No, it's not $500 per charge. In fact, with the Tesla, charging at Tesla- owned high-power charging stations is FREE!
He was doing some rather esoteric math that applies to only one specific use of a Tesla. I had to read the post several times to get it, but I think he's saying that "IF I had this particular commute, and IF I bought a long-range Tesla, and IF I only drove it to work, and IF I only used it for a year, I'd be paying $500 more per day for range I didn't need." That's a lot of IFs, but the fundamental argument at the core - that you should buy only as much EV range as you really need - is sound.
