Tesla Model S Service Contract: $600/Year, Or Warranty Voided

As a Model S deposit holder (#9883) I think $600/year of forced service contract is WAY too high. I have owned BMW, Audi, Lexus and Infiniti and never had anything like that level of "service cost," particularly in the first 2-3 years! I don't care if they have to truck my car to Fremont or wherever, the actual "service" included is minimal. And as another poster noted, we also now have BOTH the Volt and the Leaf. The Volt is so much more complex than the Model S, and it has needed ZIP service charged in our first 18 months of ownership. Yes, there have been "service recalls," but those were without charge and the provision of a free loaner car for the duration. WAKE UP Please Elon! We love the technology and design, but NOT $600/yr.

Car manufacturers by law cannot invalidate your warranty because you don't use their service. Tesla hasn't got that [link]
