2026 model year Teslas get extended 7-year warranty on expensive EV parts
Starting with the 2026 model year, Tesla vehicles will offer an extended warranty on high-cost components. These relatively expensive parts will now be covered for seven years, giving customers more peace of mind.
According to a post by Mongo on X, Tesla’s new warranty documents include a “High-Priced Propulsion-Related Part Warranty” section, which indicates that the EV maker is now offering a 7-year or 70,000-mile (110,000 km) warranty on certain parts. Other basic components, such as the battery and drive unit, still have 8-year coverage.
The newly-expanded coverage includes parts that can land owners with potentially hefty bills when they require repairs or replacement:
- Power Conversion System (PCS) Assembly
- PCS Inlet and Outlet Assembly Hoses
- Ancillary Harness Assembly
- High Voltage Fast Charge Contactors Assembly
- High Voltage System Controller
- Front and Rear Halfshaft Assemblies
- Front, Right, and Left Electrical Harness Assemblies
- Supermanifold Assembly
- Cooling Fan Assembly
- Radiator
Some of these parts are crucial to the car’s operation. For example, without the power control unit (PCU), the battery cannot charge, even though this component is among the most likely to be damaged in the event of an electrical problem.
Tesla, however, is not including the Cybertruck in this new warranty coverage. There is no official reason given, but it is possible that the company has not gathered enough reliability data on the electric pickup truck.
Tesla has been demonstrating increased confidence in its car parts. The automaker recently introduced a monthly extended warranty service in the US and Canada.
