There's a fundamental flaw in this thread: I don't think anybody at Tesla ever suggested that free lifetime supercharging was worth $5,000 or that Tesla ever offered to sell it for $5,000 or ever offered a deal where your choices were free lifetime supercharging vs. something they charge $5,000 for.
Free lifetime supercharging is a nice perk for people who travel a lot or have no charger at home. But for most Tesla owners it's probably worth a few hundred dollars in cash, not five thousand.
