Yes, that would be if you exclusively charged at superchargers.
I have never done that I would guess most people charge at home because of
convenience.
My supercharging is less that 20% of my charging.
I suspect you got your vehicle way below market value.

In my PG&E service area, once you are over baseline consumption the
minimum charge is $0.35 per kWh. So for me that charge would be well
over a grand per year.
My 2013 S used to have unlimited free supercharging, but the previous
owner had a fender bender on the right rear quarter panel and as
result, Tesla disabled all DC Fast Charging.
This means that even the CHAdeMO converter that was bought for the car
is now useless.
Luckily I am an experienced EV'er so I always plan ahead and almost
never need public charging anyway, but last year the wife and I were
planning a 350 mi one way trip (Bay Area to LA) and despite having an
abundance of DC Fast Charge to choose from along the 5 Freeway, we
were looking at a minimum 1.5 hours stop for AC slow-ish charging
(hopefully 48A because my S has the dual charger and can go up to 80A
despite no public charger of that speed is available). Minimum 1.5h,
which I would only reach if I drive constant 55MPH (and no Airco) on
the I-5 which can be... hairy because ALL traffic is going 70+ there.
I have considered pestering Tesla to *at least* re-enable DC Fast
Charging, even if I can't use the Supercharging network, but I heard
from others that Tesla's method of disabling Supercharging is by
turning DCFC off in the car, which is... stupid and unnecessary, I am
*sure* that the Supercharging network can identify cars - how else can
they enable other cars to start using their Superchargers?
Unhappily yours,
Cor.
