Great experiment! Regarding the "1003 miles" consumed, is this the actual number of miles traveled by the car as would be read on the odometer or is it the estimated miles that Tesla uses in its range calculations (which are often inflated)?

"1000 miles" of free supercharging is 400 kWh of energy

Neither one. It's actually third conversion rate as I mentioned in the my initial post.
To summarize:
1) EPA rating: 326 mi / 72 kWh usable = 4.52 mi/kWh (221 Wh/mi). 1000 real-world miles should in theory require "only 221 kWh" of energy.
2) Supercharger: 2.60 mi/kWh. "1000 miles" used is 400 kWh of energy.
3) Actual driving: ~3 mi/kWh (333 Wh/mi) 1000 real-world miles uses 333 kWh of energy. (This one will vary person to person based on your driving speed, but generally nobody gets even close to the EPA efficiency figures).

For something worth about $100, I never understood why people went so gaga over this
Because it's always the small things that piss people off. You can get people to come to work at the weekends, cancel the annual merit increase, make them attend pointless team building meetings, but take away the coffee say, or close the patio where they eat lunch and you'll see them start to leave

A better system than giving 1000 to your customer and another 1000 to a random stranger would be to just automatically give 2000 to your customer
