Tesla has extended the warranty period for the Tesla Model S (+ unlimited mileage) to the detriment of the company's revenues

Elon Musk decided to demonstrate that he and his team are so confident in the cars Tesla, that the warranty period for drive cars can be extended by increasing it by 2 times. In addition, also removed the restriction on the run, now warranty is offered with any mileage vehicles.

The warranty applies only while on Tesla Model S (85 kWh), which, according to Mask is the most popular model of the electric vehicle at the moment.

Earlier warranty Model S is available for up to 4 years and 50,000 miles. Warranty can be extended for an additional 4 thousand dollars up to 8 years and 100,000 miles. But Elon Musk such a situation did not suit, and he decided to extend the warranty on the car to a maximum of 8 years with no limit on mileage.

"If we really believe that electric motors are much more reliable than internal combustion engines, with fewer moving parts ... then our warranty policy should reflect this," - said Elon Musk.

He also told investors that such innovation will negatively affect the company's earnings in the short term. But in the long run, all of which should have a positive impact on the popularity of cars, on consumer confidence in the reliability of Tesla Model S, and therefore the income of the company.
