An owner of a Model S has received official confirmation from Tesla that ALL Tesla's now have a hard count of how many fast charging sessions are allowed (Supercharging OR via CHAdeMO adapter). Once the hard count is reached, max Supercharging speeds are PERMANENTLY reduced FOREVER.

Wow! If I was a Tesla owner I'd be pissed! Never being told about this restriction up front. Supercharging not what it used to be, eh?

wow.... I foresee see a bunch of rich attorneys and doctors piling onto a class action suit to get batteries replaced that hit this limitation.

On the flip side, I wonder whether I can get a used Tesla cheap after it has hit this limit. I can live with level 2 every day for my commute (heck, I could go 3-4 days between charges if I had do).

I had the same fear in 2013 with level 1 vs. level 2 on the volt, but a phone call to the volt advisor assauged my fears, and I plug in at level 2 every day.
I do hate ELR owners though.......... :D
Hey, I want an ELR, but am just looking for a valid excuse to go buy one. Had I not jumped the gun on the volt, I'd be driving an ELR right now.
