Also, does anyone actually see the option to purchase the pre-paid service plan on their My Tesla page? I don't see it on mine.

...option to purchase the pre-paid service plan on their My Tesla page...
It is clear that pricing for Service Plans and Extended Service Agreements has not been decided for Model X so you won't see an option to purchase them on your page until then.
Would you speculate that prices for Model X will be 1) equal, 2) less than or 3) more than current ones for Model S?
Since then the requirement of having annual service for warranty work has been dropped. The only benefit of the ESA at this point is the slight savings by pre-paying.
Now with ~50K miles on my MS my last pre-paid service will be used. I don't plan on buying four more years of pre-paid service. I will just bring in the vehicle every 12-15K miles for service and pay the going service rate. Same for MX. Plan on just paying for yearly service (non-warranty service) without an ESA.
The extended warranty is a separate issue.
So the ESA doesn't cover air suspension on the S?
(Not covered) Maintenance/Parts, including but not limited to the following:
o Parts and normal or expendable maintenance items and procedures such as annual service and diagnostics checks, brake pads/linings, brake rotor, suspension alignment, wheel balancing, hoses, air conditioning lines, hoses or connections, Battery testing, fluid changes, appearance care (such as cleaning and polishing), filters and wiper blades/inserts; and
o Other maintenance services and parts described in Tesla’s maintenance schedule for the covered Vehicle;
• Other Parts not covered: o Bright metal, sheet metal, bumpers, ornamentation moldings, carpet, upholstery, paint, shock absorbers, 12V battery, battery cables, lenses, light bulbs, sealed beams, glass (e.g., windshield), wheels, interior trim, body seals and gaskets (e.g., weather stripping); and o Removable soft tops, removable hard tops, glass, plastic, framing, cables, or seals;]
Control arm bushings: ~$TBD
I include the last entry just as a reminder, as iirc, the ESA does not cover suspension parts.
...leasing instead of buying?
I called the Fremont SC and they confirmed that there's no prepaid option being offered yet. They said not to worry about the 60 day limit and there would likely be a notification for when the prepaid option was offered.
Nowhere in the agreement do I see suspension parts, even bushings, excluded:

So this is the prepaid service plan not the ESA The Extended Service Agreement (ESA) is what is normally called the "extended warranty" Do they have a price for the ESA?
@Gotta Very interesting - so it's 5% more than the S, is that right? My S was $500/year for the annual maintenance plan when I bought it in 2013.
The difference here may be they can sell the prepaid maintenance because, as others noted, that's a fixed amount of coverage/work and they know the costs. There are people who have 12,000+ miles on their X, so TM has to figure that out ASAP.
We are far off from entering the fourth year of ownership for anyone. The part I am more concerned about is the extended warranty for years 4-8.
