He will also go over what he learned when searching for an EV (Electric Vehicle) with the absolute lowest cost of long-term ownership. This video goes over what to look for and how to buy an electric car with Free Tesla Supercharging for life.
great video, thanks so much! now i finally understand what to look out for and how the free supercharging is limited on other vehicles!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video.
The best explanation.. Thank you...
Glad you appreciate it! Thanks for the comment.
Your doing gods work spreading the free charging news 😅😂
Most people have no idea how it works. Thanks for commenting.
Fantastic 👏👏
Congratulations on finding your unicorn 🦄 🥰Omg. Thank you for giving me hope. I’ve been looking for like 3 years at this point I want the free supercharging and all the bells and whistles Plus the $4000 tax credit And possibly a sunroof Enjoy your car 😁
Happy to help. You will find one.
What about a later model newer than 2017 that has it in the previous owner's name? Will that transfer fine to me upon purchase if I get them to do it? The dealer kept that owner's info intact ;-) Just making sure, 'cause it's not a 2017 or earlier ya know? So they got the supercharging through a referral or something. Thanks!
Hello, I recently bought a tesla free charge. I have an appointment at Tesla to change a fuse. I lose the free load
Is it true that if you take one of these free supercharging Model S’s to a service center, they’re going to basically hold the car hostage telling you that they have to remove the free supercharging otherwise they won’t service the car?
Thanks for sharing. But since its 2017 model it can lack new features or upgrades that tesla did in these 7 years. Plus tesla has battery and drive unit warranty for 8 years when you buy new one so in this case only 1 year battery warranty is left now. Need to think these factors too before buying 2016/17 used tesla car now.
This is true but it has all the self driving features and you can upgrade the head unit for $1000. Not a bad deal for free power. Also Tesla was offering 6 years free supercharging for people that trade their free supercharging car in on a newer model.
A much wiser decision!
I agree
Hi, Who does the transfer in the app you as the new owner or the original owner? Secondly you mentioned you should make sure you used your real name in the app during transfer can you explain more please.
The current owner needs to transfer the app to your name. You need to make sure it is 100% correct or Tesla will need to recover account and you will need to show proof of transfer and ownership. Use a real persons name not the name of a dealership or company. Like John Smith, not Smith's auto account. Hope this is helpful.
My only concern is this…what is the expected life of the vehicle? What do they mean by “life of the vehicle”? Life of the batteries? If you get to the point of having to change the entire battery pack, will you lose the free supercharging after installation of a new battery pack? If the latest model you can get with free supercharging is 2017 and it’s 2023, how much longer are 2017 and earlier models expected to be on the road with their original batteries and in original configuration?
I do not believe it is dependent on battery life. Meaning if you update the battery pack you should still have free supercharging. The free supercharging is assigned to the vehicle. If you have a bad part and replace it, motor or battery you still keep the free supercharging. I had one I replaced a motor on and did not affect the supercharger. Unless Tesla changes the rules, you can drive the thing for free until the wheels fall off. Haha
Nice video! Very clear. But I still want to ask you one question that really confuses me. If a Tesla has free supercharging for life and it is sold to an independent dealer by the original owner. The car has been registered under the dealer's name, but the dealer doesn't add the car into their Tesla account (which means the car is still in the original owner's account). In this case, will the free supercharging be transferred to me if I buy this car?
It's my understanding that it would. I would ask them to transfer to you for verification if you plan to purchase. Most all the dealers do not leave the app in the past owners name. They transfer it to a dealer email which is when I understand it gets removed.
Wait you said in the app it'll state if it has 'free super charging' buttttttt dont you have to buy the car to see all that info... How do you check if you dont own the car (still searching online).
You will ask the person selling the car to show you the features that the car comes with in the app. It will show free supercharging.
I bought my 2017 model s from Carvana and it still has free super charging. How do I transfer it to myself? I have know idea who the original owner is.
You should be able to go to a Tesla shop and ask how to transfer. The last owner clearly never transferred the app. As long as it's a person to person transfer you should be okay is my understanding. You can ask them hypothetically first.😎 Let me know how it goes.
Wait does free lifetime supercharging transfer to a new vehicle if you sell this one and get a new Tesla?
Tesla was offering 6 year free supercharging on a new vehicle if you give up the free supercharging on you Free for life vehicle.
Hi I buy car has supercharge free when I charge but how to I can add the car in app
The last owner needs to transfer ownership to you. This can be done in app.
how do you see it from the app before you purchase the car?
You need to go into the owners app. I show what to look for in the video.
@@JettersGarage yes but no. If someone sells his Tesla to dealer, it's not possible to see the owner's page from the original owner. If the dealer registered it under its dealers app, Tesla might take away the sc01. The only way to verify is to take it to supercharger and try. But it will only guarantee whether the car have SC05 or not. No other ways to veryify SC01.
You need to have them show you the app and transfer ownership to you@@davidjin8147
@@JettersGarage or we can log on with the previous owner's app info?
Nice. Tesla is trying to get rid those cars with that option.
Yes, they are. And they have been successful with a large portion of them.
don't charge to 100%, only 80%. Over time it will degrade the battery.
Most times I don't but I'm less concerned about battery degradation after having a 2013 S for 7 years.
Why do you have to have an app to charge your vehicle?
You don't need the app to charge the Tesla it's more of a convenience.
I’ve driven the Ford Lightening and all of the Tesla models. I couldn’t believe how cheap and toy-ish they are. The Lightening is SO MUCH more vehicle for the same money. Once you can charge a Lightening at the Tesla superchargers it’s a no brained to buy the lightening. The only advantage Tesla has is superchargers. I think you are a paid spokesperson for Tesla.
I would love to be a paid spokesperson but unfortunately am not. If you watched my other videos I think I give a pretty fair review. Thanks for commenting.
What is mind boggling is the fact that the electrical grid is 33% efficient. You have to burn three gallons of fuel to deliver 1 gallons worth of energy on site. A gas powered car is 30+% efficient. A modern gas engine is far less polluting than a coal or oil power plant. Where is the upside? No one is proposing the tripling of the electrical grid to even make this disaster possible.
We need fusion energy. Still some time away from it but that would be a great answer.
If you compare it to the process of oil in the ground to gas pump you will see a crazy long process. 😅
We put solar on the house 6 years ago and do 99% of our charging at home
It takes 2 gallons of gas to do everything and bring 1 gallon to your local gas station now does it sound very efficient ?
how much u pay for this model s?
Paid $48,500 out the door with 38k miles.
