Tesla feels festive: free off-peak Supercharger use during holidays

Tesla has announced that it is making some of its Supercharger stations free during off-peak hours, between the hours of 7PM to 10AM local time between December 23 and December 26, 2021.

These stations are close to major US routes and urban centers, with Tesla only making some of their Supercharger stations free in 11 states. I've got a list of those below, but what is the reason? Tesla says its Supercharger stations are overwhelmed at times, so it is trying something different to take away the load (by offering free charging during off-peak hours).

The more Tesla vehicles that are sold, the worse this gets -- Telsa is having trouble keeping up with charging demand as it is -- let alone in the future. We should see more of the free off-peak charging if things continue like this, and if Tesla sees a change in their Supercharger use across those 11 states in the US between December 23-26.
