Tesla North America confirmed late Friday that the limited-time free Supercharging promotion for new Model 3 Premium (Long Range) and Model 3 Performance orders in the United States will end on Monday, June 15, 2026. If you've been sitting on the fence about ordering, the clock is running out on one of the more compelling incentives Tesla has offered this year.
What the Offer Actually Includes
This isn't a vague promotional credit — it's a full 12 months of complimentary Supercharger access starting from your vehicle's delivery date. According to verified promotion terms, the offer applies to:
- Model 3 Premium (Long Range All-Wheel Drive)
- Model 3 Performance
The base Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive trim is not eligible. The promotion also won't apply to existing orders placed before April 24, 2026, used vehicles, or vehicles intended for commercial use (ridesharing, taxi, delivery).
A few fine-print details worth knowing: the free Supercharging benefit activates at delivery and cannot be paused, transferred, or redeemed for cash. You'll still be responsible for any applicable congestion fees at busy Supercharger locations.
One upside: this promotion can be stacked with Tesla's separate 2,000-mile Supercharging incentive for trade-ins of gas-powered vehicles, which is expected to remain in effect beyond Monday's deadline.
How to Lock In the Deal Before Monday
The key date is your order date, not your delivery date — so you don't need to take delivery before June 15, just place the order. Here's how to move quickly:
- Go to Tesla.com and configure your Model 3 Premium or Performance. Select your color, wheels, and interior. The eligible trims will show the promotion applied automatically.
- Check the order summary for the free Supercharging benefit. It should appear as a line item before you submit payment. If you don't see it, confirm you've selected a qualifying trim — not the base RWD.
- Complete the order before end of day Sunday (June 14). Tesla's deadlines typically align with midnight Pacific Time on the stated cutoff day, but placing your order Saturday or Sunday removes any last-minute risk.
- If you're trading in a gas vehicle, add the trade-in during checkout. The 2,000-mile Supercharging credit stacks with this promotion, giving you a meaningful head start on charging costs in year one.
- Confirm your order confirmation email references the free Supercharging benefit. Save this email — it's your documentation if any questions arise at delivery.
Is It Worth Rushing?
A year of free Supercharging has real dollar value. The amount you'd save depends on how much you drive and your local electricity rates, but frequent road-trippers or owners without home charging access stand to benefit most. Tesla has used time-limited Supercharging promotions like this in the past to drive end-of-quarter order momentum — once the window closes, there's no guarantee a comparable offer returns anytime soon.
If a Model 3 Premium or Performance was already on your radar, Monday's deadline gives you a concrete reason to stop waiting. Orders placed after June 15 will be subject to whatever incentives — if any — Tesla offers next.
