    I doubt it actually. My guess is they got the tesla charger adopted for all US electric cars, so now they can just be greedy and have others build infrastructure instead of them. They can invest nothing and still get chargers made for them now. Why would we expect Tesla to continue spending money now?

      Chargers earn reliable income? They even selll subscriptions. I have no idea whether they are profitable or not but there’s no reason this couldn’t be a nice steady income indefinitely

        This just means other companies can hire people that already know the standards better than whoever Tesla ends up with.

        It might give Elon a month or two of added delay before other companies start using the Tesla chargers.

        But it is absolutely more of Elon turning this chapter of his life into a sequel of Brewster’s Millions, and like all sequels - it sucks.
