There's a debate w.r.t to the maintenance plan, but the extended warranty is undoubtedly worth it. Got my plans today View attachment 339486
I asked about this on my model 3 delivery and they said they don't offer it for my car.
Thought it was odd.
Teslas don't require any routine maintenance so no need for maintenance plan.
Extended warranty is usually an expensive insurance. It would be unusual for anything to fail after normal warranty expires. These cars are simple mechanically compared to ICE cars.
Tesla has had a few widely publicized issues with some of its new cars. (12v battery, drive train noise, door handles, MX doors).In theory, yes.
In practice, and especially with Tesla QC, no.
Like what?My only concern with X is the FWD, I can see a multitude of issues in higher mileage cars.
A yearly maintenance is recommended by Tesla, but I wouldn't prepay it. On a Model X, I'd be tempted to buy the extended warranty. I doubt that the Model X will prove as reliable as the Model S. Time will tell.
Like failing gears in the lift mechanism, and the seals that prevent water intrusion.Like what?
I've never had a door seal fail on any car.Like failing gears in the lift mechanism, and the seals that prevent water intrusion.

These have all been fixed under warranty and production changes made so you just don't hear about them any more.
Model 3 has been good in that the biggest problems seem to be rushed/confusing delivery and a few people are outraged about panel gaps and "paint".
I really think that the long term reliability of these cars will be good so I'd only purchase a long term warranty if you felt the peace of mind was important. For most people, it will be expensive peace of mind. ICE cars have thousands more moving parts in the engine, emission control and fuel systems, transmission and these regularly break down and wear out leading to high maintenance costs beyond 100,000 miles and to the point where after 150,000 to 200,000 miles they need to be junked. Teslas just have an electric motor (on moving part, two bearings) and a few gears. In industrial use these things last decades with high duty cycles. I think we can expect the car to easily last 500,000 to a million miles with very few repairs.
Also, Teslas don't require routine maintenance. No oil change, tune ups, transmission fluid, cooling system antifreeze, etc. like ICE cars.
Like what?Wow! I certainly hope so, but doubt it can happen. A lot of things can wear out.
