Excellent point about the supercharger network.
The brilliance of Tesla is that they took the regulatory credits they do not need (since they sell EV's) and sold them to ICE manufacturers who needed them. They used that revenue to build out the supercharger network, which pushed the ICE manufacturers further behind in the EV race.
One would think the big automakers would've learned their lesson, but no.
Now with Elon and Tesla about to open up the supercharger network to other manufacturers, they will undoubtedly charge said manufacturers to use their charging network. On top of that, they'll be charging the drivers of those competing vehicles to use their network. They'll take all of that revenue and even FURTHER distance themselves from the EV competition.
Now imagine you're a Mach-E owner and while you're sitting charging at a Tesla Supercharger for 30 minutes you've seen 3 Teslas come and go next to you because they charge 3x faster. It will be like a living advertisement for just how much further ahead Tesla is.
