To receive service covered by a Tesla limited warranty, you will need to take your vehicle to a Tesla Service Centre. However, for any non-warranty repair or maintenance, you may use a Tesla Service Centre or visit your preferred non-Tesla vehicle service centre. Tesla is not responsible for any issues caused by improper repair or maintenance by a third-party service centre.

Yes. Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty will follow your vehicle and be transferred to the new owner when a vehicle ownership transfer is performed through Tesla.
Before your service appointment, the Service team will review your appointment details, perform remote diagnostics and prepare an initial estimate for your upcoming visit. Review the estimate in the Tesla app by tapping ‘Service’ > ‘View estimate.’ Repairs that are expected to be covered under warranty should appear as $0 on the estimate.

Certain repairs require an in-person inspection before the Service team can confirm warranty coverage. These repairs may appear on your estimate with an initial cost. If these repairs qualify for warranty coverage, the Service team will verify this on the date of your appointment and any charges for those repairs will be removed. For any questions about warranty coverage or repair costs, you can contact the Service team directly through the Tesla app.

Note: You will be notified of any changes to the initial estimate. Service will not be performed without your approval of any updated costs.
