3rd Party Extended Warranties

I'm pretty sure I have seen one person that has used one on here, if you search you should be able to find it.
I don't recall if Tesla billed them directly or if they had to pay and file for reimbursement.

Tesla will not deal with non-Tesla warranty plans. You pay for the repair out of pocket and then submit a claim with the non-Tesla warranty plan to seek repayment.
Personally, I don’t trust a third party plan. I had a bad experience. Bought a new Dodge Durango many years ago and the Dodge dealer sold me a third party extended warranty plan. Several years later the car needed a new transmission. Discovered that the warranty company had filed for bankruptcy and would not honor the warranty plan.

OK here is one example that I found: Car Shield Extended Warranty experiment
From what he said Tesla did bill, or accept payment, from the warranty company directly.

Thanks for asking. California has state laws that prevent us from selling directly to consumers via online. We should be going live in CA here fairly soon to partner with Dealers in the state that will be able to sell it to you directly.
If you fill out your information in this link below, we will let you know once we are live and which dealer location will be able to sell you the warranty.

X- Care by Xcelerate Auto now offers a 3rd party warranty. Has anyone purchased it? Or actually filed a claim with it? How is it working out?

Here is a video that explains how the claims works.
The claims process works around Tesla service and we pay them direct. Please give us a call if you want to talk it through - happy to expand further.
Hi any updates on CA? I tried filling out the link but kept on getting kicked back. This was on the phone and computer.
Yes we have been live in California for a few months now. I just tested it out on my end and everything seemed to work properly.
You can also go on our instant quote tool, input your vehicle info, select what term you want, and (for CA customers) it will direct you to a page to add contact info so one of our team members can reach out.

if nothing else seems to work then feel free to call or email us and we can walk you through everything.

A person I know is selling his 2013 S with 129k miles for a (obviously) low price. It looks like Xcelerate doesn't offer warranties on high mileage (maybe CarShield does). I'm wondering: if I "self insure," planning to buy and drive the car for 8 more years and another 125k miles, what is a reasonable amount to budget for future repairs? $1k/year (beyond tires/brakes/etc)? $2k/year?
I noticed that Tesla's 4-year extended warranty was priced at about $1k/year; and Xcelerate/Carshield charge maybe $1.2-$1.3k/year (?), though without covering the battery/drivetrain.
As a more general question, I also wonder what will become of all the Teslas >8 years old. Tesla seems to be slowly reducing repair costs (e.g.: replace LCD screen or MMC flash as needed, rather than replacing the whole MCU like in early years). But many Tesla owners I know have no intention of keeping their Tesla beyond its extended warranty. I would love to see old Teslas filter out into the used car market, joining all the older ICE cars which are purchased by drivers who can't afford new cars (of any brand). But if you need a $10k "repair fund" in the bank in order to drive a 10-year-old Tesla, that will be a hard-sell.

Can anyone share experiences with X-Care? i'm considering for my used X bought through 3rd party (not qualified for Tesla ext warranty).

Original: 2012 Model S (85); Current: 2024 Model S
My 8 year warranty is expiring in a few days... does Tesla offer an extended warranty beyond 8 years? I’m the original owner, mileage is 84k miles.
The basic Tesla warranty is good for 4 years, the battery/drive train for 8 years. There is a time period when you have the Tesla battery warranty, but not a warranty for the rest of the car.
Xcare just added a battery/drive train warranty.
