Tesla benefits in the short term because they already incorporate the charging technology which puts them ahead in the industry. In the long term, the entire industry benefits. This too is good for Tesla as it's a market leader and benefits if the industry grows. They have a strong incentive to continue to compete to gain market share as the pie gets bigger. This is also good for customers.

An EV without a charging network is worthless, so I'm sure that a good charging narrative is important to a potential customer. But, it doesn't stop there. Teslas make very impressive cars and have innovated not just the drive train but how the car is made. For example, the cars do incredibly well in safety tests.
