Yep. $410. Billed through insurance.
To me....that's like my repair deductible - paid for up front.
57k miles so far.

Extended warranty? I can't believe it. What did he just say?

Thanks for responding! So you did buy it? I read around and I thought Route 66 was rejecting ICE warranties...?

Shaken to the core. GTFO outta here. Everyone knows Tesla is not at this time, and maybe never offering an extended warranty for these cars.
If that shakes you to the core, how do you deal with real life?
Do you take everything literal? How do you deal with life?

You make it sound like your dog just got ran over. Say what you mean.
Yeah I am right there with you. Low threshold for a "core shaking".
Wow....
That's all I can say.
I suppose everyone should be the same or at least very much alike.

Indeed.
Especially these days where everyone is being treated the same by the circumstances of the day - no matter the country, beliefs or anything else. I wish we ( mankind ) ( this forum ) could do the same with kindness and care for one another.
This is the wrong place to ask for that. Just count the number of all the knuckleheads who happily hand out downvotes anytime someone says something bad about Tesla. You can add the number of them incoming on this post
I'm not surprised Tesla is not offering extended warranty for the Model 3. This just means they know their product will start having failures as soon as it's out of the initial warranty. Of course this cannot be generalized. Sure, there are/will be a few without problems for longer times but with the build quality track record they have, it doesn't look good.
Good for them to have offered extended warranty for the S. They made a good call there and I'm sure a lot of buyers would have walked away if they hadn't. Same for their used S-es. Personally I wouldn't even have thought of buying one without the 4 years warranty.

Can you clarify on this? Which warranty are you referring to?
You can buy a used car from Tesla through their website and if certain criteria are met (car is under 50k miles and under 4 years old, they add a 4 year - 50k miles bumper to bumper warranty when you buy it).
The most shocking thing to me was that up to the point of my original post.....Tesla was bending over backwards to cover any and all issues they could for their customers. Inside warranty and outside warranty.
They were serving food at the Service Centers and Stores for free. They were detailing all of the Tesla's that just stopped by for free. and then BAM ( out of the blue ) things changed.
I was told that even though I exhausted my warranty in less than a year ( due to mileage )…..then that's it. You will have to now pay. They stopped serving food....and all of the free perks and services in less than a week. WOW.
They no longer looked like the Tesla of old. They now looked like every other type of Service Center.
Oh well.....
They are still good, but not like they used to be. It is what it is.
Am I hurt? NO
Am I angry? NO
Am I feeling like the way that folks in this forum are going to suggest that I am? NO.
I was just shocked. I'm no longer shocked. Tesla is Tesla. It is what it is.

Wow, Garlan.... you've been on this blog a long time and many many postings - mostly complaints BEFORE you got the car. But that's your right.
My question is how did you never read or get involved in any of those "No extended warranty" discussions that took place when the M3's finally came out?

Seems likely that Tesla just hasn't put the model 3 extended warranty program together yet, what with all the other stuff they are doing. Personally I wouldn't make more of it than that. I will probably buy the warranty when it becomes available, but not too worried before then.
I guess if it was crucially important to me to be able to buy an extended warranty, I would have confirmed pricing and availability before buying the car.

Almost all extended warranties are third party. Most car manufacturers do not offer. Tesla offering for S, X unusual. I doubt they will Ever offer again.
Most car companies I know do.
This topic is partly why I switched from Model 3 to Model X. Just didn't like the idea of owning a Tesla with out factory coverage.
Also got unlimited miles on Battery and drive train.
I had assumed Tesla eventually would offer it on Model 3, I find it very odd that they do not.
What? I got my car in September 2018.
What do you mean I started posting in this blog before I got my car
I wonder if all 400K pre 2020 model S owners should have waited to buy their cars until they could read about this. (8 years after the model 3 came out).
