Especially since for us earlier buyers I'm pretty sure that wasn't mentioned in the pre-pay agreement (at least not anywhere I could find at the time!). If they're not including wear and tear items in the annual service, what sense does that make? If that's the case we should just ignore the annual service and wait for things to break...I've got the extended warranty and (now tentatively) plan to pay for service annually, but if all they're going to do is check for broken things, well, it's cheaper for me to wait till they break! I'm guessing this is a terrible miscommunication though.

Now, I knew this was a risk in not pre-paying, but arguably between month 1 and month 12 (which I'm coming up on quickly), why whould Tesla replace wear items if they don't know I'll pay the $600? What about in month 13, shortly after my annual service? They don't know if I'll pay for year 2. I'm not sure how I think they should handle this. Maybe if you need something mid-year you should have to fork over the $600 for the next year's service and "pre-pay" that for the next service which will then be covered.
