I just got back my car after twenty three days in the shop for a recall. The battery had to be removed and a replacement part installed. What would have that cost if it wasn’t on Ford? I’m guessing a whole lot more than I wanted to spend. I immediately went on line Granger/ford and purchased a ten year 85,000 mile warranty with some add ons. The warranty is transferable..
? why buy extra warranty ? you already have 8 yr/100k on the battery&drivetrain...

You did the best thing, do not own a Mach E beyond the 3yr/36k miles without warranty, you will regret it sooner or later, I am in California so sadly can't purchase from Granger like you did.
I have always found that electronics (like the center display) either die within 90 days, or last 10+ years. 36k mile/3yr warranty on all that stuff seems to cover it as long as the drivetrain has 100k/8yr.

My thinking is that 'extended warranties' would not be offered if the insurance company doesn't USUALLY win. Start a savings account, and put that same amount in every month or year.... and I'll bet you come out ahead financially.

It involved the battery, but it wasn't the battery. The battery is warranted by Ford to eight years/ 100,000 miles. It's the rest of the car and the unknown serving electric vehicles.
The entire EV-specific portion of the vehicle is included in the 8/100,000 warranty.

If your repair was for the HVBJB, the part is something less than $1,000.00, plus a few bucks for coolant and a bolt and 6 hours of labor at shop rate. Without knowing the exact service, I am just guessing. 🤷‍♂️🐩
If the warranty time is 6 hours you will likely pay 10-12.

This reads like a Granger advertisement, just an unlabeled one. Extended warranties are just consumers willingly pi$$ing money away in the vast majority of cases.

That's basically any insurance. I've paid far, far more than I've received between home/auto/life insurance premiums.

Yeah, I’ve got a friend I played golf with. He’s got a $400,000 home right on the Gulf of Mexico in South Mississippi and he can build homes if he wants he doesn’t have a construction company or anything like that but he has no insurance on his house he said he’s not paying $1500 a month. he says he lost a house once in 30 years even with Katrina so all that money he saved was worth it he said.

Correct. So going and buying that extended warranty was wasted if this was the motivation.

As @Mach1E says, the powertrain warranty is only 5 years/60K miles, not 8 years/100K miles. I was surprised by this too when I recently discovered it.

I wonder what components are classified as powertrain versus battery and drive train ?

i.e. batteries and motors might be 8/100K separate from transmission CV, struts, etc. that are 5/60k ?

it would be nice to have a clear official reference from @Ford Motor Company

Additionally, the battery/electric drivetrain warranty cannot be extended with the Ford ESP. This is why I keep waffling on whether to get one or not. 🤪🐩

No, it isn't... You cannot extend the 8 years / 100,000 miles. That is why I said you reacted needlessly.
