What Do You Get?
650 free Supercharging miles is roughly 2,000-2,500 kWh of charging at Tesla’s Supercharger network, depending on your model and efficiency. At current Supercharger rates, that’s worth around £100-150. It’s applied to your Tesla account automatically once the car is delivered.
For Model S and Model X orders, you get £500 off the purchase price instead.
My Experience with the Model Y
I’ve had a Model Y for a while now and it’s been genuinely excellent. The range easily covers daily driving and the odd longer trip, and the running costs compared to petrol are dramatically lower - especially when you combine it with a smart energy tariff.
The Tesla integration with home energy management is where it really shines for me. I use a Hypervolt charger at home and charge overnight on Octopus Intelligent Go at around 7.5p/kWh. The car does about 3.5 miles per kWh, so that’s roughly 2p per mile. Predbat (a Home Assistant add-on) handles the optimisation automatically, picking the cheapest slots overnight.
A few things I particularly like:
- Supercharger network - reliable, fast, and well-placed across the UK. The route planner in the car handles it all for you on longer trips
- Over-the-air updates - the car genuinely improves over time. New features, performance tweaks, and bug fixes arrive without visiting a service centre
- Home Assistant integration - full control and monitoring of charging, battery level, location, and climate through the Tesla integration. I use it to automate charging schedules and preheating
- Low maintenance - no oil changes, no exhaust, no clutch. Brake pads last forever thanks to regenerative braking
- Running costs - charging at home on a cheap overnight tariff is a fraction of petrol costs
