This is hilarious. In the U.S. market Tesla decides to take their ball and go home rather than engage the greater auto manufacturing community in good faith effort to build common charging standards for everyone. Then they've got the wherewithall to throw a hissy-fit about being "discriminated" against when government endorses the "everyone but Tesla" standard. Which is already established in Europe to the point that Tesla has no choice but to ship cars in that area that support CCS! Cry me a river, Tesla. Your self-absorbed proprietary charging "standard" deserves (and will endure) a fate worse than Betamax.

- fgonzag 8y agoProprietary chargers losing does make it easier. Sooner or later, all of us are going to be driving electric vehicles, and I personally do not want to have to keep trying different places and chargers to find one that is compatible with my car. One open standard, please. Parking lots are going to become the new gas stations.
