Tesla has started offering customers in two key Asian markets free Supercharging, with terms and conditions. Owners in China and Japan can “refuel” at no cost while the rest of the world deals with rising fossil fuel prices.
According to Tslachan on X, Tesla China is gifting 5,000 km worth of Supercharging for every new EV. However, customers must be trading in an old car. The trade-in can occur at Tesla’s official service centers or approved 3rd-party service providers. The old car could be a Tesla or a non-Tesla model, as stated on Tesla China’s website.
