>it's already the standard,

Not sure how you’re defining “standard” but given that Tesla has the major majority here, its connector is the standard most people are familiar with.

If you just mean, it’s something not proprietary that other manufacturers agreed on, then sure.

I mean it's something not proprietary that _every_ other manufacturer and _the federal government_ agreed on.

You can't reasonably say that e.g. USB is a standard and CCS is not

But that’s an empty gesture when the size is so irrelevant.

CCS is “a standard” but Tesla is “the standard” from a consumer perspective.

The same thing happened with apple lightning early on. It was far better and dominated micro usb. If they had opened it early during usb-c it would have just killed usb-c and been the new standard.
