Extended warranties are a rip off for all items not just cars. Even in the slight chance you need it they always try to weasel out of paying. I’ve been deciding extended warranties since 1988 and have saved over $100,000 US. The one time I bought a home warranty they refused to pay when my AC compressor went out. Never again. Remember this saying. “Don’t pay in advance, give luck a chance”.

Buying my first Tesla 3 used 2022, still got 2 years to use Tesla warranty, but with so many items like the main screen and heat pump, the aftermarket warranty may just save some money. The new heat pump is over £3000, perhaps people know different and used them. It’s a risk business but most things are these days with cars.

This is incorrect. Please correct the video. This is an extension of the 50k mile warranty, and doesn’t include the battery and powertrain because that is covered by the separate 120k warranty. The downside is the service visit co-pay, but for many this may be worth it. Will it definitely save you money? No, but it’s a warranty extension. The idea is it is hedging the cost against possible more expensive surprise costs later. To each their own. But if you have a model y and you haven’t had to replace the hvac yet, I’d buy it. Too many of those fail and this pays for itself.

The chances of anything going wrong that is covered by the warranty are quite small otherwise they wouldn’t offer it in the first place. Best just to take a chance of nothing going wrong and if it does it probably won’t cost more than the warranty cost and if it does the warranty probably wouldn’t cover it anyway

I have had three friends who have had the same suspension issue. Something on the passenger side starts to squeak and then goes bad. The one who had it repaired out of warranty was fairly expensive. That is the kind of thing that would tempt me to get this extension.

I think the information here is wrong. The warranty is for the cars which haven't reached the end of their 50K/4yr warranty for the non-drivetrain components. That said, I probably wouldn't buy it but it extends the warranty for the rest of the car other than the drivetrain. The drivetrain already has an 8 year/120K warranty in the US.
@FarhoodEnsan9 ай бұрын
It's not meant to extend the battery and powertrain warranty. For my Model 3, it increases the full warranty from 50k to 75k miles. The battery and motors are still at 120k.

I asked the question about extended warranty at Parramatta shop and I was told that is not offered. The person said battery and motor are most important and covered for eight years so no need. Typical Tesla, if they don't offer it is not important. I believe we can claim reasonable life product warranty in Australia beyond what is offered, no?

The only reason I would consider buying an extended warranty from Tesla for my Model Y is due to the car's heat pump. If it fails after warranty expires, it can cost $3,600 US (see John VanDeVoort's YT channel about his recent out of warranty heatpump/supermanifold replacement).

You called it an "Extended Warranty" several times and in fact, it's in your KZfaq title. Once you said an "Extended Service Contract" it is neither it is an "Extended Service Agreement" That may sound trite but there are a lot of things that are not covered under the ESA that were covered under the original warranty. The battery and drive unit have a separate warranty to satisfy CARB (California Air Resources Board) for 120K or 8 years so to extend that to 75K is a reduction. If you are like my wife with her Model Y she puts a lot of miles on the car, 20K as of 6/23. She took delivery in late 2022 so she could have 40K by early 2023 and I'll probably pony up the 2K before the 50K odometer rolls over. One computer issue will pay for it. Tesla doesn't offer the ESA on my Model S Plaid but even if I did I have so few miles on it I would be very unlikely to ever use it and I doubt it would add resale.

Tesla are in the business of making money. Musk would not provide extended warranties if he calculated he would lose on the deal. Also, the fineprint would need to be read thoroughly. You missed a service with us, no coverage. Didn't change those tyres when we said, no coverage. Charged to 100% too many times, no coverage.

The power train and battery have a longer warranty anyway, so logically this extension does not cover those items. Frankly, I never buy extended warranties, and prefer to take the small risks involved. Guess what? I've never had anything fail within a hypothetical extended warranty period. I've saved many thousands of pounds over the decades. If it will fail, it's usually either very early (it's called 'infant mortality') or towards the end of product life (old age); the so-called 'bathtub curve'. No sensible company offers extended warranties unless they can be sure that those warranties will only be used on rare occasions. They do the maths first.

Seeing the offer: - Tesla quality is terrible as cover is poor - huge profit generator in USA where warranties are weak anyway versus fe Europe. - looks like an ice car wattanty but much less moving parts, so a true rip-off. Shame on you Tesla should be leading in normal new car warranty. It does not show they really believe they produce top quality. Top price should mean top quality backed up with a top warranty and to service. Producing at great efficiency but a resulting disastrous repairability is the most likely root cause, now all on the expenses of end customers and then say affordability is what we strive for. It smells dirty and this warranty introduction makes it worse. Blind folded naive thinking making fools out of US-consumers.
