Stop misleading people.
The opposite is happening. Tesla is opening their network to other brands.
Ford and a few other car makers have already agreed. In new cars made from 2025, you can go to the only properly working charging network, plug in the car, and leave with no credit card hustle. Basically, like Tesla had forever.
It's a shame other brands didn't adopt a much better Tesla adapter as a standard.
It's much more convenient and light.
I've seen how adapters work; they work badly and are glitchy. So, if someone buys a car with an old port in 2024, they will start to see lots of pain in 2025.
- clouddrover 3y ago> Tesla is opening their network to other brands. By implementing CCS. How do you think it works in Europe right now? They all use CCS, both cars and chargers. Tesla included.
- maxdo 3y agoNACS is protocol agnostic. Cars in Europe have different plugs. Tesla will use their protocol and support CCS on chargers. What Tesla offers to other brands in North America is much more advanced. New cars will be able to see on the map how many stalls are available etc. Payments integration etc. It's a far more deeper integration and I guess that's the real big deal that needs to be standardized. Tesla got the best-in-class charging experience, and finally, in 1 year, other brands can have somewhat matching capabilities.

- _ea1k 3y agoI'm not sure what you mean w/r/t the adapters. It sounds like most manufacturers will just use Tesla supplied adapters. I doubt they will be very bulky. They might even be easier to use than native CCS1. :)
