Not necessarily. Using the plug doesn't imply that you have to use Tesla's charging network, even while still using Tesla's charging hardware. Tesla is already working on deals to sell their super/ultra-fast chargers to others like EG Group and BP. Expect the number of those deals to grow. I would argue that this will benefit those with with Teslas. As Tesla scales up to meet the demand for their charging hardware, the cost should drop while availability increases. Moreover, as the number of independent networks that use Tesla's charging hardware grows, there will be additional pressure/leverage/lobbying on the government, electric companies, etc to provide the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that theses charging locations require. Tesla has on numerous occasions asserted that this is one of the most difficult parts of growing their charging network in places that have the greatest demand. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/uk-petrol-station-group-eg-buy-tesla-charging-units-2023-11-13/ https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/uk-pet... https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bp-boosts-ev-charging-network-with-100-million-order-of-tesla-ultra-fast-chargers-301968787.html https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bp-boosts-ev-chargi...
