> I can't help but feel like this is Tesla surrendering their biggest moat ... for questionable gain

If Tesla has a non standard connector much longer, it becomes a liability. It'll be harder and harder for them to sell cars that need adaptors everywhere.

I also don't think the Supercharger Network will be a moat much longer. As there are more EVs, the incentives for business to put in chargers gets higher. Teslas needing an adapter becomes a liability.
