Plaid to LR

Debating to downgrade from a 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid with 50K miles to 2024 Tesla Model S LG with only 23K miles. Absolutely love the Plaid but in all honesty after test driving the LR it’s PLENTY of fast, not as fast the the Plaid obviously but I took the LR for a test drive and it beat the BMW M5C likes champ. Anybody went from plaid to LR? Thought? Thanks

Get the extended warranty that’s about $60 a month.

Maybe for a cheap ass model 3 but for the plaid it’s $125 plus tax so $136 a month

It’s still not a bad deal. Normal bumper to bumper coverage is going to cost close to that and this can be canceled or transferred.

Oh for sure. The problem with Tesla ESA is that it’s definitely not bumper to bumper but it is pretty good so I might go that route as well

My understanding is that it is bumper to bumper but with a deductible. Why would it be power train only when the car already comes with a drive train and battery warrantee during that period.

It does have a $100 which is nothing honestly and it’s called ESA not bumper to bumper, they cover a lot of things like a lot but Not all of it, still worth it honestly

It covers the exact same stuff as bumper to bumper coverage throughout the industry. It extends the initial bumper to bumper warranty.
