Referral benefit holds at 3 months free FSD plus Supercharging credits
Posted April 28, 2026. Tesla's headline buyer-side benefit through the referral program continues to be 3 months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) plus a Supercharging credit balance applied to your Tesla Account at delivery. The exact credit amount has shifted in recent weeks — some buyers report higher credits on inventory units relative to custom orders. We'll continue tracking. As always, the order summary at tesla.com is the source of truth for what's attached to your specific order.

HW4 / AI4 across the lineup
Posted April 28, 2026. All new Tesla deliveries are now on HW4/AI4 hardware. Cybertruck has been HW4-only since launch; Model 3 Highland and Model Y Juniper are HW4. The remaining Model S and Model X production has now caught up. Practical effect: every new Tesla you order in 2026 has the latest cameras and onboard compute, which matters most for FSD performance.
March 2026
Supercharger pricing adjustments in California, Texas
Posted March 18, 2026. Tesla quietly adjusted Supercharger pricing at a number of California and Texas stations during March, with off-peak windows expanding at high-demand sites. Practical effect for road-trippers: shifting a charging stop into the off-peak window (typically 10pm–6am local time at busy stations) can save 25–35% on the same kWh. The Tesla in-car nav and the mobile app's "Plan a Trip" feature now show off-peak windows directly.
V4 Supercharger rollout passes 100 sites
Posted March 5, 2026. Tesla's V4 Supercharger deployment has passed 100 active sites in North America. V4 stalls deliver up to 350 kW peak, accommodate longer cables (which matters for non-Tesla EVs and trucks with rear charge ports), and can charge a Cybertruck at its full 800V capability. Most new Supercharger sites being announced are V4.
February 2026
FSD subscription holds at $99/month, lump-sum at $8,000
Posted February 14, 2026. Tesla left FSD pricing unchanged in its quarterly update: $99/month for the subscription, $8,000 to purchase outright. The lump-sum has held steady since Tesla's mid-2024 reduction from $12,000. The subscription remains the better deal for typical owners; see our FSD breakdown for the math.
Model Y Juniper deliveries now consistent across all U.S. regions
Posted February 2, 2026. Model Y Juniper allocations are now flowing evenly across all U.S. delivery regions. The mid-2025 backlog from the initial Juniper changeover has fully cleared. Custom orders for Model Y Long Range are consistently delivering within 2–6 weeks; inventory units typically deliver within 1–2 weeks.
January 2026
Cybertruck range extender pricing finalized
Posted January 22, 2026. Tesla finalized pricing on the Cybertruck range extender battery pack. The pack adds approximately 130 miles of range on AWD and Cyberbeast trims and occupies part of the bed. Production volume for the extender remains limited; Tesla is taking orders but delivery windows are stretching to 6–9 months for some configurations.
Tesla Insurance available in two additional states
Posted January 8, 2026. Tesla Insurance, Tesla's first-party auto insurance product, expanded into two additional U.S. states this month. The product is now available in CA, TX, AZ, CO, IL, OH, OR, UT, VA, plus the two new additions. Pricing is competitive in most metro areas and uses real driving data from the vehicle's safety score for renewal pricing.
December 2025
Federal $7,500 EV credit guidance updated
Posted December 14, 2025. The IRS published updated guidance on point-of-sale Clean Vehicle Credit eligibility. Tesla applies the credit at order if you elect to transfer it. Eligible Tesla trims as of this update: Model 3 (all U.S. trims), Model Y (all U.S. trims), Cybertruck RWD and AWD. Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck Cyberbeast typically exceed the MSRP cap and don't qualify. Buyer income limits ($150k single / $300k joint) still apply.
November 2025
NACS adoption complete across major automakers
Posted November 6, 2025. Every major U.S. automaker now ships at least one model with native NACS (Tesla-style) connectors as the default DC fast-charging plug. The transition that started in 2023 is essentially complete. Tesla's NACS-to-CCS adapter ($250) remains relevant for Tesla owners who occasionally use older third-party DC fast chargers.
October 2025
Supercharger network passes 70,000 stalls globally
Posted October 18, 2025. Tesla's Supercharger network passed 70,000 stalls worldwide. Approximately 30,000 are in North America. The build rate has remained steady through 2025 despite well-publicized organizational changes earlier in the year.
