Tesla is trying to boost sales of its more expensive vehicles, the Model S sedan and Model X SUV, by offering a $5,000 increase in trade-in value to owners of older Model S and Model X vehicles who are willing to upgrade to the latest models. This offer is only valid for those cars that have unlimited Supercharging enabled, as per the email sent by the EV maker to current owners. Canadian Tesla owners will get an extra $7,000 (Canadian) when they trade in their car. However, this offer is only valid for those buying a new Model S or Model X, with the company stating on its website that those buying a new Model 3 or Model Y aren’t eligible for the credit.
The offer is interesting, but it’s worth noting that Model S and Model X prices have increased significantly since 2013. A base Model S now starts at $94,990, which is $25,000 more expensive than the roughly $70,000 price tag it carried back in 2013. Plus, those who take advantage of this offer will have to give up their free unlimited Supercharger access.
Whether or not this offer is a good deal depends on the individual. It may be worth considering for those who are looking to upgrade their older Model S or Model X and don’t mind giving up their free unlimited Supercharger access. However, those who are looking for a more affordable option may want to consider the Model 3 or Model Y instead. What’s your take on this: do you think it’s a good deal?
