Was curious if there was any updates to the ongoing thing Im seeing on reddit and others if ELON and Tesla Team will HONOR the "FREE SUPERCHARGING" for ALL Early FS CT Owners or the First 25,000 purchased trucks???

Any updates to this or where its at. YOU would think if that incentive was offered with the considerable PRICE DROP in the CT's that ELON and TESLA would honoro free supercharging for the first owner of the CT for the first people that paved the way through the TERRIBLE QA process of this vehicle.

yes I figured, but I find it SHADY of TESLA to

1. place the flip$50k restriction to resell the truck and then remove it in Sept.
2. then NOT BUY BACK the truck, bc they completely screwed up the MSRP and exhausted their 2 million pre-orders. If you try to trade in your CT at any Tesla location for another Tesla they DECLINE it. WHY? BC they have TOO MUCH SUPPLY AND NO DEMAND
3. I have had my CT in for service almost every month for a year for 1 - 10 days at a time.

Its been with great disappointment the way TESLA has handled their EARLY ADOPTERS...

Not to mention i still have not received my CyberHubCaps or received the email for the powershare lol .


I feel like 100% covered charging would be a wonderful gift to all the early purchasers. Have you seen the depreciation value of the FS CT lately??? almost $30k+ in losses

It’s time to move on people. if ya bought a ct without free supercharge, too bad so sad. Tesla owes u nothing. Life is unfair
It’s not even unfair. It’s exactly what we bargained for.

The "Free Supercharging" deal lasted for about two weeks. It was announced on December 27, 2024, and now appears to be over. There are still banners about it on the Tesla website, but there are no Foundation Series listed in inventory.

The deal was apparently an attempt to move the last remaining FS, basically like a closeout discount. It undoubtedly drove some sales over the past two weeks, but probably not a lot; I would guess on the order of hundreds, at best.

There were literally tens of thousands of FS sales prior to 12/27/24. The hope that Tesla will now provide Free Supercharging to tens of thousands of FS owners -- instead of just hundreds -- is wishful thinking.

As of Monday afternoon, the FS is back in inventory, so the banners make sense now. And so the "Free Supercharging for FS" deal is still on, at least for now.

I find it funny that people will spend 100K on a vehicle then bitch and moan about little things. Dont buy the damn CT then. Jeez people get on with your life and enjoy what you have.

I think the beef is on the type of "incentive" to purchase a FS. I have no problem with Tesla offering free supercharging on a MY three months after I purchased my MY because that offer is for 3 months of free SC. To offer an incentive is okay so long as it is an incentive such as a "free spare" or perhaps "vault bins" or "MOLLE racks" or free SC for three months. Those are incentives. To offer Free SUPERCHARGING FOR LIFE" is a reward. Quite a large difference between the FSC for life and any other incentive. I have really never seen a ICE maker offer free fuel for a lifetime. Perhaps a year but never a lifetime. Thus the reason for upset early buyers. It is the type of incentive not the offer of an incentive.

I can appreciate some upset feelings if you had your truck in service often but like others have said, we all knew what we got ourselves in to here :) On the point the OP made about Powershare, my understanding there is Tesla did offer some of the early VINs free Supercharging for a couple months while Powershare installers and/or installs got figured out. I don’t have first hand experience as I do not have a Beast.

OP, if you are still just waiting on an email or for Tesla to reach out to you to get Powershare installed and you are purchased a year ago it may be that you missed an email. From what I saw others saying they had to bulldog the installers a little or even be a pest to Tesla about some of those early vouchers.

I think it is fair to say everyone likes free things even if we don’t really see ourselves using them. :)
