3rd party extended warranty providers?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I am looking at 3rd party extended warranty for my new 21 m3LR. I commute 150miles 4 days a week. So I know I will be out of the factory warranty in about 2 years.

I see some post for excelerate. I see carsheild as being a high recommendation on a few other sites as well.

Can anyone please comment on these two or others they came across or use?

Vendors please do not respond. I want to hear from actual users!

I purchased an extended warranty for our 2018 model X. I considered the X with the falcon wing doors and the complexity it may be worth the coverage. I've used it for a passenger seat restraint that was faulty along with a sensor in one of the FW doors. I also had the half shafts changed out in the front but that may could have been done under a recall if I were to fight with out warranty. This was purchased through tesla. I can't figure out for why Tesla is not or never had offered an extended warranty for the 3 or Y. I guess they consider it may not be worth the purchase. I too would like to hear from real world users for our Model Y is nearing 46,000 miles. I personally may consider not investing. As bjrosen mention, the high price items have a much longer warranty.

I would recommend you get an extended warranty on this car. While the motors and battery are covered for a longer period, if you look at what really ends up failing on most cars, it's not the powertrain. It's the A/C, cooling systems, steering racks, suspension, electronics, door windows and locks, power seats, etc. And the problem is that Tesla makes repairing these items very expensive compared to something like a Camry with Apple-style tactics. For instance, if you have a cooling system leak and try to get what might be a simple plumbing issue fixed at your local shop, they'll void the battery warranty.
