Is it? Then why is it that these cars charge faster than a Tesla Model 3:

And why is it that Teslas charge faster on CCS chargers than on Tesla chargers:

And why is it that the fastest EV cannonball run was done with a CCS car:

What would be best is if Tesla just went ahead and put a CCS inlet on their North American cars, like Tesla already does in Europe. The European Teslas are better cars purely because they support the open charging standard and can plug into more chargers with no need for an adapter.
Tesla's proprietary plug is a dead end. CCS Teslas in North America would gain access to an additional 4,566 charging locations with no need for an adapter:
