I disagree. SuperchargING is free. There is an option to purchase for the 60 to have the CAPABILITY to use a superchargER, and it's included in the base price of the 85. But with no marginal, ongoing, or per use cost, it's appropriate to say that supercharging is free. Paying for the hardware and software to make it work is different than saying there is a cost for supercharging.
If you buy a new iPhone because you want to use Siri, would you describe the Siri service as having "no per use charge" or being free? I think most people would consider it to be free.

When you enable supercharging on a car that doesn't come from the factory with it, they don't install hardware or software to enable it. You don't drive it to a service center and you don't download a software update. Every car already has the hardware and software. The supercharger itself just recognizes that you haven't paid.

I don't believe this is correct. The "switch" is flipped on the car.
How is this relevant? Lots of computer software is enabled by "unlocking" it when you pay for it. It doesn't matter if it's there waiting to be unlocked if you decide to buy it, or has to be downloaded, 60 owners who buy the option are paying for the car to have the capability to use a supercharger. Just like Siri is free on a properly equipped iPhone. Sure you could have paid less to get a phone without the Siri capability, but that doesn't mean the Siri service shouldn't be described as free.
We are coming to the end of Tesla's big push for a cross-country supercharger route. Since we are still as excited and impatient as ever, we need to start sleuthing out other locations Tesla's map says are Coming Soon or 2014.
Unknown Coming Soon locations: Squamish BC, Indio CA (may be replaced by Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon), Plymouth NC
There are two 2014 locations in that I am particularly interested in since I live in the SF Bay Area: somewhere on the 101 north of Santa Rosa CA and in the area of Manteca CA near the intersection of the 120 and the 99. The latter is critical for travel to the Yosemite/Sequoia area.

I'm at the San Juan Capistrano, California Supercharger site. They picked up the trash and put black plastic bags over the charge stations. The stall closest to the street still needs paving.
71 chargers!
When did you move here from LA?
