Windshield - absolutely. I was thinking of getting it but procrastinated…literally got my first windshield incident at 25K miles. I had to pay $500 out of pocket plus $250 for a rental.
The tire and wheel protection already paid for itself. I got a bolt in my tire and they placed a loaner on my vehicle within the hour I call them. Set up a service appointment and had to pay a $25 deductible. Worth it for me.
I didn\u2019t get many clean the camera warnings, but I could see the haze and would save footage from the camera when I thought haze would be a problem and I could see flashes of light completely block the camera. I cleaned the windshield and it seems like FSD is so much more confident overall and I trust it a lot more.
From my experience it was our old Model S. Changed wiper blades,washer fluids,air in the tyres and one brake fluid flush in our 2 years of ownership.
But what about other maintenance costs, such as brakes and tires? Obviously EVs don’t have fluid changes. But don’t the tires cost more and wear out quicker on the Tesla due to the extra weight and power?
This is based in truth as I know that about 50% of model y/3 fail in the first inspection that is mandatory for example in Finland for every car that is going to be 4 years old. The problem is the bushings in the rear control arms.
I just dropped 1500 bucks on a new windshield. 18k miles on car. Painful. Get the protection.
Tires are a joke! I had a flat on a 2026 Juniper model and they gave me a reservation for three weeks out! I went to a discount tire bought their road hazard warranty for three years for $29 a tire done ✅ canceled my Tesla one plus I get faster service
To be fair Tesla brakes are not great. Combined with regen? Sure it’s adequate, but drive a German vehicle and see what brakes are about.
I had a Tesla Model X for two years. It was constantly in for service. Broken AC, sensors, control arms, etc. The screen would reset while driving.
