That's not even remotely how it works with premium cars, which is exactly why they depreciate so rapidly, because they're a ticking time bomb once the warranty expires.
I thought having a twitter was a prerequisite to owning a Tesla.
The i8 was a poorly understood vehicle. Most people expected it to have supercar performance, but it was never about pure speed, it was about exotic materials and efficient design. It wasn't the blistering performance people expected from a $150k BMW or a Ludicrous Model S of the same price. People still talk about it like it's a slow car, but it's essentially the same performance as my old V10 M6. Instead of getting 9mpg though, I get 35mpg. I would have loved to see them focus on a pure electric version w/ longer range, but instead people seem more interested in getting a bigger ICE thrown in there.
What's your solution though? Should Tesla increase the cost of the car by $5k and increase the warranty until 6yr/100k miles? By $10k and go to 8yr/120k? Should they just charge $20k/yr subscription for a car with unlimited warranty?
Sole reason why its CEO got sacked ...
When picking an extended warranty, I prefer to look for one with exclusionary coverage, meaning that they cover everything that could go wrong with the vehicle except for a specific list of excluded items. Obvious things like maintenance items are excluded, but they often also exclude things like the entertainment system, rubber seals, internal and external body materials, etc. If you opt for an inclusionary policy, then that relies on you to know the systems of the vehicle that could go wrong and compare that to the list of specific items that they cover.
