I believe it’s due to the government threatening to take away certain tax advantages if Tesla didn’t allow SC to other manufacturers, but from a business perspective, doing so just gave away Tesla’s main advantage.
When people say Tesla has better EV tech, what do they mean? Is it the better phone app? I’m genuinely trying to understand. Isn’t the battery used in Tesla cars the same Panasonic or CATL batteries that are used in other EVs such as Audi, VW, Mercedes, Toyota, and ect?
The main advantage with buying an EV from legacy manufacturers is that you get better build quality and more comfortable ride. That’s why I’m curious why Tesla gave away its main advantage by allowing SC access to other manufacturers.
Despite the fud you hear online the ccs network is very capable and about to explode with nevi money. Now it inevitably will be a mixed ccs and nacs network.
Ultimately the supercharger network just isn’t that big an advantage anymore and was destined to be a disadvantage if they continued in a locked separate system. Tesla added the ccs communication protocol and opened the possibility of adapters, which is ultimately better for everyone.
