Even though early Tesla Model S batteries had several valve alignment issues that led to early and frequent failures, the vehicles are still in high demand on the secondhand car market, particularly those with revised batteries that have previously had their warranties renewed.

The explanation is straightforward: Model S devices used to come with free lifetime Supercharging and premium connection. Even though their prices have drastically decreased, cars with free Supercharging still hold their worth well; a 2014 Model S, for example, is currently listed for $28,995.

Because of this, people who are interested in Tesla’s fastest car, the Model S Plaid, or its longest range car, the Model S AWD, will be pleased to learn that the company is bringing back the free lifetime Supercharging offer for its potent sedan.

Supercharging will now be free for life for anyone who purchases or leases a new Model S after December 13. All of Tesla’s current promotions, many of which are in the final quarter of the year, can be combined with this one.

Naturally, the owner would still be liable for any traffic or idle costs at Superchargers, but they would never have to pay for years of Model S ownership. Regretfully, in contrast to previous iterations of this free lifetime Supercharging promotion, the buyer’s Tesla Account will be linked to it, and they will not be able to move it to another Tesla vehicle or an other owner.

When Tesla seeks to boost sales and compel an upgrade, it frequently renounces its initial strong points, such as prohibiting the free transfer of services or incentives like free Supercharging or FSD, after a specific amount of time.

Given that the Model X and even the Cybertruck now start at the same $79,990 as the Model S, Tesla had to offer a generous incentive to those who choose its fastest vehicle with the longest range on a charge. However, it is unclear how long the free lifetime Supercharging offer for the Model S will last.
