It seems weird that they're suing them, and making such a big splash about it. Like you said it's doubtful they did this intentionally. I would think that some sort of out-of-court agreement would be made without going to trial.
It feels like there's political interest in prosecuting Musk companies, even if the lawsuits aren't very meritorious.
- jondwillis 3y agoNot a fanboy, but I mean listen to any of NPRs coverage of EVs. They almost never mention Tesla. Breathlessly claiming that EVs are gaining traction, only talking about <1 year entrants. Squirming, talking about how charging networks need improvement. Barely whispering that Ford et. al are trying to buy their way into Tesla’s network. It’s clear to me that without Tesla, warts and all, very little of the current EV adoption would be happening this soon.
- HWR_14 3y agoI thought Ford et al were being bribed by Tesla to use their network, as all new EVs sold after 202X cannot use a proprietary connector, which means it has to use the same connector as at least two other companies, to get subsidies. Same for new charging station subsidies.
