A New Era for Tesla Owners in Canada
Tesla has officially rolled out its extended warranty program in Canada, giving drivers a flexible monthly plan to protect their vehicles. The new service mirrors the option launched in the United States earlier this year, allowing Canadian customers to extend coverage without paying a large lump sum upfront. For owners seeking peace of mind beyond their original warranty, this subscription-based model could prove a game-changer.
Flexible Coverage Tailored to Owners
Tesla’s Extended Service Agreement (ESA) covers vehicles for up to four years or 80,000 kilometres, whichever milestone arrives first. Instead of a fixed two-year contract, drivers can now pay monthly, starting coverage as soon as their standard warranty ends.
Pricing depends on the model:
Model S – C$170 per month
Model 3 – C$70 per month
Model X – C$205 per month
Model Y – C$80 per month
Cybertruck – not yet available
Customers who keep the plan for the full term pay a maximum of C$3,840 for a Model Y, spreading costs evenly over time. Importantly, owners can cancel anytime, though once cancelled, they cannot re-enroll later.
What’s Covered Under the Plan
The ESA is designed to shield owners from costly mechanical or electrical repairs. Tesla covers most parts it manufactures or supplies, with each service visit carrying a C$135 deductible. This makes the plan especially valuable for major component failures that could otherwise lead to significant repair bills.
What’s Not Included in the Coverage
Like most extended warranties, the ESA excludes certain items. It does not cover:
The 12V battery
Bodywork or paint repairs
Routine maintenance parts like brake pads, tires, and wiper blades
Issues from accidents, modifications, or normal wear and tear
Battery and Drive Unit warranties remain separate, so those core components continue to receive their original long-term protection.
How Canadian Owners Can Enroll
Enrolling is simple and takes only a few minutes through the Tesla app. Owners just need to:
Open the app and head to Upgrades > Service Plans > Extended Service Agreement.
Review monthly pricing and terms.
Tap Subscribe and confirm the payment method.
Coverage begins immediately once the subscription starts, ensuring there is no gap in protection.
Why This Plan Matters for Canadian Drivers
Extended warranties have always divided opinion among car buyers. However, Tesla’s monthly approach adds flexibility that traditional programs lack. Owners can continue as long as they want or cancel once they feel comfortable without extra coverage.
For Canadian drivers—especially those far from Tesla Service Centres—the program provides cost-effective access to certified technicians and genuine parts. It helps drivers avoid hefty repair bills and keeps vehicles in peak condition.
