After Tesla introduced the ability for customers in North America to transfer their free unlimited Supercharging benefit last month, the automaker’s business in China has followed suit.
Tesla China is now offering transfers for customers with the free unlimited Supercharging benefit, as long as they take delivery by the end of the year, according to a post on the automaker’s Weibo page. While Tesla’s North American version of the programme excludes the Model 3, the programme in China includes all four of the automaker’s models in the incentive scheme.
Translated from Chinese, Tesla wrote the following about the incentive in the Weibo post:
“Winter benefits for old car owners are here, free limited-time Supercharger transfers warm online. Before the end of the year, if an old car owner orders any S3XY model and takes delivery on time, the free Supercharging benefit from the original car can be transferred to the new car. Stay warm this winter with Tesla.
Tesla regularly offers incentives and special benefits to boost sales at the end of quarters and years, most recently offering discounted prices on some models in China for purchases made by the end of the year.
The programme comes shortly after the carmaker began delivering its updated Model 3 ‘Highland’ in China and other countries last month. It also comes after Tesla raised prices on the rear-wheel-drive Model 3 and Model Y in China.
The refreshed Tesla Model 3 starts at RMB 261,400 (~$36,251) in China, while the Model Y starts at RMB 266,400 (~$36,945). The Model S sticker price starts at RMB 698,900 (~$96,925) in the country, while the Model X starts at RMB 738,900 (~$102,472).
