We have all paid for it. About 2k of the purchase price was factored in to support superchargersLimit the free Supercharging to 20 minutes and charge them for overage.
Superchargers aren't cheap, something has to pay for them. Tesla is still generally cheaper than the other charging networks.

Its based on Tesla. Before free supercharging was around it was a $2k option to add it on to your car.What is the source of that claim?
It's pretty obvious that the cost/car or the SC network depends upon the volume of production as well as whether you got free SC'ing or not. Since Tesla has been ramping production upwards faster than the SC network buildout, the cost/car has been falling.
The supercharger network is huge and the vast majority of SC'ers are still barely utilized but they still need to be there for the network to be effective. So the cost of increasing SC network capacity is not proportional to the increase in Tesla sales. It's less.

We pay electricity here at 8cents kWh (day or night) and tesla is basically charging 15$ for a 60 kWh charge... especially in winter when the charging is slower and usually unavoidable. I usually charge at 60kWh / hour in winter time. So the cost of electricity for Telsa is 4,80$ for the electricity and yet they charge 15$. Our public charging stations here are, for the most part, much slower but a lot less expensive then supercharging. Tesla could easily charge the equivalent of 8$ for a 60 kWh charge and make 200% profit. They could easily adjust depending on the electricity prices to have something a little more reasonable.
That is indeed quite an increase. Model 3 is selling like hot cakes and I bet Tesla is faced with a dilemma. Superchargers are packed and I dont think its cost beneficial for them to add more. I suspect superchargers are quite costly to install. Im sure they have done the math.I don't agree with the way Tesla is increasing the cost for ALL of the superchargers. I agree that they should not be free because people abuse of them however it doesn't make any sense to increase the cost of supercharging like they did in Quebec.

With these changes most new telsa owners will go on the public charging network which will make all other EV owners mad.

It's sad. In many areas the cost of driving a Tesla and filling at a station is now considerably higher than driving ICE and filling with gas.
Being that Tesla's site bragged over and over about the gas savings and it now costs more, I don't know what to think other than adoption will surely slow. I don't think people want to pay more per mile than driving their old car. I already do charging at home here in MI (.18). Costs me $18 to "fill" and I would get 170 miles range (winter). Gas is $2/gal. I only need 8 gallons $16 to drive that far in a full size car.
