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.
