It was supposed to be, and that's how it was advertised. That was my understanding. They may have written it wrong, but in that case the unlimited Ranger option wouldn't be worth anything.
In short, "unlimited Ranger service" was supposed to include ranger service for any need, including warranty work and work you paid for yourself.

If they announce free service, I'll demand my money back.
More likely they're correcting the legal mess they made back when. Perhaps they will finally actually publish the manuals which tell people what they have to do to service their own cars.

I did assume it stays at $600 per year because the Roadster started at $600 a year four years ago, is still $600 a year, and the Model S is $600 per year.
Not that I think it will go up right away, but Tesla's behavior seems to keep it fixed for a decent period of time. So my *guess* based upon previous behavior, is that they will keep it at $600 and then a few years down the line depending upon their costs and inflation jump to probably $650 or $700 per year. I don't see them going to $604 next year, $609 the next...

Well then the way I read it anyway, they have written it wrong! And yes, I agree, unlimited would mean nothing if it did not include any calls you made to them, for warranty AND wear and tear problems.

Has anyone who previously incurred Ranger fees (prior to the Service Plans being officially announced) gotten a refund for these at the time of purchasing the Service Plan?
I had to pay $100 Ranger fee when Tesla sent a Ranger with my winter tire/wheel set in January and was told then that this would be credited towards the purchase of the Service Plan down the line (obviously if purchasing the unlimited Ranger visit option).
Curious to know if there's anyone else in this situation.

Just got off the phone with Tesla. The WA state warranty extension is still not available but, it really doesn't matter since I can buy that up to 30 days prior to my first 4 yr/50k warranty expiration. After a long discussion, and the fact that I only live about 7 miles (only 2 miles from work) from a service center, the smartest option for me is to buy the basic 4 year plan for $1900. Even though I will likely own my car for more than 4 years, I still decided to buy the base 4 year plan as I can always buy the 4 year service extension and the 4 year warranty extension before primary service and warranty expiration. I can't think of a rational reason to buy the hedge against inflation. However, I do see a reason to buy the 4 year plan over $600/year.
Ranger service doesn't make sense because I live and work so close to the service center.
The tire warranty has too many exclusions. The biggest warranty here will be when Tesla does a software update to provide predictive parking lines and the back-up camera. They told me it was their single biggest feature request.

Does this make anyone else uncomfortable about the service package? Tesla can change anything they want at any time, without notification, and for any reason?
I'm only a potential owner, but if I owned the vehicle I wouldn't prepay the service as I think the price will drop once competition is introduced. Tesla is obligated by consumer protection laws to allow for 3rd-parties to service Tesla vehicles, right?
In light of Elon's announcement today that Tesla will deliver loaner cars to customers' home/office when scheduled for service, this may make it less urgent to purchase the service plan including unlimited Ranger service, at least if you are located a reasonable distance from a service center where they have loaner cars available.

My button came back yesterday (in WA state) and I've had only great experiences with Tesla service (Portland service center is awesome). So I bought the 4-year plan. I'm certainly comfortable with the value in that!

Wasn't WA one of those states where there was previously only a Tires/Rims program?
Still no joy here in FL.

On day 1, I bought the 4anywhere+4. Apparently that disappeared and came back for WA state for some.
I did not buy the Tire&Wheel (yet?), and that option has been present for me throughout.
I haven't seen the warranty extension option yet.
Just another data point.

That is strange, as the following is the header on my agreement (underline added):
Purchased in Alabama, California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas,Vermont, Washington and Wyoming.
But, we still do not have the warranty extension offer.

The picture of the back says Copyright 2009, so is this the same plan they are offering now? If so, why did they publish this in 2009 and not announce it until 4 years later? I would guess many ideas came and went between 2009 and today.
