Amber launches Tesla warranty service to help owners of aging EVs


Amber, a new San Francisco Bay Area startup, is launching an extended warranty service for owner of electric vehicles.

The company is launching AmberCare in 10 states: Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. A new crop of businesses have popped up that are dedicated to efforts like recycling the battery packs that power the cars — including Redwood Materials, founded by ex-Tesla CTO JB Straubel — or tending to the “digital maintenance” of EVs and AVs, like Lux Capital-backed Kinetic. Pak also says he’s aware of the challenge of building a business around extended warranties at a time when people are pretty allergic to that phrase, thanks to years of phone scams.
