Tesla Model 3 Long Range 4×4, 2020, with FSD and Free Supercharging.

This specific combination is highly desirable because Free Supercharging is rare on the Model 3. Unlike the Model S and X, most Model 3s never had transferable free Supercharging. Finding a 2020 Long Range with both FSD and free Supercharging creates exceptional value.

Key Benefit #1: Free Supercharging (The Game Changer)

Why This Is Rare on a Model 3

  • Tesla offered free, transferable Supercharging primarily on Model S and X (2012-2020).

  • Only a tiny number of Model 3s received it – typically:

    • Early 2018 „performance upgrade“ models (brief promotion)

    • 2020 end-of-quarter delivery promotions (very limited)

    • Referral program cars (original owner kept it, sometimes transfers)

  • Most 2020 Model 3s have pay-per-use Supercharging (€0.30-0.60/kWh).

Financial Benefit (Real Money Saved)

 
 
Usage ScenarioAnnual Supercharging Cost (without free)Savings with Free SC
Daily driver + home charging€200-400 (occasional road trips only)Low impact
No home charging (apartment dweller)€1,500-2,500 (15,000-20,000 km/year)€1,500-2,500/year
High-mileage driver (30,000 km/year)€3,000-4,500€3,000-4,500/year
Long road trips (5,000 km/year travel)€500-800€500-800/year

Example: If you drive 20,000 km/year exclusively on Superchargers at €0.40/kWh (18 kWh/100 km = €0.072/km), you save €1,440 annually.

Long-Term Value

  • Over 5 years of ownership: €7,000–15,000 saved (depending on mileage and local electricity/Supercharger prices).

  • Adds significant resale value – free Supercharging cars command a €3,000-5,000 premium.

Important Conditions to Verify

 
 
QuestionWhy It Matters
Is it truly transferable?Some free SC is „original owner only.“ Check Tesla account or ask seller for screenshot showing „Free Supercharging enabled“ with no owner restriction.
Is it unlimited or capped?Most free SC is unlimited. Some referral awards were time-limited (e.g., 2 years).
Does it apply to both AC and DC?Usually Supercharger (DC) only. Destination chargers (AC) are separate.
Can Tesla revoke it?Rare, but possible if car was used for commercial purposes (taxi, delivery).

Key Benefit #2: Full Self-Driving (FSD) – HW3

As outlined previously, the 2020 Model 3 Long Range includes:

  • Navigate on Autopilot (highway on/off ramps)

  • Auto Lane Change (indicator-initiated)

  • Summon & Smart Summon

  • Autopark

  • Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control (driver confirmation required in EU)

Combined value of FSD + Free SC:
FSD originally cost €7,500+. Free SC is effectively worth €5,000-10,000 over the car’s remaining life. Together, they add €10,000-15,000 of value compared to a base 2020 Model 3 without these features.


Key Benefit #3: Long Range + AWD (The Sweet Spot)

 
 
FeatureBenefit
560 km WLTP rangeStill competitive with many new EVs in 2026 (e.g., VW ID.7, Polestar 2)
Dual motor AWDSuperior traction in snow, rain, and loose surfaces – ideal for EU alpine regions or Nordic countries
4.4s 0-100 km/hFaster than 90% of cars on the road – thrilling daily driving
250 kW Supercharging10-80% in ~25 minutes – road trip capable even with free SC

Key Benefit #4: Free Supercharging Enables a Specific Lifestyle

Who Benefits Most

 
 
LifestyleBenefit Level
Apartment dweller / no home charging⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Massive savings, eliminates charging anxiety)
High-mileage commuter (25,000+ km/year)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Fuel cost becomes zero)
Road trip enthusiast⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Travel across Europe for €0 fuel cost)
Home charging owner (cheap overnight rate)⭐⭐ (Savings are modest – home charging is already cheap)

Practical Example: Living Without Home Charging

  • You park on the street, no garage, no driveway.

  • Supercharger is 10 minutes away.

  • You charge once or twice a week while grocery shopping or exercising.

  • Annual electricity cost: €0 (instead of €1,500-2,500).


Key Benefit #5: Depreciation Sweet Spot (2020 vs Newer)

 
 
CarTypical Price (2026, EU)Features
2020 Model 3 LR (no FSD, no free SC)€28,000-33,000Base LR
2020 Model 3 LR (FSD + free SC)€33,000-38,000Premium package
2024 Highland LR (no FSD, no free SC)€45,000-52,000Newer, quieter, but no free SC
2024 Highland LR (FSD, no free SC)€50,000-58,000Newer but €15-20k more

Verdict: The 2020 with FSD + free SC offers 90% of the driving experience for ~40% less cost than a new Highland – and your fuel cost is €0.


Key Benefit #6: Free Supercharging as a Hedge Against Rising Energy Prices

  • EU electricity prices have been volatile (2022 spikes showed vulnerability).

  • Supercharger prices have increased ~50% in some regions since 2020.

  • With free Supercharging, you are immune to future price hikes.

  • If energy prices double again, your savings double.


Key Benefit #7: Road Trip Freedom

  • No need to plan charging around cost – you can use any Supercharger at any time without checking prices (peak vs off-peak irrelevant).

  • No „destination charging“ stress – if hotel has no charger, just use nearby Supercharger for free.

  • Zero fuel cost for cross-Europe trips (e.g., Lisbon to Berlin: 2,500 km – saves €180-250 each way).
