Kind of curious what to expect from Tesla when I pick up my car tomorrow in terms of Service Plans. I'm still not sure what makes the most sense there. Thinking just do the annual $600 checkup at this point, but I'm curious if Tesla tries to get you to sign-up for more service plans/warranty stuff at time of delivery?
Hi Jason,
It wasn't until recently that Tesla was permitted by the state of Florida to offer multi-year maintenance and extended service agreements.
It is unlikely that the subject will be brought up by Tesla.
Here is some basic information:
Service Plans
If you are interested you should definitely bring up the subject, but don't expect Tesla to push it.
If you will notice on the Service Plans web page Tesla states:
Annual inspection, $600
Every year or 12,500 miles
It doesn't say anything about whichever comes first. So what I do is schedule maintenance every 12,500 miles. In my case based on my average mileage that's a little less than once every two years. So I'm paying around $1,200 on maintenance over four years.
Now, if I had annual mileage of 12,500 miles or more, then I would buy the 4-year prepaid annual service of $1,900 and save a little on the annual cost which would come out to $2,400 over four years if purchased year by year.
