There’s an easy way to do this. Buy out the contract. Companies offer foolish lifetime packages all the time. I think it was American Airlines offered lifetime unlimited first class flights. They can’t claw this product away from the few remaining die hard users, and they only sold a few dozen of the things. I expect the reason for wanting out of the deal is the same. Airline seats and supercharging time share a scheduling problem. Having even a few customers with unlimited rights to a limited resource creates intractable scheduling conflicts.

> Having even a few customers with unlimited rights to a limited resource creates intractable scheduling conflicts. Could you elaborate on what you mean by "scheduling conflicts"? I'd assume the problem simply that these people are using the free things more or longer than anticipated: Tesla has to pay more for the power usage, the airline has to give seats it won't receive extra money for. What does this have to do with scheduling, or how does some other scheduling problem have an even greater negative effect, as you seem to suggest?
