John Sergeant, a Tesla owner in Seattle, said Superchargers in his city are already overrun with demand and that opening up the network to others will compound the problem.

Once the lines get too long it’s time to go back to ICE car elonmusk

He has to do something the public is getting tired of his stuff. Throwing a bone out.

isn’t Tesla being pressured by the government to do so?

Makes perfect business sense. Tesla no longer dominates the EV market. Money is money!

Isn't wait time the obvious perk that comes with owning an EV? Why so surprised?

There’s a certain etiquette in using charging spaces that doesn’t exist with ICE cars: 1. Parking in a charging space and using the slowest charging speed 2. Not moving once fully charged

So that it can get federal funding, again

They ar doubling the network size no one is worried

Tesla continues to build its economic moat based on NetworkEffects. NfX Tesla Supercharger $TSLA

Anything to print Elon's name, yesterday it was a 'recall' or what normal people call a wireless software update lol

any stories on the emails at Fox? You know, where execs and hosts talked about how BS the guests and stories they pushed were?

Excellent idea.

Hey, get over it. Better than a diesel pickup parked in that spot.

Only a person with a LOT of time and money would buy an electric toy for transportation.

No problem in Europe due to the open network: the electric cars driving long distance are anyhow only the Tesla ones.

'There goes the neighborhood!' No more power networking at the charger.

Not too happy about it but whatever 🤷🏽‍♂️
