Perhaps they brought it back since the number of superchargers will exponentially increase by the end of the year?

I want to add my slightly different case here, looking for opinions:
I have a 2014 S that I bought second hand through private party, and it has unlimited supercharging of course. My 'My Tesla' page doesn't show anything about the supercharging thing that you all have on your accounts, I checked and refreshed a couple times.
My question now is the following: if I upgrade to a new car, will my unlimited supercharging transfer over to my next car, as I'm in the case of free supercharging for life of the car + my life, or wont it be transferable?
I need to use superchargers often, so I might be tempted to upgrade to a newer model 90D... Those glass roofs also look so damn cool, and I'd love some new seats (have the old 1st Gen seats).
Buyers from private sellers in the future will have to be very careful lest they get a nasty surprise by this policy.The pre-1/15/17 cars still have supercharging for life. The post 1/15/17 does not transfer on resale.
So they still did maintain a difference.
They are walking a thin line...
Electrek clarified again - further proving how Tesla miscommunicated this in epic fashion. It's still not entirely clear but I thinK:
1) Order before 1/15: Free SC for vehicle
2) Order after 1/15 but before 5/19: Free SC for owner (includes subsequent S and X)
3) Order after 5/19: 400 kwh per year UNLESS one of first 5 owner referrals, then free SC for vehicle
Model 3 excluded in all cases.
Delivery date irrelevant as well EXCEPT in situation #1 where delivery before 4/15 qualifies you for free SC for vehicle and delivery after 4/15 qualifies you for free SC for life.
Possibly a couple of the Tesla hater states, or their laws forbid these types of giveaways, are my best guesses.No prizes for Ohio and Virginia? What's up with that????
Except that owners who bought prior to January 15th have Supercharging also following them. We get both the car and the owner benefit, at least from what I can tell.For vehicles ordered before January 15 of this year, free supercharging follows the vehicle. What's different is orders after January 15, 2017, free supercharging follows the OWNER and not the VEHICLE. So if you ordered after the 15th, took delivery, and then want to sell that car, it won't have free supercharging for the new owner. However, if you take delivery of another MS or MX, you will have free supercharging.
1) is wrong. FUSC is for the owner, subsequent Xs or Ss and the resale of their current vehicle.
Per myTesla for each of my vehicles:
"You have free, unlimited Supercharging, including your current Tesla and any new Model S or Model X you purchase. If you choose to sell your current Tesla, free Supercharging will transfer to the next owner.
I think it is as follows (as more or less mentioned elsewhere, given the multiple threads): there are four scenario's:
.... the unlimited supercharging on your car remains transferrable ("for the life of the car") and in addition you get unlimited supercharging (for your next car) on any new S/X you buy (the unlimited supercharging of that car will however not be transferrable - see the strategic use of the word 'current' in the second sentence)
You are defintly grandfathered as you should have had unlimited SC before this chaos errupted. The website remains offering 400 kWh p.a. because the FUSC go-forward promotion is by referral only. So use your own referral code (or mine ) if you chose to trade in. Otherwise you remain in good shape and it should be noted in your MyTesla account, half way down the page under "Supercharging". Confusing as all get up, isn't it?I went to the Tesla site to price a 75D and a 90D. It said "access to our Supercharger network" with 400kWh of annual credits.. Nothing about free, unlimited.
I am not sure about this whole grandfathering business. It does not seem to be applicable to us. I was logged in, to boot, so it knows we have owned our S for three years.
3. You haven't ordered a S/X yet, but you tomorrow do so via a referral code: good for you, your car (but not you) will be getting unlimited supercharging (not transferrable).
I finalized my order last week. I'm going to be mad as hades if I can't get unlimited SC!!!!
This news does not make me very happy. This just means that we cannot ever trust Tesla at their word. Over 25,000 Teslas were delivered including mine, in Q1 because people believed that unlimited Supercharger was going away forever. And now they are bringing it back less than 2 months later. Tesla is sacrificing their integrity, simply to boost Q2 sales, it's not worth it in the long run.
Definitely a US centric observation. Just visit Hong Kong and check out the queues at the SCs. Also, it is rare to be on a major road in HK and not see at least a few Teslas.Very shortly, there will be so many Superchargers in existence, that people will look back on all the hand wringing and fretting over Supercharger lines and wonder why so much effort and energy was expended for absolutely no productive use.
Take Barstow as an example. There will be 20 stalls lit up any moment. It will be physically impossible for Tesla's to arrive so quickly that lines will form. A Tesla car would have to exit I-15 every 60 seconds to Supercharge at Barstow. Even on a Labor Day weekend in 2018 after there are 200,000 new Model 3's on the road, there will not be more than one Tesla car driving down I-15 every minute. When it starts even getting close to that happening, Tesla simply drops another 20 stalls there.
