    I didnt think there was an option for extending the warranty in Ireland?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 596 ✭✭✭Gadge


    Google Gemini says you can but I’d be interested to know if any boardsies have done it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 815 ✭✭✭This is it


    I asked when I was deciding between new and used from Tesla and they said an extended warranty wasn't available



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 42,579 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    Nope. Not aware of any cases. Same as any other brand. Must be taken out within the original warranty period.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 815 ✭✭✭This is it


    I wasn't aware there was any extended warranty with Tesla, can you link it?

    As you probably know there’s a separate warranty for the mechanical side of things and the battery & drive unit. Once the mechanical side is close to expiring, you can extend that via subscription called “extended service agreement”:

    Once the battery warranty is close to expiration, you can purchase a one-off extension of 2 years/30k miles :

    https://www.tesla.com/support/battery-extended-service-agreement

    I’m not 100% sure if the latter is offered in Ireland anymore.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 815 ✭✭✭This is it


    Thanks. Tesla rep told me this wasn't available anymore when I was enquiring about a CPO that was still in warranty and would've had the extra 1 year that comes with CPO. Possibly none of that available in Ireland? Or the rep was just wrong.

    For anybody worried about warranty expiry my recommendation is to take your car for its NCT early. Anything they find that's within warranty such as suspension or brakes get on to Tesla to sort before you hit 4 years / 80,000km - that should buy you peace of mind for another year or 2

    The basic Tesla drivetrain warranty covers the battery, inverter and motor(s) for up to 192k for the AWD models so much better than most other makes. I can't see much need for the extended warranty. Wear and tear of suspension is not usually covered in any of the long warranties.

    Bring your car into Tesla immediately prior to the 80k threshold and book it in for an inspection. You'll be advised of anything that's needed. Some of which will/may be covered by your basic warranty. Anything not covered on the basic warranty won't be covered by an extended warranty, so this inspection is key to long term health and peace of mind.

    20% of Tesla Cyber truck sales in Q4 that Musk owned companies 🤔 Nice work when you cab get away with it.

    Robotaxis now operate in Dallas, Houston and Austin. Unsupervised FSD in all 3 cities. Not bad progress given the very first "robotaxi", supervised FSD with Tesla operators in the cars, only started 10 months ago

    Expansion is expected this quarter to Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Las Vegas, all unsupervised. That would be 7 out of the top 20 or so biggest cities in the USA

    Calling it for what it is.

    Tesla's 'Robotaxi' expansion looks like another stock pump before earnings | Electrek https://share.google/z1ttpjMWZpby56gKg

    The man does this pattern and rinses and repeats. Like every time. And folks run out to repeat the news with gusto.

    Still not ready in Austin

    The real tell is what Tesla is not doing. If the company was genuinely confident in its unsupervised driving technology, the logical move would be to scale up operations in Austin — where it has been operating for 10 months — by deploying more cars across the expanded 245-square-mile geofence. Instead, Austin still has only about a dozen unsupervised vehicles and still relies heavily on safety monitors in most rides.

    Tesla has reported 15 crashes to NHTSA since launching in Austin — a crash rate roughly 4x worse than human drivers. Unlike every other autonomous vehicle company in the NHTSA database, Waymo, Zoox, Aurora, Nuro, and Tesla redact the detailed narratives explaining what happened in each crash.

    Scam.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,078 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    What is scam about it? The operation is in its infancy, only started a few months ago. The numbers are tiny. And yes geofenced to tiny areas

    But there are indeed unsupervised FSD robotaxis out there now in 3 large US cities, probably just a few each. Evidence aplenty on youtube

    I guess you will still call it a scam when there are thousands of robotaxis out there in 10 cities in a year or two. You are an expert in the game of goal post moving 😂

    In other news, cybercab production has started this week, with cars without steering wheels or pedals rolling off the production line. But sure, it's all a big scam

    Latest NHTSA report on crashes. Not a single robotaxi crash in almost a year. If you have been in one yourself, that wouldn't surprise you. But I guess almost nobody in this thread has

    It's a scam because the numbers are absurdly tiny. The bookings are next to non existent. They won't publish data and refuse to share information.

    The entire thing is a scam top to bottom because it's not a capable technology. After all this time I'm actually pretty shocked you thing robotaxi is a real concept and not just a scam on investors. Genuinely I am really shocked because you're pretty smart. (I'm not being sarcastic). How does this nonsense have a hold over your ability to read . 🤷‍♂️

    Pure stock pump waffletech



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,078 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    So all those cybercabs Tesla started producing this week will never go on the road? 😉

    I don't know why you want to get into this symantics, look at the data read the article.

    Or don't bother and as usual fall for the gloss.

    What is it about your posting that you actually don't address the key points I raised. You just move the goal post for a lol thanks ? I don't get it.

    Are you suggesting Cybercab production is all a misdirection and the vehicles will all be abandoned or crushed post-manufacture?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 35,672 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    I'm suggesting it's a scam yes and the majority of this won't make the streets .

    Are you suggesting Tesla don't have form in the department of building a vehicle that won't sell ?

    I mean we have a massive glaring example…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,062 ✭✭✭MojoMaker


    We're not talking about whether it sells well or not, but rather whether that whether they have built a factory process and are cranking out vehicles that they don't intend to sell - i.e. ignore or crush?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 35,672 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    If I was an investor I'd be concerned about building vast amounts of unsellable cybertrucks. Then selling a large volume of them to our other company to essentially cook the losses.

    Then running into rolling out another vehicle based project which seems to have tiny volume usage , users can't book it and we get to see no data on, like the competition that we are up against in the space.

    As someone who may not care about reality or data, then I suppose one wouldnt be concerned about any of that . Id just repeat the words of the numerous Tesla booster accounts for twitter.

    Can you read the article there and maybe ponder some of the questions?

    Tesla can sell as many Cybercabs as they want, but they're not a consumer vehicle, so who gives a shít - it's just another step in their journey to getting out of consumer production.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 35,672 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    The point is they won't. It's all just nonsense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,107 ✭✭✭...Ghost...


    Just have to save that comment. Especially the part about robotaxi not being a real concept or capable technology. Just being clear here…I’m assuming you mean vision based tech without lidar redundancy. I expect it is capable with camera based tech and SW changes.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 35,672 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    Camera based driverless cars are a scam, I asked you to bookmark that previously like two weeks ago.

    Will no one respond to the strange points made in the article . If this stuff was so bloody successful, why isn't it expanded in its test areas ? Why is it unavailable most of the week ? Why will they not provide accident information like their direct competitors?

    Let's just gloss over all that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭antseanoifig


    Away from the debate on reality vs scam…

    Any recent experience with insurers for renewal? Been with Aviva on MY, but they've offered a generous €100 bump in renewal…😐️

    Would love to hear any other recent experiences with providers.

    Did you not see the NHTSA latest stats that I clearly put up a bar chart for? Over the last nearly a year ZERO accidents with Tesla robotaxi. Your stats are ancient, based on pre 14.2, which in fairness was not yet suitable for unsupervised FSD, which is why Tesla used safety operators inside the car in all robotaxis back then
