The main concern for me is that this may very well allow Tesla to gatekeep the entire NA EV/EVSE market, since they still control the patents around NACS, and their pledge has carve-outs allows them to exclude pretty much every major player for one reason or another. (I am also assuming that adapters well be relatively available in the 2+ years til implementation, so the CCS2-equiped fleet isn't left out in the cold) If they were willing to release it under an OSHW license with a non-revocable patent grant, I'd be fine with it. I agree that Tesla superchargers do tend to provide a better UX than their competition, some of that is vertical synergy, but a good portion of it is the competition just not being up to snuff.
