What is everyone paying for 20k service at their dealership? The local one in the Tri-Valley quoted over $500 for the service (which I respectfully declined).

Considering getting it done for the right price, but over $500... That ain't it.

We got our 30,000 mile service done at Water Star motors in Santa Cruz, California for $250. They have at least one tech on staff that does regular EV trainings, and the service was great. No up sales, just ended with a recommendation to get some tires soon.

10k I had the "anti-click" CSP done and they rotated the tires for free
20k I had Discount Tire rotate for free, skipped the air filter swap
30k I paid $15 to have tires rotated at dealer
40k I paid $80 for tire and air filter, I got angry at the service advisor that they charged $40 to swap the air filter. That ain't happening again. I'll let them do tires and inspection only going forward.

I'm not Norcal, but seriously...are they really charging that much for an inspection and tire rotation??

There's no reason to pay anything. Discount Tire will rotate for free. Do the cabin air filter yourself. The "inspections" will do nothing for you or the truck. If you want, check the coolant level yourself. Brake pads wear very little, no need to check them on a regular basis.

Does the fact that you don't bring it into the Dealer for the 10k, 20k or 30k service do anything to the warranty? Seeing as there are also inspections involved...

The dealer stated the rotation would be included in the price; when I asked how much for just a rotation, they said $30 (which includes brake inspection). Discount Tire did my rotation at 10k, which coincided with having them fix a flat (free rotation, $40 flat repair).
