On-board charger and charge port actuator

Tesla models we cover

We arrange cover for Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X, along with most other Tesla variants registered in the UK up to 15 years old and 150,000 miles.

Petrol, diesel, hybrid and fully electric versions are all quotable, and Northern Ireland registrations are accepted alongside GB plates.

Why Tesla owners take out cover after the factory term

Tesla’s UK service centres are concentrated around major cities and repairs are quoted at fixed unit prices, so a single drive unit or MCU replacement can be a four-figure bill with no negotiation.

How Tesla warranty pricing works

Tesla plans cover the drive unit, charging hardware and control electronics — the components that fall outside the separate eight-year battery and drive unit manufacturer cover once it expires.

Every quote shows the monthly figure and the pay-in-full total before you commit, with no admin fee added at checkout and a 14-day cooling-off period after purchase.

Making a Tesla claim

Take the vehicle to any VAT-registered garage in the UK, including a marque specialist or franchised dealer. Ask them to send us the diagnosis and estimate, we authorise the repair against your claim limit and labour rate, and we settle with the garage directly wherever possible so you are not left funding the bill and waiting for a refund.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Tesla warranty worth it in the UK?

It is worth it when a single realistic repair would cost more than the plan. Tesla’s UK service centres are concentrated around major cities and repairs are quoted at fixed unit prices, so a single drive unit or MCU replacement can be a four-figure bill with no negotiation.

Can I use my own garage for Tesla repairs?

Yes. Any VAT-registered garage in the UK can carry out the work, including Tesla specialists and franchised dealers, as long as the repair is authorised before work starts.

Does a high-mileage Tesla still qualify?

Yes, up to 150,000 miles and 15 years old at the point cover starts. Tesla plans cover the drive unit, charging hardware and control electronics — the components that fall outside the separate eight-year battery and drive unit manufacturer cover once it expires.

How quickly can Tesla cover start?

Cover can begin immediately after purchase, or on a future date if you are waiting for a manufacturer or dealer warranty to expire first.
