There are several ways you could void your Tesla’s warranty. In general, to maintain your warranty, you are responsible for:
Complying with any recall advisories
Only carrying passengers and cargo within specified load limits
Proper operation of the vehicle
Some of the most common things that will void your Tesla warranty include:
Defacing, altering, disconnecting, or rendering inoperative the VIN, odometer, or other related system, or making it difficult to determine the VIN or actual mileage
• Having your vehicle labeled or branded as dismantled, fire-damaged, flood-damaged,
junk, rebuilt, salvage, reconstructed, irreparable, or a total loss
• Having your vehicle identified as totaled by an insurance company
You are also responsible for receiving and maintaining detailed and accurate records of your vehicle’s maintenance, including the 17-digit VIN, servicing center name and address, mileage, date of service or maintenance, and description of service or maintenance items.
Although Tesla does not require you to perform all service or repairs at a Tesla Service Center or Tesla authorized repair facility. Tesla Service Centers and Tesla authorized repair facilities have special training and tools with respect to your vehicle and may be the only facilities certified to work on certain parts of your Tesla.
