If Tesla is now having the same policies as most other car makers, they're losing their 'we're different than big car makers street cred'
But they haven't yet shown themselves to be a big car maker in other important ways, like making a consistent product, or not attacking their customers (some deceased) on twitter.
Article / headlines don't seem to match up. This is AFTER the previous warranty of 4 years / 50k miles expires it sounds like.
> “Tesla used vehicles are covered by the remainder of 4 years or 50,000 miles left on the Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty. After expiration, the Used Vehicle Limited Warranty provides additional coverage of 1 year or 10,000 miles. If the Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty has already expired, the Used Vehicle Limited Warranty will provide coverage of 1 year or 10,000 miles, starting from your delivery date.”
There used to be a larger such supplemental warranty, so the headline does match the content.
What's not clear from the article is what used to happen if you bought a Tesla on the cusp of the main warranty expiring. It seems to imply you were just out of luck. I doubt that's true.

Poorly written article.
