Do Tesla courtesy/loan cars have free supercharging?

 

[Ant M3]

Yes

I’ve always thought that was because the loan car wasn’t linked to your account to pay for charging but I have noticed today that the loan car that I am currently driving now appears in my app and is linked to my account. Haven’t tried supercharging it though.

 

[GRiLLA]

That's new, I heard it was coming. Certainly up until now it's always been free to charge from courtesy cars, be sure to let us know if that's changed

I get my courtesy car on Tuesday night. Will need SC to get me to work and home again so will update

I assumed you did in the past because all the loaner cars were old ones that had unlimited supercharging anyway. If the loaner fleet starts getting newer I imagine it won't be free anymore.

model 3s never had free SC (well from 2020 at least) and I had 3 of them and all had free SC

for tesla it is simple flipping the switch

Yes , and free supercharge for your own car within a short period of time after your collection , I did it last month

Yes, I charged 5 mins in Manchester service centre, nothing charged until now, it’s seem the car still in service mode in a short period of time , just like the temporary pin to drive , i knew this from some tesla driver in US

Early Model 3 deliveries would not switch to paid supercharging for quite some time. Many reported first days use free, which was my experience too, although we did also have free supercharger miles too, but they were accounted for as a zero invoice where as initial ones did not show at all.

ok cool

When they give you the ‘one time pin’ to collect your car, write it down and start the car with the app then move to the supercharger. I did that last year and had a full charge that doesn’t exist. Then use their pin to ‘hand the car’ back to yourself.

 

[M1tch]

In my 20 plate courtesy car now and charging. It’s says “no recent paid charging sessions” on the screen while I’m sat here ….

 

[M1tch]

About an hour later now and back at work. No charge showing on the car, or my bank. (Financial charge for charging with electricity that is)

 

[M1tch]

Had my loaner over a week now. Multiple charges and no bill to me.
