Electronics360: "Elon Musk: Tesla charging stations opening to other EVs"

Very bad move Elon.

Imagine you're a Tesla owner and you're low on charge but a Tesla charging station is close at hand to save you but when you get there it's full of slow charging Chinese junkmobiles waiting to get charged up and there's an estimated 10 hour wait before you can get access.

As a Tesla owner you financed those fast charging stations which were part of the reason you bought a Tesla and now you don't have that fast charging guarantee any more.

Thanks a lot Elon, 10 minutes of humble bragging for you but it screws your owners royally.

As I understand it, that's not the plan. The plan is to make available surplus capacity where there isn't a Tesla (or several) in the area that may require a charge. So if there's 5 charging points on a freeway station and only one Tesla barrelling towards that station Tesla 'release', say, 3 of them to sell that capacity to other makes. As the situation changes as Teslas drive around the number of chargers available on the open market will rise and fall accordingly.

Teslas will still always come first. Which seems fair enough, company gains revenue and drivers of other vehicles in a queue get to watch as the Tesla drives up to the slot that's already been reserved for it. You pays your money and you takes your choice.
