Free supercharger random times

Seoul_T_Seattle | 2026-01-05 16:09 | 67 views

Well it shows plus 91 but I did the full charge of 270 miles and I’m at the one area I go to and in 2 months of owning the car I had probably 5x free supercharging here. Checked my account and indeed was not charged. Getting my home a hardwired charger this week but until then I’m wondering if this is a glitch or Tesla being nice

You typically have free Supercharging for a few months after buying the car. It shows in the app whether you have it or not.

If you traded in a gas car last quarter you got 2000 supercharging miles. Which it looks like that’s where it’s pulling from.

Seoul_T_Seattle 2026-01-05 16:29

But it’s random right not like consistently cause I don’t know when the free pops up. Do you know where I check? I think I remember in the vin number on the app or something but just wanna make sure exactly

Ahh I did trade in a gas car. Anyway I can see how much I have left or if there is any? And happens randomly ?

Dang thought it was glitch or the grocery in front of charger did complimentary to entice people to shop

So weather =‘glitch = free But as other said I think my situation is the trading in gas cad

Click the three dots on the top right corner in the app and then click charging. It’ll show you the remaining miles there.

I don’t really know, but maybe I’ll have to find out how fast the miles go up or how long I wait kind of monitor these things even take a video I guess. So the longer it waits is that a good thing or does it actually need to be immediately increasing the miles as soon as you plug-in

Seoul_T_Seattle 2026-01-05 17:55

So the only thing I see is premium connectivity and nothing about the mileage, etc.

So you’re thinking that it’s a poor issue or something I mean I’m all for if it ain’t broke don’t fix it but if it poses a problem later on then definitely better to get it checked out but never seen anybody have this kind of situation before so not sure

I would cross my fingers but expect the billing to catch up eventually.

Seoul_T_Seattle 2026-01-05 20:05

I checked previous and no charge still . Happy yet concerned also

You should get 2,000 free supercharging miles when trading in a gas car. I was wondering the same thing you did and eventually I was able to see the remaining free miles under Charging. See this link: https://www.tesla.com/current-offers

Seoul_T_Seattle 2026-01-05 23:53

The thing is, I saw the charging section and it was not there so maybe it’s just somewhere hidden but it is accumulating

eric123406109 2026-01-06 00:32

Is this for used inventory as well?

Basanez 2026-01-06 01:40

It doesn’t seem like it: “1 Promotion requires completed trade-in of a gas or hybrid vehicle and is subject to change or end at any time. Supercharging miles expire two years after delivery date and cannot be postponed, assigned or redeemed for cash. Supercharging-related fees, like congestion fees, still apply. Pre-owned vehicles and B2B sales not eligible. Promotional miles may be revoked if the trade-in cannot be completed for any reason. Actual miles may vary and is dependent on factors like driving behavior and environment. Terms and conditions apply.”

EGMobius 2026-01-09 14:02

Is that advertised anywhere? Any certain models?

stuffedbipolarbear 2026-01-09 16:58

Brand new cars get free trials. Mine was 3 months of free Supercharging, Premium Connectivity, and FSD

EGMobius 2026-01-09 17:39

I think that was a specific promotion. I see no mention of it anywhere outside of a 1 month premium connectivity. We're trading in so we're getting the 2000 miles so we're happy about that at least.

stuffedbipolarbear 2026-01-09 17:42

You’re right. I vaguely remember it being a promo back in summer 2024. My mistake.
