Hello all,
I visit my sisters in Albuquerque NM frequently using my 2012 Model S, and I worry about availability of emergency roadside towing to a Tesla service center from there (the closest is in Tempe or Scottsdale, AZ). Has anyone had occasion to use their Tesla emergency roadside assistance plan in New Mexico for purposes of having to have their car repaired at a Tesla service center?
I wonder if Tesla has to arrange for a special vehicle transporter for this, since the allowable towing radius for most towing companies does not come anywhere close to the 400 mile distance that is required in this case.
I have a secondary curiousity about how much a 400 mile tow would cost, since Tesla no longer pays for the tow after 4 years of vehicle ownership, regardless of whether the extended service or extended warranty plans were purchased, for which I have both (I confirmed the roadside assistance expiration information from multiple Tesla customer service conversations).
I’d much appreciate any information you may have.
Thanks!
