Tesla Inc. is trying to tempt customers with charging perks and cheap financing to help revitalize sales amid a slow start to the year for the electric-vehicle maker.

The company is offering free lifetime supercharging on Foundation Series Cybertrucks purchased after Feb. 28. It’s also advertising 0% interest rate loans or zero due at signing for Model 3s and discounts on older Model Y units as it ramps up production of a refreshed version. The more expensive Model X and Model S also come with lifetime supercharging.
