Sure it's free; after you pay.
Current Tesla owners aren't getting a bargain; they have paid a premium to be an early adopter of the product. Sure, they get "free" charging for the lifetime of the vehicle, after already paying a very large sum of money for their vehicle. Electricity is cheap, and vehicles have a limited lifetime.
I wouldn't want the cost of "free" super charging wrapped up into the price of the vehicle. I'd rather pay for what I use when I need it, which in my case, would be very rarely.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. -H.L Mencken.
