Tesla Transfers Unlimited Supercharging to Model S and X Vehicles in Stock, Provides Complimentary Premium Connectivity in Europe
Tesla Alters Free Lifetime Supercharging Incentive for Model S and Model X
As of mid-2025, Tesla has tightened the eligibility criteria for its free lifetime Supercharging incentive for new Model S and Model X purchases, with the offer now mainly limited to specific inventory sales or purchase conditions.
In the United States, Tesla is currently providing one year of free Supercharging for new inventory Model S and Model X cars, a change from the previous lifetime free Supercharging offer. This adjustment was made in early 2025 to boost sales during a period of slowing demand.
The free Supercharging perk is non-transferable, excludes used cars, business orders, and vehicles used commercially, and Tesla reserves the right to remove it if usage is excessive. Other Tesla models like the Model 3 currently receive a limited-time free Supercharging offer, but not lifetime free Supercharging.
Regional specifics outside the U.S. are less clear from recent published data, but the primary recent promotions with free Supercharging incentives have been U.S.-focused, aligned with inventory efforts and responding to the ending of federal tax credits in late Q3 2025.
In Europe, buyers in markets such as the United Kingdom are still able to receive free lifetime Premium Connectivity with the purchase of an inventory Model S or Model X. However, the offer of free lifetime Supercharging is only applicable in certain European markets, such as the United Kingdom, but with the caveat that it applies only to the original purchaser.
It is important to note that the free Supercharging benefit is not available for all regions, as it is limited to certain markets. Furthermore, the exact end date for the free lifetime Supercharging promotion is not specified.
The free Supercharging incentive was initially reintroduced for the Model S and later extended to the Model X. The offer was introduced after Tesla raised prices in Canada and the U.S. by C$7,000 and US$5,000 respectively. The current version of Tesla's free Supercharging offer is more restrictive compared to earlier versions.
The update to the company's website indicates that the free lifetime Supercharging perk is ending soon, but the post does not clarify if the offer no longer applies on new orders or if Tesla has had a change of heart and decided to extend the offer further.
For drivers who primarily charge at home, the free Supercharging perk may not offset the premium price of the flagship models, especially without transferability. However, for long-term owners who regularly use Tesla's Supercharger network, the free Supercharging perk can still represent a major cost-saving.
