Tesla, may be getting ready open their chargers to other EVs. What a gold mine that will be!

Wouldn't be at all surprised if after the TG weekend they shut it down temporarily to pave it. And after that, hopefully before too long, add a solar canopy.Wasn't expecting them to just launch it with a dirt lot
Since they already added the light poles, I don't see how they would add the solar canopy.

Their internet infrastructure certainly is. Take a look at their "Find Us" page, or this post from a couple days ago.
Opening up the Supercharger Network to non-Teslas
You will once Tesla opens the Supercharger network to anyone and everyone. don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. do you realize that the tesla chargers in the US use a proprietary plug unique to tesla? the expense of converting the chargers alone precludes this from ever happening

See Tesla's post from November 1st when they opened up Supercharging to non-Teslas at 10 locations in Europe:Their internet infrastructure certainly is. Take a look at their "Find Us" page, or this post from a couple days ago.

Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot | Tesla Support
Launched in November 2021, our Non-Tesla Supercharger pilot will continue to expand to new sites and countries in support of our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.
Hey all, we are about to take our first road trip this Wednesday (11/24) before Thanksgiving from the Sacramento area to Anaheim. Has the supercharger network along I-5 vastly improved since the 2019 Thanksgiving weekend? Those old articles reporting the several hour wait times gave me nothing but anxiety for this weeks trip but I find posts like this one about new sites opening and it does give me some relief. Thanks all and Happy Holidays.

Its much better (Firebaugh, Copus Road, and this site).
Tesla also has sold way more cars.
They're also anticipating crush load by offering free charging before 10am and after 7pm.
Holiday Supercharging | Tesla
Charge for free during off-peak hours at select Superchargers this Thanksgiving holiday.

Free Charging in California only? Is California REALLY the only state where people drive LOTS on T-Day weekend? I would love to take advantage but I am already in Seattle (that CHAdeMO adapter REALLY helped, all the old Electric Highway chargers are free right now).
I think I'll wait to check out this charger until after they pave it, but clever them opening it for this week. Gonna be a godsend for all of us traveling.

The point isn't to give people free driving on holidays. The point of the free charging during off hours is to shift some driving to help reduce/prevent queues at the Superchargers. There tend to not be Supercharger queues anywhere but in California.
Also note there’s a thread for discussion of holiday charging at various superchargers:

Holiday travel availability / congestion at CA Superchargers; possible solutions, complaints, comments, discussion
Pretty soon instead of traffic reports we’re going to need Supercharging line reports in CA. Hopefully Tesla has a real plan to eliminate the choke points soon.
