If you don’t mind sharing, what was your mileage roughly at the time and what was the cost of that warranty?

Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?
- Thread starter Physicslawyer
- Start date
Also, do you mean you added 10 years from the date of the warranty purchase? Or is it 10 years from car build date (effectively Dec 2026)?
10 years and 125k miles from the date of purchase. Was about 50k miles so goes to 175k miles and November 2031. Chances I will have the car the entire time are nearly zero but I think it’ll make it easier to sell when the time comes. Was $6691.
I split the difference and went with the 7 year/75k for $5202. Kind of wish I went with the 8 or 10 year/100k looking back. Especially since the warranty transfers for $50 or something.
Hello, can you please tell me more about Xcelerate warranty because I too i'm very interested in purchasing. Thank you !

After plenty of thought and as we are reaching the end of our warranty from Tesla, I finally purchased an extended service agreement from Xcare for wifey's Model 3. Brent Seavey was extraordinarily helpful, professional, answered all questionsa dn there was no pressure. Hope not to need it, but it feels like some peace of mind as she keeps her cars for a long while.

I would definitely get this warranty but I see red flags already and would like you to prove to me that I’m wrong by thinking you’re company is a scam like every other 3rd party extended warranty company that isn’t backed by a dealership or manufacturer. Having said that what insurance is your company backed by? Obviously you have zero backing from Tesla so if/when you go under is your insurance backed company held accountable to be paying my repairs or just like every 3rd party company am I screwed if you go bankrupt? How long has the insurance company been in business if you even have one that takes on the repair costs that your company won’t be covering if/when you go under and do you have any affiliation with that insurance company?
I know you’re a profitable company from offering other services like financing and leasing before you started doing these extended warranties about 3 yrs ago, are you both under the same corporation so if you go bankrupt your entire company does?

I have no relation or business with this company yet, although I am considering getting the warranty. DO some research, and many of your questions would be answered. There are very few members of FMC that have had unresolved issues with this company, and I am sure we would know if there was a bad experience. Look at the information. It has the financial backers and some added information for you. Extended Warranty for Tesla Owners
By the way, the link above is through Evanex, but you can buy the insurance and research more from the company link at: X-Care - Xcelerate Auto

I need to purchase the ESA by the end of the month or get X-Care and I'm curious what people's experiences have been with X-Care and with any claims they have had.

Just found out why this company still exists and so cheap they don’t cover the battery or drivetrain the two things I only really care about being covered. I knew there was no way what I read from others on social media could be accurate. They compared it and on here I believe to Tesla’s extended warranty when that’s clearly not the case.

I have a post comparing Tesla's extended warranty with this company, and they are almost exactly the same. Tesla doesn't cover the battery and drivetrain after 8 years. No extended warranty, including Tesla covers these items after 8 years, except specialty warranties that are out there that ONLY cover the battery. You are covered by Tesla for 8 years in the New Car Warranty, not their extended warranty. I am not aware of any warranty that covers the drivetrain after 8 years.

I research a LOT and just signed up with xcare (today). Brent was awesome and answered all my questions, so at least the sales side was great. Obviously no feedback from me on actually using the policy but they have obviously thought this out for Tesla owners…
Hope I never use it, but at least I have it

Really considering this. The amazingly long CPO bumper to bumper just run out on my 2014 MS, and if I look back at all the repairs since I have owned the car and extrapolate into the future, it seems to make a lot of sense. In 4+ years Tesla has replaced my headliner, 2 door handles (they had already been upgraded during the CPO refurbishment), a door latch, the power hatch system, the lower back seat, the MCU, and recalibrated the AP1 sensors. Although this would not be covered by xcare, they also replaced one of the headlights due to water leakage, but it was not covered by the bumper to bumper either (and it was absurdly expensive).
Thanks all for sharing your experiences!

I had to use my xcare warranty for the first time recently when my model 3 control arms started creaking. Overall, a great experience.
Called the number and started a claim, which was super easy. The warranty company was great to work with, and the Van Nuys service center didn’t have any issue with sending them the invoice for the repairs. Only minor hiccup was Tesla ended up having my car ready for a pickup on Saturday, when the warranty company was closed, so I paid out of pocket, then just got reimbursed later. I could have left my car until Monday, but it was more convenient for me to pick it up during the weekend and paying out of pocket vs waiting.

Well there is apparently and it’s what I read on forums where they actually offer battery/motors extended warranty past the 8 yrs. So yes there is a company that does offer the extended battery/drivetrain warranty. In my opinion it’s risky af and that company will fail guaranteed.
I don’t see any reason to buy a warranty from a 3rd party when you can just extend thru Tesla. I would much rather pay a little more for peace of mind. The only way you get screwed buying it from Tesla is if they go bankrupt. Otherwise buying any 3rd party warranty is always going to be much more risky than beneficial for the mass majority of potential buyers that are contemplating it. Like any insurance, it doesn’t make sense to buy if the company is still in business. That means the coverage isn’t worth it or they would be bankrupt if it was. And perhaps they will, since Tesla specifically made it harder to extend their warranties, increased the price, as well as a deductible that they never had years ago, no longer provide it with their used cars which also cannot be extended thru Tesla.
Why? What’s to research? It’s basically like Teslas extended warranty but with more issues when dealing with paying for the service bill etc. It’s always going to be more difficult so unless they offered something dramatically better I would never buy it over Tesla’s extended warranty.
My answers are there? Are joking? If they are please show me? Show me who they have backing their company if they go bankrupt? Do you know? That was my question so explain or don’t just post fake testimonials which is the biggest scam indicator when you have the same few people saying their a satisfied customer. What services have they covered for you? Receipts etc, showing how easy it was. For example having the claim paid immediately.Your questions are answered here:

The only company I still see in business that does warranty coverage is endurance.
If you what to talk about 3rd party warranty companies than I can guarantee there isn’t one that’s been in business longer than endurance. So why or how are they still in business? Great Service? Great Reviews?
No, nope but yet just like this company they are rated one of the best in 2022. They’ve been around since 2006. So why isn’t everyone using them? Cause it’s a scam like the rest, go figure.
You will have to get burned once before you learn like most people who can’t resist things that seem to good to be true.
If you have common sense than your never paying for a 3rd party warranty guaranteed
