Best third party warranty

[100d]

Purchased a used Tesla with no warranty.
Anyone have any suggestions for a warranty I can purchase. My battery and drive train are still covered for a couple years but I’m curious about anything else.
Can’t get extended warranty on the app.
Anyone have suggestions??

I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I’ve seen many threads on this topic so I suggest searching the forum.

Turns out Tesla service recommends XCare. So that’s that.

Has anyone tried any other companies? Looking for additional coverage if possible... Has anyone used Total Auto Protect or CarShield, or are they just scams? I know I should just go with XShield but for our mileage they're only going to cover a years worth of issues.

I almost bought car shield but two things convinced me otherwise
1. I called tesla service and asked them if they ever dealt with car shield. They said no
And that I should go with XCare which they know is reliable
2. The car shield salesman on phone was incredibly agressjve I got him down on deductible and price and yet when he sent me the info it wasn’t ev specific. Too many head scratchers for me.
I dealt with a guy named Dayan at XCare. He was great.

I've contacted carshield. The dealbreaker for me was the fact that they only covered the first 6k of the cost of a battery failure.

I still have Tesla battery coverage for the same time I have xcare. I did two years. Signed up a
Month ago so it goes into effect tomorow

How do I interpret the line break downs?
2022 with 10k miles currently....

Term Length: 8 years ( is this from the manf year of the vehicle?)
Miles: 100k ( is this total mileage from new?) so 90k more?
Coverage until date: Dec 2031 (I'm assuming from manf year)
Coverage until mileage: 110k

Just a bit confused on interpreting.

@Predation Happy to clairfy-

Term Length: 8 years- Term length adds from date of warranty purchase + 30 days (from activation date)
Miles: 100k. ADD ON from milage on contact
Coverage until date: Dec 2031 ADD on from date of contract
Coverage until mileage: 110k : or 100,000 from milage at time of contract

Please let us know if we can answer any additional or specific questions-

I was considering purchasing an extended warranty through a third party until the 057 debacle. Looking at the numbers, do these companies have a sustainable business model?

I have a 2016 MX and could purchase a 9-year battery and drive unit warranty for ~$4k. The average battery replacement cost for a MX is what, $20k? So to break even, they would need to only replace 1 out of 5 MX batteries that they cover for the next 9 years. That doesn't include drive units or operating costs. Is that realistic?

And the warranty is transferable and partially refundable, so they don't necessarily get a benefit when someone totals or sells their vehicle.

I understand the concept of bringing in new customers every year to cover that year's costs, but it seems to me that is a less than perfect strategy given the high costs and high failure rates of the parts that are covered for such a long time.
