It's a bummer that they're going with the tesla charging port rather than the port that every other EV manufacturer is using.

Why? In North America, there are significantly more Tesla plugs around. There are significant advantages to how quickly it can charge, how easy it is to use, packaging, and price.

The legacy manufacturers literally came together to try to tank Tesla while also trying to tank EVs.

The vast majority of EVs use the Tesla charger.

It is literally and figuratively the North American Charging Standard.

I literally don’t understand how the OP got so many upvotes for suggesting manufacturers use non standard ports.

It’s like arguing to make life difficult. It’s a fucking plug, I don’t want a different plug for every EV, that’s just dumb.

Not really - the Tesla charging port is far superior. remember, Tesla's designs beat the competition in EVs every. single. time.
