It's been off the page for a few days now as it seems Tesla is redesigning the site... I would suggest you call your local Service Center when they open tomorrow. They should be able to assist while the site is unavailable.I give up. How do you sign up for the Extended Service Plan? The Tesla site routes me to the MyTesla page, but the option to sign up is not there anymore. Or, at least, I can't find it...
DIY is always cheaper. ICE car oil change is $50 or one fourth the cost if you DIY. The one year service is cheaper if you DIY and aren't concerned about missing something that the Tesla diagnostics might pick up and fix.So here's the new service schedule.
So let's see how much that first year service is worth. For our other cars I buy the Cabin Air Filter for about $35 and I replace it myself. For the wipers, you put the wipers in service mode and the improved Bosch wipers cost $25 for the driver's (28OE) side and $19 for the passenger side (18OE). The key fob battery is an easy replacement and the batteries are $2 on Amazon. Tire rotation and check can be done for about $30. So for a service that is worth about $101 Tesla charges $400. That's 4X to service what is supposed to be an EV with very little maintenance.
Good points. Personally, my 85D is almost one year old and I am weighing the options. Do I take it in for a "one year" service or perhaps a "two year service" since it has 26,000 miles? Or... just DIY. I could do the "two year" A/C and brake service myself but that is more complicated and probably better to have Tesla do that. Right now I'm thinking I'll take it in for a "two year" service and have Tesla go over it carefully to take advantage of their diagnostics. I'll have to talk to the service people in Rocklin and see what they say.I'm just happy there are choices. To each their own deciding between Dealer Service with "free" Keurig/water/snacks, DIY, mix-and-match, or those that prefer to just do no preventive service while they lease or own their MS. The debate is endless and IMHO fruitless. The additional subjective point no one can put a dollar value on when it comes to SC (dealer) maintenance is if one never takes it in, there is no opportunity for Tesla to potentially take care of goodwill ECs and updates... there are examples in other threads where owners had door handles and other items replaced out-of-the-blue because they were in for something else, and the updates likely wouldn't have been otherwise done because they were not part of a formal recall. Whatever. We can each decide where our dollars are spent. I just know whoever looks at buying my MS some day, I'm sure will love their new toy having had annual service with complete documented records to back it up, along with remaining prepaid extended warranty and annual service through 8 years.
AC is not designated in the Owner's Manual. Like most cars, a Brake Flush is called out at 2 years or 25K miles.Good points. Personally, my 85D is almost one year old and I am weighing the options.

Are the A/C and brake fluid change time dependent or mileage dependent? The car is only one year old but has two years (26,000 miles) on the odometer.

Except we are talking about replacing wiper blades, replacing a key fob battery, and replacing the cabin air filter. I am not a crazy DIY person but even I can do all this in 20 minutes or less and just the hassle of not having to schedule and deal with the car being picked up is worth it for me to do those 3 simple things on my own.
Those who purchased the ESA prior to the recent change can still transfer their policies in a private party sale, only those who have purchased them since November are unable to transfer due to the change in the ESA language. There is still value in buying the ESA to cover items that would normally be excluded after 50,000 miles. That hasn't changed. I don't think the transferability is a majority consideration.
So here's the new service schedule.

I bought the Tesla carbon-activated cabin air filter ("pollen filter") and replaced it myself for $8.25. I did the ICONs for about that price as well. I figured since my brakes, drive unit, and battery were replaced in the past year, those fluids were all taken care of too.
You are saying that because you got a personal exemption from Jerome :tongue:
Some of us do own a Tesla and still think it's unreasonable.A Tesla car simply can't be compared to any other ICE car, therefore, I find your constant comparisons to MB to be irrelevant. And by scare-quoting the word inspection, you again are discounting to zero the time and effort Tesla Service Centers take during the Annual Inspection. Have you ever taken your car in for an Annual Inspection and learned first hand what goes on?
