I think the charging network is going to prove to be the iMessage of Tesla. By keeping it closed, they will be selling many more cars. In Europe where they had to use the standard port and open the network, there will be much stiffer competition.

That happened 4 years ago, and Tesla has done nothing but increase sales in Europe since then. I'm sure this will change as traditional car manufacturers improve their EV lineups. Europe in general also has a lot more options for the EV charging market so I don't think the SuC network is as pronounced there.

The Model Y was the top selling model in Europe in December 2022. EV or ICE. https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwinton/2022/12/07/model-y--...

It will probably make a bigger impact in the US. And the switch to a standard interface is holding up billions in federal funding so Tesla will probably eventually take the hit.
