## Battery warranty

8 years or 150,000 miles, 70% capacity retention. Per Electrek (Feb 2020) from Tesla's site; Electrek noted the 150k figure might be an error and that the original pre-2015 60 kWh battery is excluded. Older packs covered 8 yr/150k without degradation coverage.

### What happens when the Tesla Model S battery warranty ends?

The Tesla Model S battery warranty is 8 years or 150,000 miles and covers capacity loss below 70%. Per Electrek (Feb 2020) from Tesla's site; Electrek noted the 150k figure might be an error and that the original pre-2015 60 kWh battery is excluded. Older packs covered 8 yr/150k without degradation coverage. After it ends you pay for a replacement yourself: $13,000 and up for a new pack from the quotes above.

### How do I check the battery health of a used Tesla Model S?

Read the pack's state of health over the OBD2 port with a reader and app that support the Tesla Model S, such as OBDLink MX+ (with Scan My Tesla app). Check before you buy a used car or a used pack.
