How to Check If Your Tesla Qualifies for Free Supercharging

I had a great experience with Tesla cars, the Model 3s are the most affordable car you can buy today. You can get a Model 3 with a battery range of 262 miles for a little under $40,000.

With a charge time of 40 minutes for a full charge, you don’t need to wait to be able to recharge your car. With the new Tesla charge network now available to customers, customers now have access to wicked fast charging at all Tesla stations.

There are over 10,000 Superchargers worldwide. Elon Musk stated that the Superchargers were free for life of the car when they were released, but does that still hold true?

How to Check If Your Tesla Qualifies for Free Supercharging Tesla offers free supercharging with all Tesla models. Free charging may be included with the purchase of a Tesla, but not all models qualify for free charging.

Does Tesla still offer free Supercharging?

Tesla offers free supercharging occasionally, but it is not for the lifetime of the vehicle. Most often, they run promotions to boost sales before the end of a quarter.

Tesla, for instance, offered free supercharging for two years with the purchase of a Tesla Model 3 in the third quarter of 2019.

Tesla recently discontinued its referral program for cars and solar panels but left Solar Roof.
