My model 3 has a 8 year 120,000 mile warranty. It will be returned for a new one by year 4 or 5 so it’s irrelevant other than maybe Take a having to give me a new pack if it failed.

My 3 replaced a S60 Volvo that was twice the payment per month and at 28 mpg ten times more expensive per mile to run. I have taken it as far as Miami now from DFW. I routinely take it to Austin, Houston and New Orleans using superchargers at 250kw rates it takes 15 to go back to 75% after a piss , smoke and a beer break. Austin is direct, Houston is one stop, New Orleans is one of you really push the range but I always get lunch in Shreveport top up and then stop in Baton Rouge for happy hour with buddies before New Orleans so top up as well. I could make it with one stop half way and hit New Orleans with 20% and let Caesars Palace vallet L2 it for free over night which is what I normally do as a seven diamonds member it’s free parking and charging.
