I have about 6k miles left on the CPO warranty of the 90D that I purchased last year. The wife and I were debating moving from the R1T reservation to an R1S reservation that she could use instead, with me keeping it longer.Yeah, that's yet another way Tesla did 85kWh battery owners dirty. The charge throttling—even on rarely fast-charged batteries—is almost a crime. All so they can save some money and not replace battery packs under warranty.
We're coming up on the end of year 7 of our warranty, and I'm getting pretty nervous having this car for another year (or longer).
Long story short - no, no I don't think I will.
An out of warranty Model S is a bad place to be. That single point of service (pretty much) is a virtual death sentence to your wallet if you need something repaired. Russian roulette of the wallet. Ironically, I think my insurance company knows that in general with the Model S as the R1T insurance charge is less than half of Tesla.
