Tesla's overall mindset will likely keep their charging technology and approach ahead of other networks. Faster charging rates, more charge stations, better maintenance. Complying with a third party standard means they will not be able to lead.
In my view, they've always seen charge stations as a profit center and opening to other makes improves the return on that investment. As long as Tesla is selling all the cars they can build, this would be a net positive to revenue. It's also consistent with Musk's overall goal of hastening the transition to renewable energy.

For example, Ionity's chargers are 350 kW: https://ionity.eu/en/design-and-tech.html https://ionity.eu/en/design-and-tech.html Telsas even charger faster on CCS than on superchargers: https://insideevs.com/news/507489/tesla-model3-charging-faster-ccs2/ https://insideevs.com/news/507489/tesla-model3-charging-fast... The Lucid Air will have a peak charging rate above 300 kW. The Air is on a 900 volt battery platform: https://www.lucidmotors.com/charging https://www.lucidmotors.com/charging
