I don't think this is a mistake for Tesla. They probably know that the next few years competition is going to get tough for their cars. Everyone is moving to EV. So how can you make money on this? Be the one providing all them the energy and charging infrastructure. It's a better business than the car themselves and are likely to have less competition due to the fact that car companies aren't going to want to build out the infrastructure themselves. They still keep a competitive advantage by having their cars have faster charge times due to having the latest charging tech.

> They still keep a competitive advantage by having their cars have faster charge times due to having the latest charging tech. Teslas are middle of the pack for charging. Hyundai's E-GMP platform cars for example (Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kia EV6, Genesis GV60) are capable of 10 to 80% in 18 minutes at their fastest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J46mG7I78Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J46mG7I78Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Cil3seCHM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Cil3seCHM

  Own a Hyundai Ioniq. The whole fast charging thing is cool but you also need to find a charger that can do it, reliably. Things are getting better on that front but it’s not quite as good as the Supercharger network yet.

  That's only useful if the fast chargers for them are actually available though.
