To be honest though, unless you drive a lot it doesn't save much to have free supercharging. I used 3561 Kwh in the last 12 months. I pay $0.11 a kwh at home and I believe the same at a supercharger in my area. So, roughly $400 a year. Even if you double that to $800 a year it takes a long time to get to $5000. Plus it says they were offering 6 years free supercharging to boot. I don't see how this is in any way a negative but just extra incentive to upgrade if you were looking to......
I believe typical SuperCharger rates are now at or above $.35/kwh. It varies by local utility and local regulation but, whenever I have been able to check, the rate has been about $.35 through the middle and east side of the USA. I make that to be more than $.10/mile. Charging at home costs me $.03-$.10/kwh. $01-$.03/mile. I don't keep a tally but I think I do 5k-10k highway miles a year. So, I might value my free SuperCharging to have a value to me of about $500-$1000/year. My 2022 MY does not have free SuperCharging but my 2018 M3 does. I NEVER take my MY on a road trip. A few years ago, I figured my SuperCharging was only about twice home charging but rates have gone up.
I have not been solicited for the most recent trade in offer. The slightly older offer was an extra $5k value on trading in free SuperCharging S/X for another S/X. Not at all attractive to me. Especially since trade ins to Tesla are generally below market value. The new offer is supposed to replace the $5k trade in credit with 3 years of free SuperCharging on the new S/X. A bit more attractive to me but still insufficient.
