The fact that Musk doesn't promote or even allow non-Tesla owners to charge electric vehicles at Supercharging stations demonstrates his tendency for monopolization, at the expense of mass electric vehicle adoption rates. Musk would sooner see his employees living and dying on Mars than fix carbon emissions on Earth.

> Musk doesn't promote or even allow non-Tesla owners to charge electric vehicles at Supercharging stations That's changing slowly: https://electrek.co/2022/05/18/tesla-expands-supercharger-pilot-program-non-tesla-ev-owners-european-countries/ https://electrek.co/2022/05/18/tesla-expands-supercharger-pi... But it has been hypocritical for Tesla to claim that its mission is to "accelerate the advent of sustainable transport" while also blocking other EVs from its chargers. The next thing Tesla has to do is put CCS plugs on its North American chargers (the European ones already have CCS type 2 combo plugs): https://insideevs.com/news/585238/elon-musk-ccs1-plugs-coming-us-superchargers/ https://insideevs.com/news/585238/elon-musk-ccs1-plugs-comin... And then Tesla might as well put CCS inlets on its North American cars. The European Teslas can use any charger on any charging network with no need for an adapter (Model 3 and Y anyway, S and X are still stuck with the old modified type 2 inlet and use an adapter).
