Roadside assistance!

[Breakfast]

Sorry, I should know this with all of the forum surfing that I have been doing recently.

Is some form of roadside assistance / breakdown cover included with a M3?

Thanks

Yes, with Tesla you get Roadside Assistance for the first four years (or 50,000 miles) for Warrantable breakdowns. Tesla will also transport your car up to 500 miles to the nearest service centre for repairs if needed.

Looking at this myself - from browsing this forum, the consensus seems to be it is worth adding something like AA/RAC, or via your insurance.

Most lease deals include full breakdown cover too

“Warrantable breakdowns” is the critical point to note.

It’s not for recovering you if you get a blowout or something that isn’t attributable to a catastrophic failure.

Have seen a few instances on the Facebook group of people getting miffed because they thought (or were told) it was a full fat breakdown service.

Zen Lease Terms: Breakdown recovery limited to a 10 mile tow.

It does say up to 50 mile car transport following a flat tire is included.

However, it's definitely not as good as cover available elsewhere.

Anyone know who they use? Previously I've always found it to be the AA (hidden underneath the car brand) with new cars.

Having read what's included, I think I'll keep my own breakdown cover going.

Worth noting that when we had a tyre problem over the Xmas break, Tesla couldn't help - closed for Christmas and I got the impression same for weekends too. Thankfully our was a non issue in the end and we didn't need any recovery, but just needed to know we could get a replacement tyre prior to a long trip couple of days later. Local tyre service sorted in the end (cosmetic) and without the need to order anything in but it just showed us that at the wrong time, wrong place we could have been up for major inconvenience / cancelled trip.
