Tesla's charging is different because they created their charging infrastructure before anyone else. The first supercharger was built in 2012. Despite Tesla open sourcing their patents[1], other EV manufacturers used different standard

I agree with your general point, but the specific example isn't as egregious as you make it out to be. In the mid-90s, protocols for determining supported monitor resolutions were just coming out. The first widely-adopted protocol was

The motors in a Tesla can go up to 18,000rpm (20,000rpm in the carbon-wrapped Plaid motors). They sound pretty cool when you floor it.[1] Though once you pick up speed all you can hear is wind noise. 1. https://www.youtube.com&#x

I strongly discourage shotguns for home defense. Shotguns have high recoil, making them a poor choice for inexperienced shooters. Spread is minimal at typical room distances so you need to be just as accurate as with a rifle or handgun. Mos
