Service Plans etc. (Canada)

Ah, that makes me feel much better. (and yep, I lurk in the "new posts" section all the time...) Thanks, Doug!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Don't worry, American visitors are always welcome on our threads!

So, if I hear correctly, it doesn't appear to be any difference if I go pay per service vs. prepay.

The only advantage would be, that it will protect me from any price increases.

Did I miss anything?

The service you receive is exactly the same. You get a bit of a discount for paying up front and yes, it would protect you from further price increases.

Another quick question....I read or heard somewhere, that if you get the Prepaid service plan, it includes brake pad and rotor replacement? Is this true? Does the pay as you go service include that?

Happy Holidays!

Reading it over, the extended warranty doesn't cover brakes; however, the extended service plan says it covers "Replacement or repair at the time of inspection of normal maintenance items and wear and tear parts, excluding the Battery and tires"

So apparently yes, brake rotors and pads are covered by the service agreement. That said, I doubt they will be replacing many of them, due to the regenerative braking. As long as they maintain the brakes so they don't seize up the pads should last a very long time.

Thanks all!

Today was my last day to get it...so I decided to take a dive in purchasing a 4 year plan.

My former Cadillac CTS was on it's original pads and rotors after 4 years / 80,000 miles when I traded it in on the Model S. All the dealer ever did was "clean and inspect" at my regular (free) service intervals. With its regenerative braking, I'd be very disappointed if I ever have to have the brakes done on my Tesla.
