Discontinuation of complimentary upgrade incentive for Model 3 and Model Y in the United States by Tesla, while maintaining Supercharging benefit in Canada.
Tesla Extends Incentives for Model 3 and Model Y in Canada
Tesla is offering exciting deals for customers in Canada who are considering purchasing a new Model 3 or Model Y. The electric vehicle manufacturer has extended two promotions, providing significant savings and benefits for buyers.
The first promotion, known as the "One Free Upgrade," allows buyers to receive one free upgrade, such as premium paint, wheels, or interior, on their vehicle. This offer is available for Model 3 inventory in Canada, but it has an expiration date of August 18, 2025. Customers must place their order by this date to qualify for the free upgrade, which can result in savings of up to US$2,000 depending on the chosen upgrade.
In addition to the free upgrade offer, Tesla is currently providing free lifetime Supercharging on all Model 3 inventory in Canada. This incentive was announced around mid-August 2025 and does not have a specified end date mentioned in the available search results. This promotion is positioned as a current promotion to boost Q3 sales.
Canadians are awaiting new Model Y shipments from Giga Berlin, expected to arrive in the coming weeks. With these exciting offers, it's an ideal time for potential buyers to secure their new electric vehicle.
It's important to note that these promotions apply only to existing inventory and do not affect delivery windows or lease prices for Model Y or Model 3.
Meanwhile, in the United States, Tesla is ending the "One Free Upgrade" promotion for new Model Y and Model 3 inventory vehicles. The deadline for U.S. buyers to secure the federal $7,500 EV tax credit is at the end of September. The recent increase in Model Y lease prices in the U.S. by as much as 14% might be due to a spike in demand caused by the approaching EV tax credit expiration.

With the ongoing promotions, the automotive industry in Canada is seeing a considerable boost as Tesla offers free Supercharging on all Model 3 purchases and a one-time free upgrade options, such as premium paint, wheels, or interior. This move in the transportation sector could potentially influence other finance and technology companies to follow suit, initiating a positive change in the charging industry. The U.S. market, on the other hand, is responding to Tesla's Model Y lease price increase by up to 14% and the approaching federal $7,500 EV tax credit deadline, fueling increased demand for these models.
