According to Electrek Tesla is going to bring back the unlimited free Supercharging.

"According to people familiar with the matter, Tesla is offering existing owners with free Supercharging on their current vehicles to be grandfathered-in when purchasing a new Model S or Model X and get 3 years of free unlimited Supercharging if they order and take delivery by the end of the quarter."

I upgraded my P85D to a new P100D. The transaction was a few days ago. The delivery is pending.

Hope i qualify. !

I really think Tesla should bring back unlimited supercharging for S/X permanently and give it to all owners of them. I think it would be a great feature for the S/X compared to the 3.

Instead create limits on superchargers to prevent congestion such as creating a queue for supercharging and limiting people to 80% charge if there's a line.

I just checked my app...

It’s only 1000 miles of supercharging

It seems they are two different programs. The grandfathering of your super charging and a new and modify referral program.

By the way can I use my code for my own car ?

Yes you can if it qualifies (new or new inventory models only). Well at least you could in the last program

You want to raise Model S sales at practically zero cost? Approve it for towing. Even a 2000 lb rating would be awesome. They are apparently going to okay it for the Model 3 and Model Y.

I guess towing is just 3XY, not S3XY

I agree. I think could be a huge feature difference, and makes the higher cost worth it.

Tesla has made changes to the supercharger program before, and we'll likely see additional changes in the future, perhaps providing free long distance supercharging for higher priced S/X/Roadster 2.0, providing more differentiation from the lower priced 3/Y vehicles.

But Free Supercharging "will never come back"

Where do you find the link for free supercharging, I see the link for 1000 miles, but not the 3 years of free supercharging for owners of model S or X that want to upgrade.

I heard the inherent structure of the S does not allow it.

Great, a new referral program. I look forward to a fresh wave of shameless self promotion to get referrals. I swear, some people have no shame!

There are two kits for the Model S. They work fine.

What are they rated for though? Pulling a boat trailer or having a couple of bikes on them

2000 lbs trailer weight and 200 pound tongue weight. I have one and using a hitch-mounted cargo tray makes our semi-annual 2500 mile road trips much easier and with no range reduction. Let me tow a small trailer to get sheets of plywood and life would be good...
