From the article: > Earlier this year, Tesla made a first effort to try to get those vehicles off the perk by offering owners an extra $5,000 discount if they trade in a Model S and Model X with unlimited free Supercharging. > Now Tesla is doubling down on this effort by launching what it calls a new “Ownership Loyalty Benefit.” > The automaker is offering those owners six years of unlimited Supercharging when buying a new Model S or Model X by the end of the quarter. In the article How much does it cost to charge a Tesla? [1] the Cost to charge a Tesla Supercharger/DCFC is in the range of $5.28 per 100 miles (Model Y) to $5.97 per 100 miles (Model 3) to $6.37 per 100 miles (Model X) to $5.88 per 100 miles (Model S Plaid). Lets take a blended average of $5.80 per 100 miles. Average miles driven per year (CA) is 14,435 miles. [2] That gives a supercharger charging cost of $837.23 per year. For 6 years, that is a cost of $5023.38 without considering time value of money. If we use the national average from [3], Tesla Model Ys are driven 13,500 miles and at the average Model Y charging cost of $5.28/100 miles that is $712.80 or $4276.80 over 5 years. And customers did not bite the $5k offer in expected numbers to surrender the free supercharger perk. Perhaps, Tesla should look at upping the offer.
