the concept of "free" and "unlimited" will always reign superior to anything, especially convenience. people will go to great lengths to take advantage of products or services that are perceived to have any amount of value. the downside of that is waste. i can't recall how many times we just throw away unused taco bell sauce packets or carelessly stuff napkins all over our car. hell, i'm a klepto when it comes to hotel soap.
using the supply and demand theory, since demand is high, supply will be low. this is where all the haters come out. let's face it, the people complaining about others supercharging (when they can just charge at home) are those that HAVE to pay for it. nobody with free supercharging gives two $hits about a crowded supercharger. so what if the supercharger is crowded. too bad for you, you have to wait. unless there is a car blocking a cable or a car plugged in but at 100%, stop complaining and wait like everybody else. you don't get priority because you're just passing through on vacation, and you sure don't get the right to chastise anyone who wants to charge to whatever percentage you don't agree with. they got there first, they get to charge. busy superchargers need to be factored in your trip. think about the supermarket checkout for example. some people buy 3 things, some buy 30. You don't complain about why they buy so many things. It's going to take longer but you wait, and hop into the next lane over if it is faster.
regarding unlimited supercharging, there's no arguing how valuable it is. just like other features such as autopilot, smart air suspension, ludicrous, etc., it is a feature that will make or break someone's decision to buy.
The wife and I both drive an X with unlimited supercharging. She solely uses the SC network because work has her driving around 80-90 miles/day and she passes through at least 5 different superchargers. Not only is it convenient for her but it's free. She gets work charting done at the same time while charging for about 50 minutes. We have a 14-50 at home, so I use that because my commute is only 3 miles/day and i like topping off every night. some weeks i let it drain down to 20% and on the weekend we will bring the twins (call 'em dos equis) and charge together.
I personally wouldn’t buy it’s a personal choice.
If you are a car owner that will trade cars every few years, I say f-it supercharge if it’s convenient to you. Battery health isn’t a concern if you are gonna trade or sell in 2-3 yrs. but long term ownership I would be mindful of supercharging.
I feel like this is what the previous owner did to my P90DL, as it's range is shot (only 222 mi @ 100%) Since it's already bad, no reason to baby it and frequently charge to 90% at home or 95% at a supercharger (wasting another hour just for that extra 5% is just not worth it for me). The 95% allows me to toggle on L+ mode and have some fun going home (it usually gets to about 90% anyways by the time i travel the 4 miles it takes, lol)
in the end, it is all personal decisions and whether or not we place value to those things. people will place unlimited supercharging on different tiers of their priorities, but no one is "right" or "wrong". what's wrong is attacking someone's personal decision to choose their Tesla.
