This will be a great social experiment...even more so when there are 500k Model 3s around, competing with the Model S/X crowd for the same superchargers.

Paying $10 for an extra 20 mins to finish their coffee may be worth it to someone in a $100k Model S, less likely for a $40k Model 3...

Maybe Tesla should consider the following: All the time passed the point your battery is charged is deducted from you next charging session.

For example: Your battery charges in 30 minutes, but you stay at the station for an hour (30 minutes of charging + 30 minutes of idling). Next time you go to a charging station you get penalized for a certain amount of time (percentage of you idle time). Of course, this will probably never happen, but it would get the point across!
