Because literally every single other manufacturer has agreed on a standard which Tesla refuses to adopt. They built their charging network without allowing other manufacturers to use it in hopes to completely monopolize the electric car market - once they failed that, they "offered" other manufacturers to completely abandon everything and use theirs so taht they could save face. It's astounding that this sub can see why this is awful with Lightning/USB-C, but somehow it's different when Tesla does it.

Considering that literally every single other EV agreed on a standard charging port that Tesla refuses to use, "dominating the charging network" is just anti-competitive garbage.

> I don’t care for anything negative posted about Tesla when the vast majority of EV makers aren’t remotely competitive or competent in their offerings.

Have you not been paying attention at all? The Hyundai Ioniq and Ford Lightning are both very clearly better cars, made from actually respected brands, for less money. How exactly can you say that Ford isn't competitive with Tesla when Ford is making cheaper vehicles of better quality?

Dams are often used as giant batteries.
