Supercharging for “lifetime of car” transfers under the current FSD & Supercharging transfer to new cars

[mattnep1@veriz]

I am interested in transferring both FSD & free supercharging to a proposed purchase of a new Model S
Any advice on what I should do
The sales rep is clueless !

It expired 3/31/2024.

Odds are they will bring it back now and then. It was a 'one time only' transfer for supercharging before end of 2023 as well and they brought it back a month later to end last month as you noted.

They just lowered the price by 2k. Not sure that would help with any model S sales. They almost certainly have to bring back the free transfers for this group of owners to upgrade.

I was ready to upgrade my 2020, and was hoping the Cybertruck would half way meet its design goals. I am disappointed, and don't think the new S offers much over my 2020 at this time. It has been a good vehicle if you are not concerned with the software "fixes" sometimes helping, and sometimes breaking the accessories.

Bringing back turn signal and gear selector stalk as standard or a paid option at least would help sales too I think.

I don't think it's changed enough in 4 years to make the upgrade worthwhile either. Either the S will go away or a complete redesign is in the cards I would think in the next 2-3 years.

I think they have been losing a lot of potential buyers for lack of stalks. I would replace both my 3 and S if they offered choices. I know most people say you get used to it, but, if I’m paying 90k/50k for a new car, I wouldn’t want to compromise

Change the way the driver interacts with the car AFTER FSD works, or if the change makes things easier, not harder, for the driver.

Exactly. Until the car (or if) it's level 4-5 autonomy then get rid of traditional inputs like turn signal stalk. Until then, at least leave it as an option. Even if paid.

I want to replace my 2015 S with free supercharging. And I don't want to lose stalks, gear selector, sonic sensors (the cheap easy stuff to add back). I don't have FSD, I have wondered if I could buy an old used Tesla with FSD and do a double move to a new S. My ultimate hope, they cut the price to 55k so it can get 7500 off, or maybe some tweak so the S counts as an SUV and thus has the 80k limit.

This looks like it might solve at least two of those problems: Model X/S Gear Shift Stalk Switch Turn Signal Lever Kit for Tesla
There are a couple of threads here about it.

I have to complain about Tesla insurance.
I took my Tesla to have some body work a month ago to Charlotte and they were going to do it.
The car was running fine, it was cosmetic
Later they found a repair done earlier by a Tesla approved facility in Greensboro
Facility mentioned that the work done in Greensboro was not done properly so they could not fix the car
I told her just give me the car like I brought it to you and forget the body repairs
Karen told me that they had cut up the car and couldn’t put it back together.!!
There were filing to Tesla insurance for the repairs . So far no response.
I also filed for rental car reimbursement Without any response!!
I’ve been screwed by Tesla at multiple levels as you can see
I’m planning to sue Tesla I Know it may not go anywhere, but the adverse publicity would not be good for the company.
Also, Negative publicity with TV interviews regarding your companies response.
The Greensboro car company agreed to pay me 41000k, when Insurance kicked in 27,000
Still waiting for over a month
Hopefully will hear from you shortly

What happened, that's unacceptable. I have worried about that transfer if I bought a new one and tried to transfer mine.
