Used Model S Purchase Questions

[HillClimb]

Hello, so I was wondering if anyone has ever purchased a Model S private party and then wanted to purchase a warranty. I know Tesla includes a 4/50,000 on most pre-owned, but is there the option of a warranty extension on a privately purchased car or must I buy from Tesla to get that. I know of the service plans but those are not really a warranty correct?
Thanks

...I know of the service plans but those are not really a warranty correct?...

Correct.

Service Plans are annual inspection/maintenance plans which are now no longer sold to those who have not bought them.

Extended Service Agreement or ESA is equivalent to an extended warranty.

...is there the option of a warranty extension on a privately purchased car...

Yes!

Ok thanks so it must be from another owner directly?

If you buy from a dealer you can still buy a 3rd party warranty like X-Care. https://www.xcelerateauto.com/x-care/

They mirror Tesla's terms.
