Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO’s idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.

    IDK if you have an electric car or not, but in case you’re unaware, the non-tesla charging infrastructure is abysmal in the U.S. It makes Tesla chargers look as ubiquitous and easy to use as gas stations. All of those companies together have failed to even accomplish parity with Tesla. It’s sad.

        I couldn’t agree more. Nationalized energy production, maintenance, distribution, and control. No more stupid state-grid no-regulation shenanigans (I live in Texas)

        The adapter doesn’t matter, the non-tesla chargers are harder to find, way less reliable, no where near as high powered, and basically unmaintained.

          Fair enough. I think that the gov’t should pick one charger + one adapter to be the standard (Tesla or not) and then it should be made the standard and every company should be able to produce that standard with a minimal fee going to the company that created it (minus any gov’t subsidies given to the creator in the first place).

            Part of the problem is that the government did. The bill requires CCS chargers, but no one wants those anymore, since Ford, Rivian and others adopted NACS.
