On July 5th, Tesla’s policy update that “Warranty for touchscreen and media control unit changed to 2 years or 40,000 km” caused a heated discussion.
Tesla’s official response was: “The update only affects the warranty conditions for touchscreen and media control unit that exceed the original warranty period/mileage, and ‘the vehicle’s warranty mileage and time limit have not changed’.”
In simpler terms, if you buy a new car, the warranty for touchscreen and media control unit remains 4 years or 80,000 km.
However, if the touchscreen and media control unit have been replaced due to other reasons (such as human damage), the warranty for the new touchscreen and media control unit is 2 years or 40,000 km.
