Getting rid of it was more about greed than anything else in the first place.

    Tesla has announced that it is bringing back free Supercharging for life

    Yours or Tesla’s?

      during your ownership of the vehicle

      So you can’t transfer to another car , and if you sell the car, supercharging doesn’t go with

        So the same as they have always been doing?

        Far as I can remember the few exceptions to the sold vehicle removal were directly related to the Free Supercharging being listed on the Monroney sticker as an integrated feature of the vehicle… Not as a separate item like it is now.

          Conditions are the same as before but I thought they had stopped including it. What’s changed is they are again including it

          Neat. What year is yours, how many miles do you have, and how’s your battery capacity? If you don’t mind me asking. I’ve had my 2021 model 3 for about 6 months.

            It’s a 2017, one of the first 60k produced. At ~72k miles. I get 300 miles on a charge, I charge at home 85% of the time and 15% at a SC.

            How are you enjoying it?

              So far so good! I bought mine at 30k miles and I’m already up to 46k, been going on some long (for me) road trips. No maintenance so far. I only have 110V available at home so I almost always either charge at work or at a SC. It still kinda blows my mind how fast it is. I got the LR AWG version. Everyone I know who has the performance version told me they’ve popped multiple tires on potholes so I think I picked the right one.

          Original S had the free supercharging attached to the vehicle and therefore transferable, they killed that around 2017 or 2018 iirc, everything after that was non transferrable.
