    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a warranty extension Now that Tesla offers one

    Sorry but buyers aren't looking for that stuff and will discount it. They look at miles, model year, trim, condition. Extras like warranty, ppf, FSD, get discounted heavily.

    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a warranty extension Now that Tesla offers one

    In the case of Tesla, the house always wins even if you choose the out of warranty option, because Tesla sets the prices. They have a monopoly on service, there are only a small number of independent shops who work on Teslas. Plus, there are many well documented issues for Model 3. Control...

    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a warranty extension Now that Tesla offers one

    I would be much more comfortable going it alone if there were abundant independent repair shops who would work on these cars. Right now the choice is limited and Tesla basically has a monopoly on the price of repairs. If your motor goes bad, you're taking it to tesla and paying whatever they...

    Thinking about pulling the trigger on a warranty extension Now that Tesla offers one

    Sure, but there's a difference between what it costs to repair something and what service charges for it. For example, lets say you need your MCU replaced. Service will charge you 2k for it.

    Social Media and Posts on here starting to give me anxiety.

    Sell enough cars and someone out there will have a bad experience. I had a great experience taking delivery in my 2018 Model 3. Took less than 30 minutes, singed some papers, gave them a check and I was driving back home really quick. Have a 2023 model on order, 100% not worried at all.
