Starting a new company is not an easy undertaking. The complexities of running a business in any industry seem to be mount higher and higher each year, what with local, state and country regulations. Then if your product or service expands into other countries, there are even more regulations to contend with as well. This couldn't be even more true for the automotive industry. If anything, it is even tougher for that industry than any other.
New car buyers are usually hesitant to buy an unknown brand of vehicle. After all, it is pretty sizable investment into something that they need everyday without fail. The unknown brand leaves many questions on the table because there is no reputation established yet in regards to dependability and reliability. Thus the unknown makes the task of a new brand almost impossible.
Edmunds, a name well known and respected has been test driving a new brand, the Tesla Model S, an electric car on a long-term basis. Yes, they take the challenge to test drive such things so that the manufacturer has the opportunity to get the “bugs” out before their product hits the market. Risky for Edmunds, but somebody has to do it, right? It is also a risk for any auto manufacturer as Tesla found out right away when they had to replace the test unit 4 times for Edmunds.
So how did Tesla Motors counteract those 4 failures with Edmunds? The Silicon Valley auto maker announced a major upgrade that no other auto maker has dared to attempt, and most likely won't. They have increased the warranty to the Model S drivetrain to equal that of the battery pack. What does that mean? Well the 85-kilowatt-hour Model S now comes with an 8 year warranty on the drive-train and even better, unlimited mileage... or according to Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, “infinite mileage!”
