Tbf freedom of speech doesn't mean "a right to be followed by this one guy specifically"

(assuming you are reacting to my post) I agree but anyone claiming to be a "free speech absolutist" shouldn't be upset when someone posts things they don't like. I am also assuming the people he's unfollowing aren't the ones leaking the info, but if they are then one might understand him being angry at them about them leaking privileged info, sure. I figure they're just reposting what is already out there?

No I meant that even if they had a vehicle that was competitive with BYD (which they don't) then it'd be a short-lived victory since domestic competitors would be heavily favored by the Chinese government.

Isn't adoption of the NACS thing one of the major things tesla was looking at for making money?
Supposedly yes but it's kind of hard to tell if it was actually a good idea.

On one hand, having a proprietary charging standard that is WAY more adopted than everyone else's was a great way to undermine competing EVs and was a large part of why they were the only game in town to begin with. Is undermining their vehicle sales in exchange for more charger payments really a net positive?

On the other hand, the government was pushing CCS, so if they didn't standardize their connector then they might have gotten burned even harder in the long run.

At this point it doesn't even matter though since they need those chargers for their own cars, whether their competitors are on it or not.

Tesla probably doesn't make any money off its supercharger network. They have never clearly said what profit it brings in, and Elon very tellingly said they don't intend it to be a profit center. The pace of its expansion and the level of maintenance they give means they're probably spending an absurd amount of money. NACS and the automaker access to the supercharger network doesn't help them much and it makes demands on the network worse.

They would eventually though, right? I mean, they basically have a jump start on owning the new gas station. I figured that was the entire reason they got everyone on their network.

Kind of, but standardizing it also means anyone else can build them too.

They're almost exclusively built into existing parking lots at least, but not sure who pays in that arrangement.

Last time I was in Vegas, the normal chargers were free but either broken, occupied, or if available would take 8-12 hours to charge the car. The super chargers all worked and had plenty of availability but was costing something like $35 to charge it from 30% to 100%. But I guess the cost doesn't matter if it's literally the only choice you have to charge the car

Superchargers are the Tesla version of DCFC (direct current fast charging) which can supply power up to 250kW (or more in some cases). This a huge amount of power draw and need a special utility connection to set up. This will fully charge almost every EV on the market in around 30 minutes or less.

Regular chargers use AC power and can be hooked up on any normal residential or small commercial panel. These supply around 10kW and will fully charge an EV in about 8 hours.

Don't worry, you'll reap the savings by paying for electricity instead of dino juice. The cost is sure to decrease by leaps and bounds what with the dismantling of nuclear power programs worldwide, a rising world temperature, increasing populations, growing ev adoption, buttcoin farms, and every company under the sun buying hundreds of millions of dollars of computer equipment to run llm stuff

You should rarely, if ever be using a fast charger, I've owned EVs for almost 7 years and used them like 3 times and all of those times were my BMW i3 driving it across down for no particularly good reason..

People that complain about EV charging are the same people that run their cars to almost empty all the time or somehow, explicably to me, manage to run out of gas on occasion.

We were on vacation, our hotels regular chargers were all full, and the ones across the street were full. So went to another lot a mile away which had more broken slow chargers and open fast chargers
