Only for Model S owners, it will presumably be phased out sometime in the next couple years.

Why would it be? Once they're built out, the ongoing costs of maintenance is relatively cheap. It becomes a HUGE up-sell for their future vehicles if the free charging is only offered on the more expensive versions of the X and future cars.

It's also only for 85KWh Model S owners. The ones with 60KWh batteries don't get free charges.

They do get free charges - but for a nominal fee, they have to upgrade some adapter (is what Elon said).
