M3 Performance just hit 50k miles. No more basic warranty! 😳

I hope mine is as reliable as most of them seem to be. No major issues so far.

For $50/month.. it was a no brainer 😂

Maj0r_Sarcasm 2025-12-04 20:34

No option for extended warranty here in the UK.

Worried_Produce_1046 2025-12-04 20:35

Wow!!

DelosHost 2025-12-04 23:51

70k here. Drives and looks like new.

Itchy_Platypus4085 2025-12-05 01:30

Remind me how many months can you extend it for?

Worried_Produce_1046 2025-12-05 01:31

4 years / 50k miles additional

Bbronson123 2025-12-05 02:31

I always thought it was only for the original 50,000 miles even with the ESA. That’s cool if it stacks and you can go to 100,000 miles with the bumper to bumper for only $600/year. Great deal.

Just broke 112k miles on my 2020 m3, battery is in tip top shape. I think you'll find theres a lot of high mileage teslas out there that will continue working fine for many many years to come.

At least you have a good build)

strafinjr 2025-12-05 13:04

What year is it? Before it ended were you able to get anything “fixed” or replaced to keep things in shape under warranty? So far I was able to get both headlights replaced and the spoiler for free

Maj0r_Sarcasm 2025-12-05 13:38

I have a service request in at the moment for headlights! I requested it just before the 50k was hit. I've also had my spoiler replaced. My car is a 2022.

70k on my 2019 M3P Love this car- No major issues outside of new suspension bushings

Civil_Ad6237 2025-12-05 19:00

Worth getting extended warranty?

Hushed_Rl 2025-12-06 00:34

Where do you buy it? I don’t see it anywhere in the app.

Welcome to the club!

Worried_Produce_1046 2025-12-06 01:05

Software updates, if they make it available to you

AlbieriMS 2025-12-06 01:52

I never had a monthly option.

Worried_Produce_1046 2025-12-06 01:59

I got the offer about 90 days after buying the car.

Maj0r_Sarcasm 2025-12-06 07:25

Not available in the UK

sethjumps 2025-12-06 12:39

I'm at 162k on my 2019 M3. Bought it used with 47k, only issue so far was with the driver seat sensor that was replaced for about $100 (home service)

yessuz 2025-12-06 13:51

My LR is a year out of basic warranty...

OutlandishnessNo5636 2025-12-07 12:30

Good luck

DarthStevis 2025-12-08 02:25

Thought yall were metric users

Maj0r_Sarcasm 2025-12-08 06:42

In the UK? We're a bit of a mix. Road signs are in miles. We measure stuff in whatever's convenient. I can work in meters or feet, cm or inches. I prefer metric personally.

DarthStevis 2025-12-08 06:43

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing

chef_P88 2025-12-09 04:49

I couldn’t convince myself to get this. What’s the point?

Worried_Produce_1046 2025-12-09 05:15

WhTs the point of ANY insurance?? 🤦‍♂️

chef_P88 2025-12-09 05:18

Welp. I’m still left wondering soooo can you elaborate?

Worried_Produce_1046 2025-12-09 05:23

When I bought the car from the Mercedes dealership here in Florida back in May of 25, it came with a 30 day bumper to bumper warranty, luckily! The first few days i could tell something wasn't right, I took it in to tesla here in tampa and they said it needed a complete new rear suspension, that ran $3800, clearwater of Mercedes footed that bill.... Whether Tesla's Extended Service Agreement (ESA) is worth it depends on your model, driving habits, and risk tolerance, but it offers peace of mind for potential non-drivetrain issues (touchscreen, HVAC, suspension) after basic warranty ends, potentially saving money on costly repairs, especially for Model S/X or if you keep the car long-term, though some find it a gamble against high upfront costs for uncertain payouts.  Factors to Consider Model Reliability: Model 3/Y are generally more reliable, making the ESA less critical, while Model S/X have known potential issues (like falcon doors, suspension) where it might be more valuable. Coverage Gaps: The ESA covers components like the touchscreen, computer, heat pump, and suspension after the 4-year/50k-mile basic warranty, as the battery/drivetrain has a separate, longer warranty. Cost vs. Risk: It's a bet; you pay upfront (e.g., $1,800-$3,500 for a few years) for potential savings on big repairs (e.g., $3,000+), but you might never use it. Time vs. Mileage: For low-mileage drivers, the time-based failure of components (like electronics) might make the ESA more appealing as the basic warranty expires. Peace of Mind: For many, the ESA provides security against unexpected tech or electronic failures, which EVs still experience.  When It Might Be Worth It Keeping the car long-term past the basic warranty. Driving a Model S or X, known for potentially pricier repairs. Experiencing issues with time-based components (HVAC, screens) after 4 years. Wanting protection against expensive non-drivetrain failures.  When It Might Not Be High driving volume means you might hit mileage limits quickly without needing it. Belief in EV reliability, as some owners report few issues. Preferring to self-insure, saving the upfront cost and paying for repairs as they come.  Verdict: It's a personal financial decision, but for many, the peace of mind and potential savings on specific components make it a reasonable "gamble," especially for higher-end models or long-term ownership, though you pay for that security upfront.

Wow. That’s an amazing description. Thanks for sharing!
