Tesla Model 3 Highland, 2024 Warranty FSD, 48000 km

Here is a clear outline of the benefits broken down into Vehicle Warranty, Battery & Drive Unit Warranty, and FSD Software Benefits.

1. The 2024 Model 3 „Highland“ New Vehicle Warranty (Basic)

• Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage: 4 years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first).

• Benefit: Covers repairs or replacements needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship for nearly every part of the car (excluding wear-and-tear items like tires, wiper blades, and brake pads).

• 24/7 Roadside Assistance: Included for the duration of the basic warranty. Covers flat tires (tow to nearest Tesla center), jump-starts, and lockout assistance.

• Rust/Perforation Corrosion: 12 years, with unlimited mileage (covers rust perforation of the body sheet metal).

2. Battery & Drive Unit Warranty (The „Powertrain“ Benefit)

• Coverage Length: 8 years or 120,000 miles (whichever comes first) for the Long Range / Dual Motor models. (Note: The RWD model is 8 years / 100,000 miles).

• The Key Benefit: Tesla guarantees the battery will retain at least 70% of its original capacity during this period. If it degrades below 70%, Tesla will repair or replace the battery pack at no cost to you.

• Drive Unit Coverage: Covers the electric motor(s) against defects, meaning your most expensive mechanical components are protected for nearly a decade of average driving.

3. The Benefits of „FSD“ (Full Self-Driving) Capability

Note: FSD is a paid software upgrade (either purchased outright for ~$8,000 or subscribed monthly for ~$99). It does not have a physical warranty but is tied to your Tesla account. Here are its functional benefits on the 2024 Highland:

• Navigate on Autopilot (Highway): Actively guides the car from on-ramp to off-ramp, including suggesting lane changes, navigating interchanges, and taking exits without your input (you must keep hands on the wheel).

• Auto Lane Change: Simply engage the turn signal, and the car will automatically move to the adjacent lane when it is safe to do so.

• Autopark: Automatically parallel parks or perpendicular parks the car for you. (On the 2024 Highland, this is fully vision-based, using the cameras rather than ultrasonic sensors).

• Summon & Smart Summon: Moves the car forward and backward via your phone app (Basic Summon) or drives it through a parking lot to come to your location (Smart Summon) while you hold down a button on the app.

• Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control: The car will automatically slow down and stop for red lights and stop signs. With driver confirmation (or in later software, automatically), it will proceed through green lights and stop signs.

• City Streets (Autosteer on City Streets): The flagship benefit. The car will navigate complex urban environments—handling intersections, roundabouts, pedestrians, and cyclists—with the driver supervising.

4. The „Highland“ Exclusive Hardware Benefits (Complimenting the Warranty & FSD)

While not a warranty item, the 2024 Highland refresh offers hardware upgrades that improve the experience of both the warranty and FSD:

• HW4 (Hardware 4) Cameras: The 2024 Highland comes with Tesla’s newest, higher-resolution cameras and more powerful onboard computer. This means your FSD software has better visibility in low-light/rain and processes surroundings faster than older Teslas.

• Improved Suspension: The Highland features a new, adaptive suspension tune that absorbs bumps better. This reduces the wear-and-tear on suspension components, meaning you are less likely to need warranty claims for rattles or bushing wear.

• Rear Screen: Included standard, allowing rear passengers to control their climate and media, which is a benefit not tied to the drivetrain warranty.

5. Critical Fine-Print Benefits (Transferability)

• FSD Stays with the Car, NOT the Owner: If you buy FSD outright, it is tied to the vehicle’s VIN. If you sell the car, the FSD software transfers to the new owner (which increases your resale value).

• Warranty Transferability: Both the Basic and Battery warranties automatically transfer to subsequent owners at no cost, which protects the car’s resale value during the 2024–2028 period.
