Leading American automaker Tesla currently entices customers with free Supercharger credits for its expensive electric car models, Model S and X, in the US and Canada.
The move is part of the company’s effort to raise sales for the said models before the first quarter ends in six days.
Free Supercharger credits
Customers will apparently receive 10,000 free Supercharging kilometers in Canada starting on March 25 if they accept delivery of a new Model S or X before the end of that month. The same goes for US customers, who will also get 10,000 free Supercharging miles.
The complimentary Supercharger credits are valid for two years from the delivery date.
Notably, that credit is worth about $500, depending on the vehicle and the market.
The credits cannot be transferred to a new owner, just like with previous offers of a similar nature.
Tesla’s efforts raise quarter-end deliveries
In hindsight, Tesla also employed this kind of program in December 2022. The Musk-led automaker offered 10,000 free Supercharger miles to US customers to boost December deliveries. However, the credits applied to Model 3 and Model Y.
Tesla has also provided significant year-end discounts to urge customers to accept Model S/X deliveries earlier than planned. However, the price cuts implemented just some weeks into the new year outweighed those discounts.
Nonetheless, Tesla’s Q1 2022 deliveries were remarkable, with more than 310,000 global deliveries. That figure contributed to a new delivery record of 1.31 million EVs last year.

Indeed, such incentives have been effective in enticing customers. That said, it would not be surprising if Tesla reports another quarter record soon. However, it is still interesting that Tesla is struggling to sell new Model S/X units. Sure, they are currently disqualified from the new tax credit. Still, they are now cheaper by around $15,000 than in 2022.
