I sold my Tesla and kept the supercharging benefit. I had a potential buyer who walked away just because I wasn’t willing to transfer it. So it can play a huge role.
That’s interesting! So it seems like you potentially lost out on a sale. Did you have a hard time getting a good price without the transfer?
Sometimes it’s hard to balance what benefits are worth transferring. I’ve heard mixed reviews on whether buyers truly care about the free supercharging.

Exactly! Personal preference comes into play. Some may look for that extra perk while others may not.
I’m currently deciding if I should transfer mine. Does anyone know how it impacts Tesla’s official resale value? I’m curious if there’s a proper valuation mechanism.
That’s a good question! I think it really depends on regional interest in supercharging — some areas are more reliant on it.
From my experience, an interested buyer loved the idea of free supercharging, leading to a smoother sale process. But I’d consider other market factors as well, like mileage.

That’s great to hear! It seems that in some cases, free supercharging really can seal the deal.
Who knows? Maybe a potential buyer sees it as a ‘freebie’ and gets more excited! Just like a surprise dessert at a restaurant—sometimes it makes all the difference.
Haha, I love that analogy! It’s definitely about how you sell the features. Better marketing might help too!
Ultimately, consider your own driving habits and how much you value the supercharging. It might not lead to the huge savings that some expect, depending on usage.
I’ve been through the process of transferring free supercharging. First, make sure both parties have their Tesla accounts ready. You need to contact Tesla support to guide you through the specific steps involved.

That’s great advice! I imagine confirming account readiness is super important. Did you face any specific hurdles during your transfer?
Yes, it’s crucial to verify the accounts. One pitfall is assuming the process is automatic. It isn’t! As Jordan mentioned, you must contact Tesla. Do it well in advance of the sale!
Exactly! It’s good to set expectations. Also, ensuring you’re under the same ownership levels can simplify the transfer.
I didn’t realize there was so much involved, but I have to sell my Tesla soon. Can you explain the roles Tesla support plays? Do they handle everything once contacted?
They do help with the process, yes! Once you reach out, they usually require both parties’ VINs and some verification. It’s pretty straightforward once you engage with them.
Awesome! Does the free supercharging get affected if I change my mind after starting the process? Like, what happens if the new owner backs out?
Good question! If the transfer isn’t finalized and the deal falls through, your supercharging remains intact. Just keep the communication clear with Tesla throughout.
Sounds like transparency is key! Are there any tips for ensuring the transfer goes smoothly?
