> Complete mistake by Tesla.

Another way to spell "fuck the people, why should their life get better ?"

Half joking aside, supercharger usage might save Tesla if their vehicles stop selling well enough a few years down the road. People's taste come and go, infra will always be needed.



> fuck the people, why should their life get better

But the lives of many people are getting better and I bet the net effect is positive, even if you as a Tesla driver (like me), now has to wait a little longer.


Totally agree. I'd posit if chargers become a bigger profit center, Tesla will also have even more business justifications and capital to extend the network and improve it over time.


Totally agree, having your own in house Chevron as a backup plan just in case, seems like a smart choice in the long run despite the trade off. Plus gives you a reason to build new stations in markets where your own car sales don't justify it.


Yeah. You're right. They probably crunched the numbers and determined all the pluses for them outweighed the exclusivity plus.
