Our 2019 i3 has a 4 year/50k mile general warranty with the warranty clock starting at its in-service date which was 9 months after its manufacture date.  Does your 2021 i3 have a shorter warranty?  I don't recall reading that the i3's warranty was shortened, but maybe I missed that.  However, if your i3 has a 4 year warranty, its earliest possible in-service date would have been late 2020, so your earliest warranty expiration date would be late 2024.  Much more likely would be a 2025 expiration date.

Regardless, extended warranties are just insurance policies with the insurer being a profitable company.  You'd probably be better off investing the monthly cost of an extended warranty in an appreciating asset, starting now at least a year before your warranty expires.  You could use the value of this asset to pay any unexpected repair costs.  Sure, the repair cost might be greater than the value of this asset, but on average, it would be less.
