Tesla offers awesome Free Supercharging incentive on an unexpected vehicle

Key Points:

• Tesla North America is offering one year of free Supercharging for new Model 3 Premium (Long Range) and Performance orders placed on or after April 24, aiming to boost sales of this mass-market sedan amid growing competition.
• The incentive excludes existing owners and base Model 3 trims, and highlights Tesla’s strategic advantage with lower Supercharging rates compared to non-Tesla EVs, potentially saving owners $800–$1,200 annually in charging costs.
• To address congestion and disputes at busy Supercharger stations, Tesla is rolling out a Virtual Queue system via the Tesla App, notifying drivers of wait times and their position in line to improve charging order and reduce conflicts.
• Tesla has begun mass production of its Cybercab robotaxi at Giga Texas, unveiling a new glossy champagne gold finish for the first production units, signaling a shift from the matte prototypes and emphasizing a premium, futuristic design.
• The Cybercab aims to support Tesla’s vision for a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, with production ramping up to hundreds of units per week as the company continues to refine its Full Self-Driving technology through over-the-air updates.
