Tesla has seemingly brought back free Supercharging to some of the Model S and Model X cars it is selling. The free Supercharging model was removed in later 2018 due to issues of ‘sustainability.’ Company CEO Elon Musk said at the time “Sorry, it’s not really sustainable at volume production & doesn’t incent optimal behavior. We probably should have ended this earlier.”

Free Supercharging was a huge perk for its drivers back in the day, essentially meaning they would never need pay to charge their car on the go. However, with the introduction of the new Model 3 and soon to be Model Y which are volume production cars it would be quite expensive for the firm. It was also removed from the generous Referral Programme which was revised earlier this year and replaced with 1,000-miles of free miles in credit. However, now new inventory cars get the perk as an add-on when they are bought, reports Electrek.

Some brand new cars, which did not revive the recent hardware upgrade, will come with are Supercharging as a way to incentives people to buy out remaining stock in them. According to Electrek, Tesla stated that the models will receive “free unlimited Supercharging” for the duration of the ownership. Prices for New Inventory stock in the UK start at around £67,714 or £716 per month on finance and the 75D variants are available of the Model S. Currently, it is just Model S being offered in the UK with free supercharging while US customers can get this perk on both vehicles.

Recently Tesla announced a huge hardware upgrade for the Model S and Model X range. The cars were given new adaptive suspension, better battery technology and improvements to range and acceleration. Now the Model S can travel up to 370-miles on a charge while the Model X can achieve 325-miles on the EPA cycle, for the Long Range variants.
