Tesla does not give it away, you pay either $2,000 (or $2,500 later) to have
the Supercharger enabled so you are "purchasing" energy in advance, for inter
city travel (between cities)
So, will you use 50,000+ miles of prepaid electricity?
(I have spoken with people who have trouble comprehending the differance of
10-20 seconds at home to plugin to charge vs "Oh boy, free electricity, i'll
drive 40-60 miles (hour), fill up for an hour or half hour at a supercharger,
drive 40-60 miles back (another hour or so)" who dont comprehend the cost to
fill a battery and focus on "free")
This is EV related in thats it's charging

I believe that is why
Tesla gives it away to its customers.
