Hi everyone, I'm a little confused, forgive me I'm a n00b. I placed an order a week ago for a long range Model S. My car hasn't been built yet. When I was at the showroom, they walked me through a service plan, which was basically buying 4 years of servicing upfront. Now I see they are saying they aren't doing that anymore.
I'm a little confused they'd literally try to sell it to me last week, then not offer it this week, but okay. I'm not entirely clear on whether I am still supposed to buy the plan because I ordered last week, but this change looks like it is universal. Assuming that is the case, the things that need to be done do not look particularly challenging. I mean, changing air filters is something I reckon I could do (at least in a normal car).
So does this "as needed" servicing need to be done at a Tesla Service Centre, or can we get a local mechanic to do it? Do Tesla supply the filters to local mechanics, or only sell them via the Service Centre? Is there any other checks done (data logs, battery, air suspension, etc) that would mean I should go to the Service Centre? It seems a long way to drive to change an air filter, check the wiper blades and brake pads...
Regards, Dale
