Allowing other brands access to Tesla super chargers

[cj3209]

How will allowing other brands access to Tesla superchargers be beneficial for current Tesla owners? I'm told Tesla makes no additional revenue from opening up their SC network.

I'm guessing it may provide some funding to open up new SCs but it will definitely start clogging up SCs with a lot of non-Tesla vehicles.

Who told you they make no additional revenue?

I'm willing to bet they'll make a ton of $$$ from non-Tesla users.

The articles I've read are clear that Tesla makes no money directly from these agreements with other brands. I've wondered about that. Does Tesla charge more for non-Tesla owners to charge at a SC?

There is already a 17+ page thread discussing this exact thing, here:

Tesla making HUGE mistake with Superchargers

we don't know whether that will consist of opening up all stalls to CCS, or more likely, just some. All V3s will open up to CCS. V2 can’t.

I'm waiting to throw my money at a Tesla DCFC. I want to drive up into the notches up north but zero charging except Tesla beyond the Lakes region.

I think I know why Tesla is doing this and it's probably already discussed in another thread. The single largest hurdle for prospective EV buyers is range anxiety and lack of charging infrastructure. If tesla chargers are opened up to everyone, it creates (1) more money for tesla to build more chargers; (2) more potential customers to buy tesla vehicles. That's the bottom line.
