This was a lot easier with the Active E, however, with the Model S, Tesla comes out to the office to pick up my car for the service, so I get it close and let the valet drive the car to the Service Center.<\/p>\n<p>What is involved with the 25,000 mile (or two year service).  Apparently more than the 12,500 mile\/one year service.  Tesla picked up the car earlier today.  When I scheduled the appointment, I was advised that more things are done on the 25,000 mile than the 12,500 mile service, so I was prepared for the possibility that our car would spend the night at the Service Center.  Aside from this normal service, I had a weird sound happen with the car about four to six weeks ago that I felt I can wait for the 25,000 mile service to have it taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, it&#8217;s a good thing that the car has an &#8220;unlimited&#8221; mile warranty on the drive train.  Apparently the noise that I noticed in the car was a drive train error that requires Tesla to swap out the drive train and was given a late tomorrow estimate.  I have an early dinner scheduled that may push the delivery of our Model S back another day, but it&#8217;s interesting to hear that Tesla chose to replace the drive train.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to get more information when our Model S is returned to us.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s impressive to have Tesla make such a major component repair be approximately 24 hours for the work.  I remember when similar challenges were occurring with the Active E community that many Electronauts had to wait a week or longer.<\/p>\n<p>This repair just makes me think of things that Tesla doesn&#8217;t cover&#8230;  <a href=\"http:\/\/pascual.co\/ActiveE\/2014\/09\/battery-degradation-and-teslas-warranty\/\">Like a battery degradation warranty?
