Since we are unable to purchase the service contract here in Florida, would it be possible to go to a store in another area (say where a relative lives :wink and purchase it there???

Yep, and as of today we've lost over $1,000 dollars because the price just went up.
There will need to be some retroactive agreements for longer term FL owners. As others, I was promised that when the plans become available Tesla would back date it to take into account the 12k service I already paid for.
Yesterday someone from Tesla called to talk to me about a Service Contract here. I was away in South Carolina and my wife didn't note the lady's name or phone number so I have no idea who it was....
Anyone else get a call?
I’m in South Florida and getting close to making a deposit on a P85. Due to the lack of service contracts in Florida, would I be missing out on anything other than the $600 vs $475 per annual service cost and the $100 per Ranger visit?In FL we're paying $600 per service and everyone else in the country pays only $475 if they buy the basic plan. :cursing:
On top of that we're paying $100 per Ranger visit without the opportunity to get them included by buying a higher level plan.:cursing:

Am I correct that the 4 year (+8 year battery) warranty is the same as all other states and the use of a loaner with home pick-up and drop-off is the same as in other states?
I’m about 20 minutes from the Dania Beach SC, so even if I had to take the car in for annual service it wouldn't be a major inconvenience. I’m also in a position to take title in another state if it really made sense and it wasn’t a huge hassle (but I suspect it would be).
Also, I’m curious what Florida auto insurance companies Tesla owners have had luck getting the best rates from.

I’m just now attempting to decode this, so I may be wrong, but here’s how I understand the bottom of this page - http://www.teslamotors.com/service#/service-plans -I'm not positive what you're asking here, but just in case, you should know that we also miss out on the ability to purchase the Tesla extended warranty, which is about to become a problem for me. I assume we also miss out on the $12,000 battery insurance. I don't think that's available in any state yet, but based on the reason that the other stuff isn't available to us, I guess it never will be available here.

The 4 year “Service Plan” buys 4 years of service but no warranty (because 4 years of warranty is free) but the 8 year “Service Plan” buys 8 years of service plus 4 additional years of warranty. This assumes 50,000/100,000 miles are not exceeded in the 4/8 years, except for the battery which has 8 years of free warranty with unlimited mileage.
The additional 4 year service+warranty extension costs $1,900 if you buy it 30 days after delivery, or $4,000 if you wait until 30 days after your warranty expires (4 years or 50,000 miles whichever comes first).
Florida law won’t let Tesla sell any Service Plans unless they post a big bond. If they settle with Florida in the future and sell Service Plans, they will hopefully waive both 30 day rules and also give rebates for any extra cost of service that was paid (per NigelM).
Do I have this right?
My thinking was that since roadside assistance and towing are free within 50 miles of a SC (which we are), the cost of annual service without the Plan didn’t look like a terrible deal. However I understand your point on the extended warranty component of that additional 4 years.
I suspect that on the date Tesla gets permission to offer Service Plans they will probably give Florida residents 30 days to sign up for the 8 year plan for the additional $1,900. However, it would be comforting to know for sure before I put a deposit down. Even if I thought I might sell the car, this transferable 4 year service+warranty plan may be worth paying $1,900 for because of the warranty component.
