Tesla offers free supercharging on select inventory cars as EV discount war intensifies

Tesla is offering 5,000kms of free supercharging for customers who take delivery of certain in stock Model 3 long range EVs, as the discount battle between major car-makers continues in the run up to Christmas.

Calendar 2023 has already been a huge year for EV uptake in Australia, with Tesla leading the way, as it has done for years, having delivered nearly 40,000 cars by the end of October.

There have been some significant price cuts on the way, and more recently some special offers of upgrades and added equipment by a range of EV car makers in recent months as the competition for customers intensifies.

Tesla’s offer of 5,000 km of free supercharging for customers who take up delivery of an in-stock Tesla Model 3 Long Range vehicle was first spotted by a Tesla enthusiast and reader of The Driven, Nash and shared on X.

On Tesla’s inventory page, the company states: “Customers who order and take delivery of a New Inventory Model 3 Long Range vehicle between November 20, 2023, and December 31, 2023, are eligible for 5,000 km of free Supercharging valid for one year.”

It’s not the first time Tesla has offered the supercharging incentive to customers. 

Previously in August, the free supercharging incentive was available on selected used inventory Tesla vehicles across the country. 

For customers to be eligible, they needed to place an order and take delivery of the car by the end of the quarter in September 2023.

The latest round comes as the brand prepares to bring in its updated 2024 Tesla Model 3, with first delivered estimated for Q1 2024.
