Known issues

Medium

Warranty terms depend on when the car was bought. Tesla's warranty effective January 29, 2020 gives Model S and Model X 8 years or 150,000 miles with at least 70% capacity retention, and says cars bought earlier keep the terms in force on the day they were bought.

OEM warranty

Medium

Tesla's 2018 Model S and Model X warranty covers the battery for 8 years with no mileage limit, except the original 60 kWh battery built before 2015. It carried no capacity guarantee.

OEM warranty

Low

The 60 and 60D sold for 2016 and 2017 use this pack. Tesla's EPA filing describes the Model S 60D as a dual-motor car with a firmware-limited 75 kWh battery pack.

Manufacturer

Low

From March 2017 Tesla told EPA it was adding a second battery to the 75 carline, a 100 kWh pack module with depopulated cells and firmware limits to match the 75 kWh pack, while still building the existing pack. Its pack test measured 73.2 kWh on the standard 75 and 79.7 kWh on the new one.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty on this pack: 8 yr, with mileage and capacity terms that depend on the pack and on when the car was bought. See the notes on this page.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.
