Our X is going to be 4 years old end of this month, times fly when you are having fun .
It however also means the factory warranty is due to expire, there is an option to extend the warranty to 4 years for $90/month here in England. The extended warranty doesn't cover air suspension or lights, but it does seem to cover everything else with $0 excess. Looking around third party warranties cost more or equal, but requires payments to Tesla up front for repairs, than you claim the costs back with various 'conditions' in place.
The car has been so far the most unreliable car I have ever owned, with all the 'common' stuff been done on it already - Drive shafts, seats, suspension arms, FWD sensors updated, front door actuators done etc. However in the last 12 months things do seem to be OK.......The car has 'unlimited' free Supercharging, FSD (with HW3 upgrades done), and with less than 5% battery degradation at 45k miles am more than happy to keep the car till the 8 year battery warranty it up. Its recently taken us on a lovely road summer road trip to Scotland and next year we'll be going to Norway with the extended family in it, so the car it self we 100% love as there is no other family wagon onsale today that offers so much drama when doing such mundane job as getting from A to B.
So the question is do I go for the extended warranty or not??
I think it's likely I'll end up buying the warranty in the next week, but part me just wonder 'what if nothing breaks in the next 4 years and 50K mile, that warranty cost has done to waste'.....hard to imaging I know, I recon there is more chance of Tesla delivering FSD in the next 4 years than the X not needing any repairs till 2025 .
