    Eventually, yeah.

    In the past Elon offered it as part of a bundle, with the deal being:

    • You get to use the Tesla connector and superchargers

    • Tesla still retains all rights and ownership of the standard and can revoke access whenever they wish

    • You agree agree not to use Tesla in the event they infringe on your parents

    Unsurprisingly, nobody accepted that deal. I wonder what it was that prompted Tesla to have a change of heart? Were they expecting the government to step in and enforce a standard, a la EU, and they wanted to get ahead of it?
