no more unlimited supercharging as from 16/09 - Tesla

[PixelpeepS3]

Due to place an order on 30th September on a new model S 75D but received an email a week ago saying tesla were ending their 'free unlimited supercharging referral scheme' on the 16th September.

Although in the grand scheme of things it shouldn't be a deal breaker it's left me with a niggle and as £75k is a fair amount to sink into a car i fear it might start to de-rail the whole process for me.

Does anyone know if they're planning on reintroducing something similar in the future?

i liked the idea of the freedom to be able to, regardless of bank balance, be able to drive to say Scotland, topping up for free along the way..

Anyone feel the same? am i being a wuss ?

I can't see them reintroducing the free supercharging.

But at £0.20/kWh the most you could pay would be £15 (empty to 100%). Most of the time it is likely to be closer to £10. That is still a lot cheaper than driving an ICE, so I wouldn't worry about it.

With a referral code you will still get your first year of Supercharing free.

my referral code is: https://www.tesla.com/referral/richard7249

Hi Richard,

thanks for this - following the link only offers £100 credit rather than for the year, although its still better than nothing...
