Tesla's New Free Supercharging Filter: A Game-Changer for Owners
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla owner with free supercharging, I've got some exciting news from the latest software update. Tesla has rolled out a brilliant new setting that's going to save you time, hassle, and money. Let's dive in.
Avoiding the Wrong Chargers: The New Filter
With the explosion of third-party superchargers from companies like Wawa and others popping up everywhere—not just in the US, but worldwide—it's easy to accidentally pull up to a non-Tesla station. If you have free supercharging on your Tesla, guess what? It doesn't apply to these third-party spots. You'll end up paying out of pocket.
But Tesla listened! Now, in your trip planner, you can toggle a simple option: "Only add superchargers accepting free supercharging from Tesla." Boom—your route now filters to Tesla-owned superchargers only. No more surprises.
This feels like the start of something bigger. As more non-Tesla chargers flood the market, features like this become essential. And who knows? It could tie into Tesla bringing back free supercharging incentives for popular models like the Model 3 and Model Y. They've done it before, and it wouldn't surprise me to see it trickle down again.
What do you think? If you've got free supercharging, are you loving this update? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
Tesla Comes Naked: Time for Must-Have Accessories
Now, a quick reality check: When you buy a Tesla, it arrives with zero accessories. No phone mount. Nothing for your center console. Zilch. But don't stress—I've got the must-haves every owner needs, courtesy of our partners at Jowua.
These aren't just random picks—I use them all myself. Here's my top list:
- Phone Mount: Keeps your phone secure during those neck-snapping accelerations.
- Center Console Organizer: Say goodbye to losing keys, coins, and snacks in the abyss.
- Invisible Under-Screen Station Mount: My newest fave—perfect for stashing sunglasses discreetly.
But Jowua goes beyond basics:
| Accessory | Why You'll Love It |
|---|---|
| Wireless Game Controller | Fits perfectly in the glovebox for backseat gamers. |
| Portable Air Compressor | Peace of mind on road trips—fix flats fast. |
| Electric Scooter | Ditch walking between superchargers or Level 2 spots. |
