I tried to sign up and entered all of my info, chose a package then got an email to approve access to the car remotely to inspect. I approved this and then never heard from them again! Several days went by and after no contact I removed their access to the car. I dont know if they ever scanned the car or not. Very strange. I ended up selling the car anyway as it did not meet my needs in winter.

Hi Josh, I am the Head of Business and Customer Service, and I sincerely apologize for the silence you experienced. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. It sounds like there was a technical disconnect after the remote access was granted, and I’ve asked my engineering team to investigate why our follow-up communication wasn't triggered. Even though you’ve moved on from the vehicle, I’d appreciate the chance to look into your account and make this right. Let us know.

Amber doesn't care
Really wanted to give them a good review. But unfortunately their actions is now causing me me to do the direct opposite. They are very nice people, good costumer service, and tries to be courteous and all. However the issue with them. Is they have alot of growing up to do. They are like a small bird that doesn't know how to fly. Afraid of everything other than trying to take people's money. They have a diagnostic tool which is supposed to tell them about the health of your vehicle. But they use this tool to actually discriminate against it.
I bought a 2018 Tesla Model S 75D barley 45k miles on it. No accidents, garage kept, one owner, any and all maintenance always done and battery and drive unit warranty still active. They did a remote diagnostic and denied my car. Saying that they found a random one time out of nowhere isolation code. That never appeared again in all their assement. They found a door handle issue. Which I recalberated and is fixed and a airbag light. Which was because I had my seats skin color changed out. I even talked with my local Tesla service. Who ran a diagnostic and told me there is no such isolation codes or anything popping up. They also said that these cars are basically computers on wheels and codes can pop up here and there. Which is fine as long as that code is not constant. I told amber care this and they came back to approve the coverage under the condition. That ANY and ALL HV Components be excluded from coverage. Their explanation was they are scared that if that code came up that at some point in the car's coverage it may cause some issue. I told them first that is not a pre-existing condition and also something that might happen in future is the very REASON I am buying a coverage. I seriously don't know how they are in business. They are improperly using this diagnostic tool and don't fully understand what a pre-existing condition is. They are basically looking for a used car that is new. Issue is when they run the diagnostic on your car. They will find some random code and then try to either exclude major components which they STATE THE COVER or they will keep talking about how seriously unhealthy your car is to devalue your vehicle and waste your time as they decline you. This company may at some point get better. But definitely at this point they can't compete with other warranties. They are just too small, too afraid, too inexperienced and too new. I would look else where.
Amber thanks for your reply. I don't appreciate that you excluded certain things in the explanation. Folks this is how smoke and mirrors occur. You thinking taking some part of context and omitting other things is honorable thing to do? Well here is the whole text I received from you guys. Also you to say those codes indicate that an issue might occur in the future. Are you HEARING YOURSELF??? This is the very reason someone gets a warranty cause something that hasn't happened might happen in the future. You guys make no sense seriously. Also you ok with making me pay FULL PRICE even when your not giving me all the coverage. Never did you say based on these exclusions we can discount your price. Since we choose not to give you full bumber to bumber coverage minus battery component. In fact what you did say is HIT THE ROAD. Folks here is their actual text to me.
Hi Abraham, this is Jun.
I appreciate your patience. The following components would be excluded from your coverage: Cabin Heater, AC Compressor, Junction Boxes, HV Cabling, and other HV components.
Additionally, we would need to ensure the airbags are fixed. Given these exclusions, I would recommend exploring alternative programs like Xccelerate, which may offer full coverage to better meet your needs.
Apologies for any inconvenience, and I’m sorry we aren’t able to assist further. Please let me know if you have any questions.
That is what they sent me. And in their explanation you see how they conveniently left out. OTHER HV COMPONENTS. If they are willing to twist even their own wording. How reliable are they in keeping any word they say. So disappointed.

Dear Abe,
Thank you for providing your feedback and sharing your concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify our diagnostic and underwriting process, as our goal is always to provide transparency and help Tesla owners make informed decisions about their vehicle coverage.
Our underwriting process utilizes advanced AI diagnostic tooling in combination with a manual review by a Tesla diagnostic veteran with over 10 years of experience. This approach allows us to assess the overall health of your vehicle, including historical alerts that, even if not currently present, indicate potential future concerns.
During the complimentary diagnostic, we identified a high-voltage isolation alert (BMS_a142_SW_Isolation_Degradation) that occurred on January 27 at 11:51 AM. While the alert has not reoccurred, low isolation suggests a high-voltage short to ground/chassis, which is a serious concern likely to resurface over time. Additionally, we noted an airbag alert (GTW_w218_airbagIndicator) and even offered to collaborate with your preferred mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue. Our technician also informed you of a right rear door handle alert (GTW_a396_prHndFault, HANDLE_FAULT_UNCALIBRATED), which was successfully resolved through calibration.
To accommodate your needs, we provided an AmberCare Basics coverage option at $94 per month, excluding only components potentially related to the alerts we identified such as the airbags, cabin heater, battery coolant heater, AC compressor, junction boxes, and HV cabling. However, this plan still covers a wide range of critical vehicle systems, including the media control unit, charging system, autopilot cameras, and body controllers—offering significant value and protection. Beyond that, upon repair of the airbag and isolation faults, these exclusions would be removed, allowing for even broader coverage.
The purpose of our diagnostic is not to deny coverage but to assess risk accurately and ensure we can responsibly underwrite each vehicle. We strive to educate owners on potential issues and provide fair coverage options without overextending risk—allowing us to continue offering affordable plans to customers like yourself.
We understand this may not be the outcome you hoped for, but we remain committed to supporting you and ensuring you have the necessary insights to make the best decision for your vehicle. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss alternative solutions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Team Amber
