The quote is wrong.
First of all, supercharging was never 'Free' - it was a $1,000 addon option (at purchase, or $2,000 later) for a long while before finally being made standard. (The hardware was integrated into all models shortly after launch, but cost money to activate)
Secondly, they killed the unlimited free charging program for new cars as of this year. (April, I believe was the cutoff for delivery of vehicles with unlimited supercharging)
The motivation for killing the unlimited free charging program seems to be partly people who would never charge at home, instead always charging at superchargers and often leaving cars parked for hours in busy locations, and the increasing commercial use of the supercharging network (by taxi companies).
