Prices on superchargers were raised: https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/12/17110904/tesla-supercharger-stations-price-raise https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/12/17110904/tesla-supercharg...
It's approximately $22 now, and more in places where electricity prices are higher. This raises your estimate to around $24,000 over the course of 300,000 miles.
The 400 kWh of free supercharging is only if you don't have a referral. Buyers with a referral receive unlimited supercharging.
This isn't an absurd number, either. There are commuters, salesmen, and others that simply drive a lot who easily manage 50,000 to 100,000 miles in a year. (There are hundreds of 2015 and newer cars on AutoTrader currently with over 300,000 miles). But you don't even have to drive that much for it to be worth it. The Model S has an 8 year powertrain warranty with unlimited mileage (which the Model 3 does not), over the course of which you save about $10,000 for every 100,000 supercharger miles you use.
