Tesla Offers One Year Of Free Model 3 & Y Supercharging To End 2020
https://insideevs.com/news/460207/tesla-free-supercharging-ramp-up-deliveries/
. . . Reports say Tesla's sales staff in North American [Sic.] has been told to offer one free year of Supercharging for "undelivered" Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The promotion runs from December 12 to 31. Model 3 Standard Range vehicles are excluded.
This comes as no surprise. Tesla has done it before and it's likely the company will do it again. We know full well that the electric automaker pulls out all the stops at the end of every quarter. Moreover, each quarter is more important than the last, and the end of the year is the icing on the cake. That is ... if Tesla can actually pull off its lofty production and delivery targets. . . .
Tesla aims to deliver some 500,000 vehicles in 2020. There have been doubts all year that it would be able to pull the number off. This became especially true when the company, along with many companies across the globe, was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, Tesla has continued to have record quarters in terms of deliveries and profits.
With that said, it needs to deliver over 180,000 vehicles in Q4 2020, a number that's much higher than its current record. While Tesla used to bank on people buying its cars in larger numbers at the end of the year due to the U.S. federal EV tax credit, that's no longer the case. Now, it has to make other plans to incentivize deliveries. . . .
