X-Cares Response to that came in pretty quickly:
I get the pushback, but that's not how contracts work. They aren't frozen at signing. A company's own statements and conduct after the fact can modify, waive, or add to the deal. And this wasn't some random person on a forum sharing an opinion...
After some careful thought, and searching of the forum here...
I responded to that persons email with:
I mean, you can say that, but at the end of the day, contract is law...

Thats a good refernce point..
My 2024 R1S Quad for a -0- deductible, and with just shy of 31k miles is... I have 30 months left of factory warranty.
And with a $100
This is where the -0- deductible makes sense, at least for me. I have had my truck in for service around 4 times in the last...
I am considering getting the X-Care in about 2 years. Want to let my factory warranty get to about 55k miles before I decide... Assuming some Colorado hail storm doesnt take it out first!
For reference if anyone is interested...
