You have it backwards. Hyundai, KIA, etc will knock it down to 5yrs/60K for used car buyers.

Teslas new car warranty transfers as is to the new owner.

Although confusingly, the battery/motor on a Hyundai EV is covered under a different 10-year/100K warranty which does transfer to used car buyers. Important because of their unfixed ICCU problems.
5yrs is only for the 2nd owner. 3rd owner and beyond gets the shaft. Or rod, I suppose.
Why would they do that? It just seems like such a bad business move without really affecting anything.
Some MBAs probably calculated that it saves more money than they would lose by pissing off used car buyers. And they want people to buy new cars.

Seems like the effect would be to take off a significant chunk of value off your used car in a way that makes it more difficult to buy a new car.
