Although some Tesla models can include some free SuperCharing, this is not for the lifetime of the car and usually comes as an extra or with the top end models. With the growing popularity of Tesla in general, the company reduced the number of unlimited, free Supercharging which once came as standard.

Tesla users will need to check their Tesla App under “Specs and Warranty” to find out how much free supercharging they qualify for, after which they will be charged at a standard rate which fluctuates but can be around 69p/kWh. Regular Supercharging users can choose to pay a monthly subscription which will allow them to pay a reduced price of 50p/kWh.

Yes. When the Tesla model S starts, you may hear the sound of the compressor as the air suspension system’s reservoir fills with air. Although the Smart Air Suspension was an optional extra for the model S in 2014, it became standard in all models released after 2017.

The purpose of Adaptive Air Suspension offers the driver the choice between a softer or firmer ride based on their preferences as well as offering a more level height between the front and rear when carrying loads.
