There have been many many posts about Teslas warranty performance. Some report a bad experience while others are very satisfied. As more and more Teslas are sold the SC are getting stressed and people complain about not getting a Tesla as a loaner. My experience is great as I have not had any problems except a door handle not coming out which Tesla came to my house and fixed. Also they did realign my chrome at the doors as it was maybe 1/8 of an inch off.
What is clear to me that Tesla is not concerned if you occasionally take your car to the drag strip. No warning letters have been sent to owners posting their times on DragTimes which they could do very easy. They certainly advertise the benefits of instant torque and that the P100DL is the quickest car you can buy.
P85DEE is leery of the Tesla service is not for profit idea. The first thing my SM said that Tesla service is not for profit. Elon has stated the same thing numerous times. It is ironic that P85DEE accused the owners who publicly questioned the 10.9 of hurting Tesla is now publicly creating doubt about Tesla warranty.
That last sentence was completely uncalled for.
My only point is that Tesla, like any auto manufacturer, can deny a warranty claim at their discretion.
What you were told with regard to tracking your car by someone at your service center, who might not even be there a year from now I might add, may turn out to be completely different from what someone else is told at a service center across the country from you.
And if anyone across the country from you should have a problem, well then they can't point to "your post" regarding what somebody told you, and use that in an argument over a warranty claim.
It is better to get official notice and an official stance from Tesla, preferably in writing, with regard to this matter as opposed to the postings of what someone one on the internet says that they were told with regard to it.
There are no doubt some in here, myself included, who would be more comfortable armed with that, should they later decide to track their cars and develop a subsequent issue, as opposed to what a member of an Internet forum across the country, or even "across the pond" says they told him at his particular service center.
