That being said, I did get it at 35K miles from this site and don't regret it.

If I put the money I paid in any account, it wouldn't pay to replace an inverter or ECU or battery pack if I needed to replace one.

The truth lies in statistics, not anecdotes. Extended warranties make money for the seller, not the buyer. But since you asked: I did not buy one and do not regret it.
