Tesla Model 2 (Upcoming) Extended Warranty — Coverage Guide 2026
The upcoming Tesla Model 2 (also called 'Redwood' internally) targets the mass market at ~$25,000. As an entry-level vehicle with a smaller battery pack and simplified architecture, repair costs will be lower than other Tesla models. When it exits factory warranty around 2029–2031, third-party coverage will be the primary protection for this high-volume model.

Model 2 Factory Warranty — What Expires When
Bumper-to-Bumper
4 yr / 50,000 mi (projected)
Battery & Drive Unit
8 yr / 100,000 mi (projected)
Coverage gap: Once the bumper-to-bumper warranty lapses, all mechanical and electrical failures — except battery and drive unit — are fully out of pocket. MCU failures, heat pump failures, and door component failures all fall into this gap. Third-party extended coverage fills it.
