I went to the Tesla Service center today and purchased the extended warranty for $4,250. I had purchased my model S on June 23 so I had until around December 20 (within the first 180 days) to take advantage of the $500 discount after that would be $4750.

I learned a few things in the process. Thought I share with TMC.
For some reason I thought that the extended warranty would be transferable to a new buyer like previous extended warranties I had purchased from Lexus and Toyota.

I was told it was not however, I could get a full refund of the $4250 anytime within the standard warranty. (before the extended warranty is in force)
But if I trade the car in before the extended warranty starts, I will need to make sure that I first apply for the refund.
I was also told that one door handle and a replacement of the 17 inch screen costs more than the extended warranty. So it’s probably not a bad bad bet. If I end up keeping it longer than four years/50,000 miles.
If not only cost me four years of interest on $4,250 which is certainly less than $500.

The warranty is fully transferable to a new owner.

But you can get a full or even pro-rated refund of the ESA if you sell the car. Or transfer the ESA.

Unless you sell it or trade it into a dealer, then the warranty goes away, so in that case, you want to get a refund.

That’s what I thought. Perhaps they were mistaken. I will try to find written confirmation either way.
 
Coped this right off of Tesla site:
Can I transfer my Extended Service Agreement to the new owner if I sell my Tesla vehicle?
Yes, you can transfer the unused portion of your Extended Service Agreement with the sale of your vehicle. The agreement will transfer to the new owner when the vehicle ownership transfer is processed through Tesla. Please refer to the Extended Service Agreement Terms and Conditions for more information.

Can I cancel my Extended Service Agreement? Can I upgrade or downgrade my Tesla Extended Service Agreement?
Yes, you can request to cancel your Extended Service Agreement at any time and receive a prorated refund, based on your claims history. Please refer to the Extended Service Agreement Terms and Conditions for more information.
 
@Daniellane, did the Tesla people say you have to have yearly maintenance in the second 50K miles for the Extended Warranty to be valid?
He did not, however I saw this in one of the FAQs (I pasted in the entire FAQ from the Tesla site)

During the agreement period of the Extended Service Agreement, your coverage may be affected if recommended service is not performed. See the Extended Service Agreement Terms and Conditions for further details.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the New Vehicle Limited Warranty?
Your Model S and X are covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which includes the Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty, the Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”) Limited Warranty, and the Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty.

The Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty covers the repair or replacement necessary to correct defects in the materials or workmanship of any Model S or X parts manufactured or supplied by Tesla that occur under normal use for a period of 4 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km), whichever occurs first.

The SRS Limited Warranty covers the repair or replacement necessary to correct defects in the materials or workmanship of the vehicle’s seat belts or airbag system manufactured or supplied by Tesla that occur under normal use for a period of 5 years or 60,000 miles (100,000 km), whichever occurs first.

The Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty covers the repair or replacement of any malfunctioning or defective Model S or X lithium-ion battery for a period of 8 years or unlimited miles/km, with the exception of the original 60 kWh battery (manufactured before 2015) that is covered for a period of 8 years or 125,000 miles (200,000 km), whichever occurs first. To provide you with even more assurance, the Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty will also cover damage to your vehicle from a battery fire even if it is the result of driver error, subject to certain exclusions.

What is the Tesla Extended Service Agreement?
Extended Service Agreements cover the repair or replacement necessary to correct defects in the materials or workmanship of most parts manufactured or supplied by Tesla during the coverage period, excluding the vehicle’s lithium-ion battery and drive unit, which have their own separate warranty. Coverage is based upon the purchased agreement option and takes effect on the date that your original New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.

Can anyone purchase an Extended Service Agreement?
Owners (excluding 3rd party dealers and vehicles purchased from a 3rd party dealer) with Model S or X vehicles subject to the New Vehicle Limited Warranty which are still within the eligible purchase period can purchase the Extended Service Agreement.

What is the eligible purchase period for Tesla Extended Service Agreements, and what do they cover?
You may purchase the Extended Service Agreement no later than 30 days or 1,000 miles (1,600 km), whichever occurs first, past the expiration of your New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The Extended Service Agreement covers the repair or replacement necessary to correct defects in the materials or workmanship of most parts manufactured or supplied by Tesla during the coverage period, excluding the vehicle’s lithium-ion battery and drive unit, which have their own separate warranty.

If I choose not to service my Tesla vehicle, will this void my warranty or Resale Value Guarantee?
It is highly recommended that you service your Tesla vehicle every 12 months or 12,500 miles (20,000 km), whichever occurs first. If you do not follow this recommendation, your New Vehicle Limited Warranty will not be affected. During the agreement period of the Extended Service Agreement, your coverage may be affected if recommended service is not performed. See the Extended Service Agreement Terms and Conditions for further details. If you are financing your Tesla vehicle through Tesla Financing, you will only be eligible for the full Resale Value Guarantee if your Tesla vehicle is brought in for service per the above recommended timeline.

During my appointment, how will I get around if I need my vehicle?
We want your Tesla Service experience to be convenient and hassle-free. If you are within 15 miles (24 km) of the closest Service Center, a complimentary Valet can be sent out to retrieve your vehicle from your home or office and return it for you when the service is complete, if available. If service on your vehicle will take longer than 4 hours, a Service Loaner will be provided for you, if available. If a Service Loaner is unavailable, a rental car can be arranged.

Do I have to take my vehicle to a Tesla Service Center?
It is always best to bring your vehicle into a Tesla Service Center for any service needs. If you choose to bring your vehicle to a non-Tesla shop for any maintenance or repairs, please be aware that if problems occur, this could affect coverage under your warranty.

Why am I unable to purchase an Extended Service Agreement in my state?
In some states Tesla has not been granted approval by the state to sell our Extended Service Agreement. This is because each state has its own requirements, such as specific licenses or business qualifications, which we are working to acquire.

Does the New Vehicle Limited Warranty transfer to the new owner if I sell my Model S or X?
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty will follow your vehicle and be transferred to the new owner when a vehicle ownership transfer is performed through Tesla.

Can I transfer my Extended Service Agreement to the new owner if I sell my Tesla vehicle?
Yes, you can transfer the unused portion of your Extended Service Agreement with the sale of your vehicle. The agreement will transfer to the new owner when the vehicle ownership transfer is processed through Tesla. Please refer to the Extended Service Agreement Terms and Conditions for more information.

Can Extended Service Agreements be added to the cost of the vehicle when financing Model S or X?
Extended Service Agreements cannot be added to the total cost of your Model S or X, whether you are financing or not. These plans can only be purchased separately.

Can I cancel my Extended Service Agreement? Can I upgrade or downgrade my Tesla Extended Service Agreement?
Yes, you can request to cancel your Extended Service Agreement at any time and receive a prorated refund, based on your claims history. Please refer to the Extended Service Agreement Terms and Conditions for more information.

You cannot downgrade or upgrade your Extended Service Agreement once you have purchased.
 
Are we talking about the extended warranty or extended service plan? The original post says the OP purchased an extended warranty for $500 of but the copied text from the Tesla site in post #4 tasks about extended service agreement. Am i missing something?

Extended Service Agreement is Extended Warranty. That's how Tesla named it. If you want the Annual Service thing, it is called the Maintenance Plan. And it is not for $500. It is $500 cheaper... if you buy the Agreement within 180 days of the vehicle purchase, you saved $500.
 
Talked to the same Tesla Representative who did the paperwork this morning to clarify terms and also found out that there is a $200 per visit fee. He explained that it used to be $200 per repair. He sited this example:
If you had an issue with 2 door handles it would have cost $400 under the previous terms. Now, as long as you get them repaired in the same visit, it’s $200.
So, it will make sense to wait until multiple issues are present before visiting the service center, assuming their are no critical issues.
I assume, but am not sure the terms vary with respect to his fee depending on when you either purchased the vehicle or the extended warranty.

Still waiting for the actual terms of conditions to appear in my MyTesla account documents section.

The Vehicle Extended Service Agreement I purchased last month never appeared in the MyTesla Account Docs Section.
I called Customer Service today. I was told that they do not upload these agreements to the MyTeska Account.
I asked her to email it to me and she did so.
I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
I have copied & pasted the text from the 9 page agreement below for anyone who may be interested:
