Would you give up free supercharging for life?

Twice as much fun
Some other numbers TeslaFi shows me is that I've spent a total of 63 hours supercharging at 50 different superchargers, with the average session being 25 minutes. That's dwarfed by 1665 hours of charging on level 2 (but I don't have to wait while that happens).
I highly recommend TeslaFi if you haven't tried it. PM for a code to get a 4 week trial.
Free supercharging was a one of the reasons why I bought my model s. Considering electricity rates in Denmark and living very close to a Supercharger i dont think I would have "invested" in a tesla without free supercharhing. A few miles shy of 150000k I have pretty much never charged at home and I am aiming at 1000000k before I am done. My warranty is running out this year ( in 4000k, bought it from Tesla as a trade in, and have not been driving as much as I could). If I manage to reach one million kilometres without having too many costly repairs my cost pr kilometer will be lower than in any previous car, mainly due to free supercharging.

Right now it sounds like to me from articles I read today, that if you place an order or order a car and take delivery by end of month, you could transfer your unlimited for life of car to the next car you own until you sell it. Electrek.co
My answer is no not ready to give it up. Unless I could transfer it to next car only

For the amount of long-distance driving I do, it's a few hundred to maybe low thousands of bucks worth of benefit. Would I let that tail wag the dog of when to replace the car? Oh hell no. I'll miss it when it's gone, though.
That said, I have no plans to replace my (early 2015) car, and in fact just bought the 4 year extended warranty.

GO to Electrek.co the article is clearly marked posted either yesterday or today. Free unlimited supercharging for those who have it already with Caveats.
Are you hoping Tesla starts giving out these?
So, your answer is no? It's linked previously this thread.

Yeah, that's what I had seen on the Tesla website. I'm really torn about buying one now or waiting. I would probably save a little money by buying it now, but there's always the chance that Tesla will go bust and I will have wasted all of that money! I'm probably 2-3 years before having 50,000 miles.

Ok I read it. It says you’ll get free supercharging for 3 years. Nothing in that article says you’ll get it for life.

My wife's 2015 S still has it. I gave it up on my P3D+ for $5k. We do very little long distance driving and little supercharging. The economics did not pencil out for us. YMMV.

I would gladly take a $5k check and pay the going rise for Supercharging. I am 100% sure I would not be the one on that losing end if that deal. No psychological benefit whatsoever for me to say I have FUSC and that’s averaging 3,100 miles a month on my S100D
I'm kind of the opposite. I still don't call people (not counting business related calls) long distance unless it's an emergency or I have something important to say--even though I know it doesn't actually cost anything anymore.
We have free Supercharging on our Model S, but we don't go out of our way to Supercharge just to save money on home charging. We do, however, take road trips which rely on Superchargers.
The eight year battery and drivetrain warranty on our Model S is going to expire in December 2020. I would gladly accept a four year extension of that warranty in exchange for giving up free Supercharging.
