Although Tesla does not require you to perform all service or repairs at a Tesla Service Center or
Tesla authorized repair facility, this New Vehicle Limited Warranty may be voided or coverage may
be excluded due to improper maintenance, service or repairs. Tesla Service Centers and Tesla
authorized repair facilities have special training, expertise, tools and supplies with respect to your
vehicle and, in certain cases, may employ the only persons or be the only facilities authorized or
certified to work on certain parts of your vehicle. Tesla strongly recommends that you have all
maintenance, service and repairs done at a Tesla Serv ice Center or Tesla authorized repair facility in
order to avoid voiding, or having coverage excluded under, this New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The following will also void this New Vehicle Limited Warranty:
• Vehicles that have had the VIN defaced or alte red or the odometer or other related system
disconnected, altered or rendered inoperative so th at it is difficult to determine the VIN number
or actual mileage;
• Vehicles that have been labeled or branded as dismantled, fire-damaged, flood-damaged, junk,
rebuilt, salvage, reconstructed, irreparable or a total loss; and
• Vehicles that have been determined to be a total loss by an insurance company.
Damages
Tesla hereby disclaims any and all indirect, incide ntal, special and consequential damages arising out
of or relating to your vehicle, including, but not limited to, transportation to and from a Tesla Service
Center, loss of vehicle value, loss of time, loss of income, loss of use, loss of personal or commercial
property, inconvenience or aggravation, emotional di stress or harm, commercial loss (including but
not limited to lost profits or earnings), towing char ges, bus fares, vehicle rental, service call charges,
gasoline expenses, lodging expenses, damage to tow vehicle, and incidental charges such as
telephone calls, facsimile transmissions, and mailing expenses.
Tesla shall not be liable for any direct damages in an amount that exceeds the fair market value of
the vehicle at the time of the claim.
The above limitations and exclusions shall apply whether your claim is in contract, tort (including
negligence and gross negligence), breach of warr anty or condition, misrepresentation (whether
negligent or otherwise) or otherwise at law or in equity, even if Tesla is advised of the possibility of
such damages or such damages are reasonably foreseeable. Some states or provinces do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of indirect, direct, spec ial, incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Reasonable Time for Repairs
You must allow Tesla a reasonable time for completion of repairs and/or service. Upon notification
by Tesla of the completion of the vehicle repairs and/or service, you are responsible for immediately

Roadside Assistance (North America)
Tesla provides complimentary roadside assistance emergency services, including towing services to
the nearest Tesla Service Center or your home provided they are within 50 miles (80 km) of your
vehicle, for 4 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km), wh ichever comes first, for vehicles covered by this
New Vehicle Limited Warranty at the time of the occurrence, subject to the exclusions and
limitations described in your Roadside Assistan ce documentation. You are responsible for any
roadside assistance emergency services for vehicles or repairs not covered by this New Vehicle

Modifications and Waivers
No person or entity, including, but not limited to , a Tesla employee or authorized representative, can
modify or waive any part of this New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Tesla may occasionally offer to pay
a portion or all of the cost of certain repairs that are no longer covered by this New Vehicle Limited
Warranty for specific vehicle models, which some st ates may refer to as “adjustment programs.” In
such circumstances, Tesla will notify all known registered owners of affected vehicles. You may also
inquire to Tesla directly regarding the applicability of such programs, if any, to your vehicle. Tesla
may also occasionally offer to pay a portion or all of the cost of certain vehicle repairs that are no
longer covered by this New Vehicle Limited Warr anty on an ad hoc case-by-case basis. Tesla
reserves the right to do the above and to make changes to vehicles manufactured or sold by Tesla
and the applicable warranties, at any time, without incurring any obligation to make the same or
similar payment or changes for vehicles Tesla previously manufactured or sold, or applicable
warranties including this New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Nothing herein shall imply that any Tesla
vehicle is free of defects.
Warranty Enforcement Laws and Dispute Resolution
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is the federal law which governs this New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. Many jurisdictions have laws, commonly called “Lemon Laws,” that provide you with
certain rights if you have problems with your new vehicle. These laws vary depending on the state,
province or territory. Your new vehicle and its safe ty items comply with applicable provincial and
territorial motor vehicle laws.
To the fullest extent allowed by the law of your jurisdiction, Tesla requires that you first provide
Tesla, during the applicable warranty period spec ified in this New Vehicle Limited Warranty, with
written notification of any defects you have experi enced within a reasonable time to allow Tesla an
opportunity to make any needed repairs, and to submit to our dispute settlement program, before
you pursue any remedy under these laws.
