aren't there lots of companies that will sell you extended warranties? its basically just a form of insurance. Or will most of them not cover Teslas yet? if they do I doubt the one Tesla is promoting will be the best value since they will be giving Tesla a serious kickback
Surely it means that if you have a problem you take the car to Tesla Direct to get It fixed which seems a reasonable deal If that’s the case or do you think you go to a third party for repairs ?
Quoting £2425 for a four year extra warranty.Anyone actually bought this yet or too early for the uk ? I really think that £500 annually is a good deal....only if the policy is good though !

I've only ever had something like this once on my first ever new car purchase from a large chain of dealerships.
Was not worth the paper it was printed on. Any attempt at a "claim" was rejected for some reason or another.

I suspect we'll see more comprehensive extended warranties in a year or so once the Model 3 gets closer to the end of it's warranty period when companies get a better idea as to likely costs and claim frequency. Tesla want you to buy more cars, and it seems most tesla's are on finance so how not sure how many extended warranties they would sell.
The other factor is the rate of development for EV's. Not sure I would want to keep my Tesla for longer than 4 years with the new battery cells due in a couple years for example.

You see as i have bought FSD and thinking Acceleration Boost, you have a long term investment in the car....
I have FSD also, however I do wonder if we will need a hardware update to make best use of it in a few years time
If we have paid for the software it would be redundant without the latest hardware - i assume upgrades would be free.

Unfortunately I think your being EXTREMELY optimistic there. It's much more likely that we would get told, well your software still works to its limits, but if you want the next version of the software that does this much more, then you need to upgrade.
Wow. Like any insurance policy, they are generally only worthwhile if the cost is a very low single digit % of the potential claim cost.
£2425 seems extortionate to me. So genuine question as I try to educate myself - what annual warranty claims are you thinking might happen, or over 4 years?

No problem, you'll get your prorated refund for unused years/miles if you prematurely sell or trade-in your car.

Not really ! In Switzerland it costs 3'580 CHF (4 years) for a Model S. I had to pay 1'500 CHF (1 year ) for a Audi SQ5 !
Your understanding is correct,the coverage offered is for an additional 2 or 4 years and or 25,000 or 50,000 miles from the expiry of the Tesla New Vehicle Extended Warranty.
