Canadians should be given free Teslas to make up for having to deal with ManChild Trudeau.

I suppose if you’re talking post 8 year, unlimited mileage warranty, then yes, your trust in the quality and longevity of those parts given most drive units were replaced already with a newer generation version, and battery degradation on average points to me getting at least 300,000 miles....I’d gladly spend $10k to replace my traction battery in 20 years.
Used S85 with AP1 right now...$45k.
If I don’t spend $40k more in repairs over the next 20 years I’ve saved big over buying a new one.
Total cost of ownership wins. Most people can’t keep a car long enough to pay off the loan, so TCO is not a factor for them IMHO.

No X's though. And I was told they are not reducing the prices unless miles are added to them.
I guess I will wait till next quarter.
They added a few. I am waiting until q1 when x100 will come back from their 2 year lease
I can't seem to get a call back from their call center or any luck. Really inefficient process. Submitted web form. Nothing. Called call center, didn't know what to do. Called local store, they took down my info for a call back, never got one. Called call center, they took down my info for a call back. Not sure how they sell cars.
Anyone have a good CPO contact, preferably in the bay area who is still around? Thanks!

I would recommend going into a store if you can, this is actually the worst time to buy a Tesla, everyone is so busy with end of the quarter push.
Tell me about I literally had to call 6 times to try to get my delivery specialist to answer. They ste retarded busy. When the standard model 3 drops GG.

No Tesla produced "not counting Roadsters" is out of battery or drivetrain warranty yet. I have one of the first units that that's going to happen to I have a 2012 my battery and drivetrain warranty will end in 2020.

Really wasn't referring to the battery or drivetrain. I personally would not want to own a Model X out of warranty. But that's just me.

Drive unit is covered for 8 years unlimited miles. There isn’t a model S on the road that isn’t covered today. The 2012’s don’t lose coverage until 2020 at the earliest.
If you are handy the door handles can be fixed for $20 in parts. (Personally done it twice). Other big expense might be the screen or air suspension components. Tesla has been very suppportive of the product and even addressed known issues with no cost recalls. (Example is the steering gear box bolts). I’m on my third Model S with over 75,000 miles on mine now. It’s been bullet proof after a couple door handle upgrades costing me my time and a soldering gun to fix and a $3 paddle/pivot gear.
My VW by comparison was costing me $2500 a quarter to keep up with maintenance and issues and it was just a POS compared to the S.
Actually not entirely true, the S60's only have 125,000 mile warranty (but same 8 year), so there could be some that are now out of warranty on the mileage.
I believe it was retroactively converted to unlimited mileage for S60s as well
Infinite Mile Warranty
Only the 85kWh - specifically states this in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty:
Your vehicle’s Battery and Drive Unit are covered under this Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty for a period of 8 years, 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 comes first.
