Tesla Offers New Incentive to Trade-In Your Gas Car, But Only in the U.S.

Tesla has introduced a new incentive for American drivers looking to switch from gasoline to electric: 2,000 free Supercharging miles when trading in a gas-powered vehicle for a new Tesla. The promotion, available for both purchases and leases, is designed to make the transition to electric mobility more appealing — though it currently applies only in the United States.

The offer highlights Tesla’s ongoing effort to encourage drivers to experience its industry-leading charging network, which now includes over 70,000 Supercharger connectors worldwide. Once drivers trade in their gas vehicle and take delivery of a new Tesla, the company will automatically credit their account with the free mileage, allowing for cost-free charging during early ownership.

“Never pay for gas again,” Tesla says in an email to customers, emphasizing the savings and simplicity of electric ownership. The promotion encourages drivers to envision cross-country trips powered entirely by electricity, supported by Tesla’s integrated navigation system and in-car entertainment features such as Caraoke, Tesla Theater, and Trip Planner.

The 2,000 free miles roughly equate to around 800–1,000 kWh of electricity, depending on driving efficiency and model, providing up to 3,200 kilometres (2,000 miles) of free travel. Drivers can use these credits at any Tesla Supercharger location across the network, though the offer is time-limited, and the Supercharging miles expire two years after delivery.

At this time, there is no equivalent offer for Canadian buyers, where Tesla’s trade-in and Supercharging programs operate separately. That gap may disappoint Canadian customers, but Tesla is offering us $3,000 off inventory Model 3s and low-interest financing and lease rates on the Model Y.
