I hope you've done the "annual" maintenance at 12,500 mile intervals. Otherwise, you won't qualify for the Extended Service Agreement, since a condition of coverage is all prior maintenance done within +/-1,000 miles of 12,500 increments (in your case where you drive more than 12,500 miles a year).
This is driving me crazy! When I bought my car in early 2013, I was told I had to have the "annual" inspections just to maintain the
Basic warranty, so to save money, I pre-paid for 8 years. I drive about 25,000 miles a year and so would need that many just to get me through 4 years of ownership. Subsequently, Elon came out and said no, you don't need to do this, so I figured I would use the "annuals" roughly annually, regardless of mileage and stretch out the benefit a bit longer.
I just took my car in for it's 50,000 mile inspection, which is only the second one I have had done. Tesla Service made some comment to me about how my coverage "might not be in place" as a result of the fact that I had "missed" a couple. What? I assumed they meant that I had "lost" the ones that would have been done at the earlier mileage intervals.
Here's what bugs me:
1. They apparently have a whole different set of things they do at each mileage interval,
but that was never documented or communicated to me. All I was ever told is that EVs need hardly any maintenance, and I assumed these were just "inspections". The 50,000 mile one, as it turns out, was a biggie.
2. Whenever I took my car in for other things, they always did a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't ask for, but apparently needed to be done. Fine. But it seemed silly to take my car back the next day for an "annual" when it appeared to me they had done all of the stuff they would have done at the "annual" already anyway.
3. Tesla seems to know everything about me and the car. They often call me about forum posts I make here, but they couldn't call me when one of my
pre-paid service inspections was due???
4. When I bought the Extended Warranty and Pre-Paid Service Plan, there was nothing linking the two together (i.e. You must have the Service Plan in order to buy the Extended Warranty)
I'll be thoroughly pissed if I find out my Basic or Extended Warranty (that I also paid for on day one) is not in place.:cursing:
