  > Their words don't matter Which is precisely why the action of opening up their charging network to competitors is so interesting. It is not just words, it actually for real advances the cause of electrification and moving us away from fossil fuels.

    It isn't interesting. All EV charging networks should be built to common standards and all brands of charger on all brands of charging network should charge all brands of EV by default. The fact that Tesla built their network to be closed and incompatible in the first place is the problem. That action is antithetical to their supposed mission. Europe's EV infrastructure is much further advanced than North America because it has been built to common standards. All charging networks charge all brands of EV, even Tesla's network. Tesla's chargers are behind the state of the art. They still perform poorly for 800-volt cars. It's still the case that most of them have annoyingly short cables. It's still the case that most of them require a Tesla account and an app just to do something as trivial as charge a battery. But, slowly, gradually, Tesla's chargers are improving to meet the minimum expected standard.
