Mercedes adopts Tesla charging standard, TSLA @ $283...

I knew it wasn't the perfect metaphor, but the attitudes of the incumbents are identical. The only reason any of the others survive is because Tesla lets them. And Tesla will. Their mission going back 10 to the beginning is to accelerate the transition to sustainability. Because they know they can't do it alone. That is why they're willing to share their patents cooperatively, and open up their charging network.

Not at all.

They're run by a greedy corporate baron with not a single thought for the public good.

Tesla does nothing at all for "sustainability." It uses words like that for marketing and nothing else. It's a veil. They are some of the worst polluters in the world, destroying natural wonders and spewing toxic waste everywhere they set up. They simply have the war-chest and political pull to keep environmental agencies at bay with various legal strategies and to negotiate trivial fines when things finally catch up to them.

Here, they published the spec's without making them public domain so can start charging for the use at any time, or can prevent any competitor from using it even after that competitor commits millions or billions to producing vehicles and/or chargers with those ports.

They just made it so cheap and easy for now that other companies are falling in line.
