Eh the $1k of lifetime Supercharger energy per customer aren't very concerning for Teslas bottom line.
I'd be much more concerned they have to keep warranting so many batteries and engines. This guy got a new battery and engine at 75k miles, so they are pretty much down >$10k on his car alone. And he's far from the only one who casually mentions having the most expensive part of the car exchanged for free.
