Hi All!
I'm approaching 43,000 miles on my 2013 s85. The big question is, do I spent nearly $5000 and buy the extended warranty which will last me about 3 years or roll the dice?
Anyone in my boat contemplating the same thing?

Normally yes, however Tesla has stated that service is not to be a profit centre, so things aren't exactly the same here.Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we usually end up NOT ahead in extended warrantees?

I've never bought a car in warranty, but I don't think there's any possible way I could afford a Tesla that wasn't under warranty.
This is the part that worries me the most. I don't know enough about ICE engines to do much repair work on those (beyond replacing a few belts or filters) however I understand computers, electronics, and electricity quite well and thought that one of the great advantages to an EV is that it would finally be a vehicle that I understand and would feel comfortable working on. Unfortunately as long as Tesla refuses to let anyone work on their vehicles the cost of doing so will remain far too high.I have never been a fan of extended warranties, but I like working on my cars. Could I buy a replacement door handle or AC compressor from Tesla if the one on my car goes bad? I believe I've seen it here that Tesla does not sell their parts to individuals. If this is the case it means I could not save money by performing the work myself, I would be forced to take it to a service center and pay their labor rate. I don't like the lack of options.
Ditto. Sucks.Yeah, I'm not buying the extended warranty. Not because I don't want to, mind you, but because I can't. Some hangup about Tesla selling extended warranties in WA state. I had hoped it'd be resolved by now.
I'm on an 85 so there is no limit on the mileages and the warranty is 8 years. I think by the time that runs out I will have sold it and switched to a new car.
Ditto. Sucks.
Has anyone posted about getting repairs after they are over 50,000 miles? I am at 40,000 miles and plan to take the car in at 49,500 and get every little thing fixed. I probably will go without the extended warranty unless I hear some bad stories from others.
So far, there doesn't seem to be one person who thinks rolling the dice is a good idea.
