- chippiewill 3y agoYeah, it just sounds like negative spin to me. It should be obvious really that a Tesla with unlimited supercharging would need a higher trade-in value than one without. If you want those owners to buy a new car you need to offer them more than those without the unlimited supercharging.
- c0m 3y agoNegative spin? The editorialising of it is reasonably nuanced, even going so far as to point out that customers “[might not] have to trade in [their] older Model S or Model X vehicle when taking this offer”, and calling the offer ‘interesting’. Really hard to see this as anything other than at worst neutral.
- shaftway 3y agoWe can also assume that Tesla will remove the free unlimited supercharging from these models and then re-sell them on he market. If I wanted to trade in my Model S with unlimited supercharging, I'd sell it on the used market and use that as a premium to get more for it.
- Reason077 3y agoRight. Presumably, they’re worried that some Tesla owners are being dissuaded from trading in for a new Tesla, because they would lose their unlimited supercharging. This offer is an attempt to soften that blow.
