Yes, and I still understand why Tesla does that. The stresses a battery undergoes during supercharging are incredible and, as far as I am aware, there is no fool proof way to make sure things are in good enough condition. Tesla is relying on the initial construction of the battery pack for supercharging safety - it only takes one cell with damage to overheat and cause a cascade to nearby cells. The Model 3 has 4,416 of them.
To an extent, it even makes sense for FSD. If you're going to take on that much risk and liability, you don't want to rely on other people.
We need new frameworks to handle this kind of stuff.
