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.
As someone who has followed Tesla since they only sold their Roadster, I can say your statements are from those who tried to close the company down by shorting the stock.
Tesla agreed with the US government to make their charging network open to all EVs and equally. What more do you want?
Yes, I don't find anything in those statements to be correct, and I've been consuming every piece of information on Tesla since 2016, when I put every dime of my savings and retirement in it (you don't do such a thing on a gamble or just because you like a company....it involves hours of research pretty much every day).
