So the SC is trying to charge for a repair that I thought would have been covered by warranty.
For most of us who purchased "new", the car is going to have a few dozen miles on it, or more if purchasing test driven vehicle, and the issue is whether the warranty expires precisely at 50,000 miles on the clock, OR if its 50,000 miles from the date of registration
Mine was a test drive vehicle with 5000 miles on the odometer and was unregistered (not to tesla nor a prior owner) and so far I've owned the car for 34 months / 48k driven miles.
Unfortunately today with 53k odometer miles I bring it in for repair and they stated that the vehicle is no longer under warranty.
To my knowledge, (unfortunately) confirmed verbally by Tesla associate, its 4 years (50,000 miles) from the date I pickup the vehicle. Its also written written somewhat vaguely in the warranty book, it states the warranty: begins on the "first day a new vehicle is delivered" and "for a period of 4 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km), whichever comes first". It also doesn't help that there are multiple "versions" of the warranty book.
To me, I'm reading it as, I get 50,000 miles warranty starting from the point I picked up the vehicle, regardless of how many miles on it.
Does anyone have prior experience with this issue?
