Scenario 1's "Charging at home will take 8 hours. It will clearly take too long." is questionable
Scenario 1: Your low on charge and you've got a full day ahead of you of driving. Charging at home will take 8 hours. It will clearly take too long. Local supercharger is near by. Yay or Nay?
Scenario 2: I've got unlimited supercharging and I'm going to supercharge anywhere I damn well please including my local supercharger. Yay or Nay?
I see this topic in various threads so I decided to start one dedicated to this issue.

Don't disagree with the thread express your opinion, it's a question not a statement. I'll post my response and you can disagree with that.
No, Tesla has made it abundantly clear that the purpose of the supercharging network is to accommodate long distance driving. You are abusing the system if you use it for local charging without a good reason for doing so.
In what way did they make it "abundantly clear"?
If what you are saying is true, shouldn't Tesla have had us sign a policy statement regarding limited use of SC at delivery? Or at the very least, have this "abundantly clear" policy on their website regarding FUSC not being FUSC? Maybe have their salesman tell that to prospective buyers instead of telling them the opposite, that they should use the SC as much as they want?
I thought part of the reason I was paying $160,000 for a $70,000 car was to support the SC network? I don't use SC, but unlike you I wouldn't shame someone for taking advantage of a feature they were sold.
