Not sure. We will have subpoena him/her and see if they will provide emails as proof, unless of course they have already destroyed the email server.
Not really apples to apples...
if my bank offered me a 30 year fixed mortgage at 3% and charged me accordingly for a year, but then says "whoops, we were supposed to offer you a 4% rate" I certainly wouldn't let them modify years 2-29 with this new rate without a fight.

Completely different as you have s signed contract in which they cannot modify your terms. The op has provided no such proof of any kind to show the details
Moderator note: Moved two posts to snippiness. As a reminder, attacking, insulting, or trolling other forum members is a violation of rules.
Thank you,

Read his initial intro again. He, all but, said it was a 'and we'll throw in..." from someone not entitled to promise him that. When it worked it's way through the system, it was removed. So, yeah, I'd agree with the op that said he was never entitled in the first place. But hey. let him hire his lawyer.

While I agree with your premise that free supercharging isn't nearly as valuable as many pretend, it's actually worth far more than $20 a year. Just take one 300 to 400 mile trip and you've gotten about $20 worth of free supercharging. We don't take many trips in our S because it's not our preferred car for long trips, but we do a few weekend trips a year, and each one would be around $40 of supercharging.
I'd say it's more like a $200 to $250 value on average.
Thanks to those that understand and see it from my POV. Others are clearly missing the point. There are facts that I'm not disclosing here for a reason but yes I do have proof that I have Unlimited Free Supercharging. I have to give it to Tesla for making it difficult though. In fact I spoke to a number of lawyers over the week but luckily someone with authority and logic from Tesla has reached out to me in time and is working with them to resolve the issue.
We all like Teslas for us to be on this forum. But the way I see it is I purchased the car with the understanding I'll have free supercharging (it is then up to my discretion to use it or not). To make the matters worse, this happened couple of weeks after my OA left the company. It's like Ferrari promising to give me free gas for 10 years and only to withdraw the offer a year after the transaction. Isn't that a bait and switch and hence a scam? I'm sure they were trying to clamp down on their leakages but they need to have a better way to handle these issues.
It's appalling to see how much Tesla is getting away by pushing inexperienced buyers through a quick delivery of defective cars (frequently with paint and panel alignment, contractual obligations are more rare) I can tell you that other car owners (namely Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, etc), they all have lawyers on speed dial. It's only when you hold them accountable will things get better in the future.

I'm estimating $1000-1500 a year depending on mileage. Vampire drain is the worse of my EVs (5-10 miles loss a day)
yes im getting charged - i was worried this was the case so i tried it out
yes, when i posted the original post, I haven't gone through all my documents (I took screenshots, SMS logs, email chains, documents downloaded on Tesla's website). It was just frustrating when Tesla didn't keep track of these on their side and straight out denied my request. They're working in such silos within Tesla that left arm doesn't know what the right arm is doing. In fact the person that reached out had those records and so ended up contacting me

let me know if you get any head way in this. Same thing happened to me, what I was told was 1st car had but since you changed the second one won’t. My sales advisor never made me aware and it was her idea to have me switch instead of waiting.
Should be simple enough.
The free SC offer was in place on the first car as the order date qualified. That car was rejected.
Was the 2nd car on the same order number/date or was it a new order?
if new order then no free SC as the offer had gone by then.
Also for the poster who mentioned this, it has zero impact on resale value as the offer at that time was not transferable.

That may not be vampire drain. Do you have Cabin Overheat Protection turned on?
