Also its worth mentioning that none of this was 'free' to begin with. Tesla could afford to run these stations with no cost to the customer because the customer just paid $100,000 on a car that had enough margin to pay for perks like these. With the Model 3 coming, I imagine competition from Chevy and others will keep prices low, so that means a cooked in premium to pay for the Supercharger network isn't in the cards anymore. Personally, I prefer things this way. Whenever a resource is free, it means the average users are simply subsidizing the heaviest users, who are often abusing the service, like ride sharing and taxi services are now. Metered pricing with a lowered up-front makes a lot more sense.
