Really glad I found this extended warranty as Tesla doesn't allow ESA for 2021+ cars. Even though my vehicle only has 7k miles on the clock for 3k can get a 10 year warranty which I think would be great for resale value if nothing else. If you think this is expensive you have no idea how much other warranties cost...

"Easy to work with. Both from an end user and from Tesla's end per the Supervising tech. Called XCare gave them my list of issues, scheduled appointment via app. Took vehicle in. Tesla determined faults, sent estimate and received approval same day. Tesla did repairs. Notified XCare and received corporate CC number, remaining balance due was $100. No issues."

"If you are looking to buy a Tesla I highly recommend using Xcelerate Auto as your third-party. I had the pleasure of working with Deb specifically. During the slow months of waiting for my Tesla, Deb always answered my questions or concerns right away. She kept me in the loop and never left me in the dark and was very honest and upfront. It can be very frustrating trying to get into contact with Tesla, however she definitely helped me get a sooner delivery date, and got the answers I needed!"

"DEB WAS AMAZING! By far the best car buying experience I’ve had in my life. Deb went above and beyond to make the purchase of my new vehicle a great experience. She was very transparent and upfront with all costs and the process. I would give 10 Stars if I could. Thank you Deb and Xcelerate Auto for helping me lease my Dream Car!"

"I bought an XCare warranty for my Tesla. The guys were great. Buying was easy, as expected. I had no problems with claims. Had two door issues with my Model X and both times I just emailed the claims team, sent them the invoice, and they paid. I have to admit I always have some trepidation dealing with insurance companies but they were very communicative and helpful. Good product, good people, good service."

All About XCare - The Only EV Extended Warranty
We reinvented the Warranty industry, by designing the first and only Extended Warranty for Electric Vehicles, and created a claims process specially designed for the “direct-to-service” model (like Tesla Service) by walking backwards from the ideal customer experience.
XCare is Service Coverage you can count on, for any EV.
How it works in 4 easy steps:
1 - Enter your vehicle info here
2 - Select which type of coverage you would like to purchase
3 - Enter your contract details
4 - Purchase your coverage
Frequently Asked Questions Before You’re an XCare Member
For most owners – YES! You’ve got insurance coverage for your house, your vehicle and your medical needs… so why wouldn’t you protect your electric car against long-term issues as it gets older?
An EV extended warranty like XCare gives EV owners peace of mind that their car’s major mechanical or electrical systems are protected from breakdown – leaving them to focus on more important concerns.
XCare is a first-of-its-kind extended warranty program designed specifically for the needs and wants of EV owners. In 2019 we began by focusing on Tesla models; now we offer XCare on just about any new or used electric vehicle out there.
XCare EV Premium covers just about everything on your EV except for a few things:
1.) Maintenance items (like the 12-volt battery, wheels and tires)
2.) Cosmetic components (like the body panels, bumpers, paint, glass, etc).
3.) external charging cords/cables or accessories
The HV battery may also be covered if your vehicle is within 7 years of age, and under 100,000 miles at time of XCare purchase. To see if you qualify, simply use the tool at the top of this page, enter your vehicle details and the description will state if your vehicle is eligible. And for a component-by-component breakdown of what’s covered and not covered, see this Sample XCare EV Premium Contract
Available for Tesla owners only, the XCare Battery & Drive Unit only applies to the Battery & Drive Unit. If you want to cover your entire Tesla, XCare Premium would be the way to go.
Yes! If your vehicle is 7 years old or newer and under 100,000 miles then your battery and drive unit should be included in the coverage.
To know for sure, simply provide your vehicle details at the top of this page.
Even if your vehicle doesn’t qualify for Battery & Drive Unit coverage, XCare Premium still makes sense, since it covers hundreds of key components on your EV.
Not immediately. There’s a 30-day grace period before XCare goes into effect. And, of course, any issues that occurred before buying XCare or during the 30-day grace period wouldn’t be covered.
Most likely. Unlike some other warranty programs, we don’t care where you purchased your EV, if you bought it used or if it’s still under factory warranty. You can probably add an XCare plan to your lease.
There are a few exceptions:
• Vehicles with a salvage title
• A lemon/manufacturer buyback
• If you use your vehicle for rental/Turo (but rideshare driving is just fine)
If you have a question, please reach out.
Believe it or not, no. Most people are surprised to learn that it’s cheaper to purchase an 8 or 10-year XCare warranty for a new EV vs adding a 4 or 6-year plan when your vehicle is already 4 years old and your original warranty has run out.
Plus, XCare usually improves your resale value. If you end up selling your vehicle, you can transfer XCare to any new owner (or you can cancel for a pro-rated refund for the unused portion).
Most EVs have two different warranty lengths: one for bumper-to-bumper coverage (which is usually 4 years/50,000 miles from the original in-service date) and one specifically for the Battery and Drive Unit ( usually 8 years or 10 years from the original in-service date).
To see what your standard limited vehicle warranty is, please see your owner’s manual or enter your vehicle details in our tool above.
If you’re a Tesla owner, simply go into your mobile app, scroll to the bottom and select “Specs & Warranty”. That will show how much of your original warranty you have left. But remember: it’s less expensive to add an XCare plan when your EV is newer – even if it’s still under warranty.
Pretty much…yes, although XCare was designed to work around Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid service, you can also take it to any ASC-certified mechanic or facility. Your EV’s service location doesn’t change under XCare. You choose the service location; XCare pays the bills.
You can transfer XCare to any new owner for $50. Most members choose this option since XCare improves the resale value of the vehicle and gives potential buyers peace of mind, or… you can cancel XCare and get a pro-rated refund for the un-used portion of the warranty.
In almost every case, an XCare member is better off selling their vehicle with XCare versus getting pro-rated refund. They usually come out with more money in the end.
Of course. If you sold your EV, traded it in, donated it, totaled it or simply no longer want the coverage any longer, we will issue you a refund for the un-used portion of the warranty. But keep in mind: an extended warranty gives potential buyers confidence in your vehicle. In most cases, it improves the resale value. And we make it easy to transfer XCare protection to the next owner.

This is probably the #1 question from our members, but it’s a complicated one to answer for any particular repair. It depends on the failed component, what caused the issue, etc.
If you have a question or concern, call our Customer Success line at 1-877-302-1715 or email us at xcare@xcelerateauto.com.
Not immediately. There’s a 30-day grace period before XCare goes into effect. And, of course, any issues that occurred before buying XCare or during the 30-day grace period wouldn’t be covered.
We would always prefer to pay the service center directly, but you do have the option for reimbursement.
Once you’ve forwarded the repair order to your XCare Claims rep, and the service is complete, we’ll pay the service advisor. If your service center prefers you pay the bill, then we’ll reimburse you, minus any deductible.
That depends on when you bought it…
If you’re a newer XCare member, after 7/10/2023, the Battery & Drive Unit is already covered.
If you purchased XCare prior to 7/10/2023, your coverage doesn’t include Battery & Drive Unit – and the pricing at the time reflected that.
If you’d like to add Battery & Drive Unit to your existing coverage, please reach out to our team at xcare@xcelerateauto.com.
