Tesla Model 3 Performance Extended Warranty — Coverage Guide 2026
The Performance variant's track-tuned suspension, higher-output motors, and Performance-specific power electronics create additional failure categories beyond the Long Range. Ludicrous mode operation and track use accelerate wear on drive components. Lowered suspension raises replacement costs when components fail.

Model 3 Performance Factory Warranty — What Expires When
Bumper-to-Bumper
4 yr / 50,000 mi bumper-to-bumper
Battery & Drive Unit
8 yr / 120,000 mi
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.
