AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla has put a hard deadline on one of its rarest incentives: buyers now have until June 15 to lock in a full year of free Supercharging with a new Model 3 Premium or Performance.
The offer covers three trims of the all-electric sedan — the Premium Rear-Wheel-Drive at $42,490, the Premium All-Wheel-Drive at $47,490, and the Performance at $54,990. Free unlimited fast charging pairs naturally with Tesla's network expansion push, which is accelerating with the new folding V4 Superchargers now arriving in Europe and across US corridors.
What a Year of Free Charging Is Actually Worth
The math makes this one of the more substantial purchase incentives Tesla has offered in years. Peak Supercharger rates currently run between $0.45 and $0.60 per kWh in most regions, and several markets have seen recent increases. For a driver covering a typical 12,000 miles per year, a year of Supercharging would normally cost between $1,000 and $1,500, according to Teslarati's breakdown of the offer.
The timing sharpens the deal further. With the national average gas price sitting at $4.22 per gallon and many states well above that, a Model 3 charged for free undercuts the running costs of a comparable gas sedan by thousands of dollars in the first year alone.
