I agree and this is why I think there will be explicit details in the Model 3 owner's agreement (and maybe even sooner in the Model S and X agreements) that clarify the terms of use.They can send all the notes they want about whether or not a person is not being cool, but that is meaningless from a contractual viewpoint.
How often is occasionally? Is it based on time or number of miles driven?
What is the penalty for doing it more than occasionally?
How cool are you allowed to be if you are forgetful about charging at home and also have an unexpected trip?
How long is long distance travel? 30 miles each way? 100? 214?
How is it fair that a person who lives in an apartment gets free local supercharging but someone who has a garage doesn't? They both paid the same amount for the car.
Remember when CostCo used to take electronics items back for any reason forever? It didn't take too many people returning their 5 year old HDTVs for a full refund before CostCo finally eliminated that perk. They still have an awesome return policy, but not as generous as it once was on electronics items. If Tesla feels that people are "abusing" the Supercharger system, then they will need to formalize the policy a bit more than they have.
