As the list of superchargers available to non Tesla owners grows around the world I appreciate that Tesla will generate more money, not only from additional superchargers being in use for more of the time but its a big positive for those considering an EV because its a complete package that others don't have, - but its like an instant gratification satisfied, whilst in the long term this is going to cost them dearly as loyalty to the marque will be damaged especially if Tesla owners are queuing to charge whilst Non Tesla's are on the chargers.
From my personal perspective my 2020 Model 3 is a brilliant car with some rather crap autopilot software that Tesla/Electric Jesus has no intention of fixing for anywhere outside of the USA.
As the model has developed over the years, the removal of features and equipment has gone a few steps too far for me to be interested in buying another Tesla even though the Highland does look visually a big improvement - and all reviews so far seem to indicate it drives better and quieter too.
My car has been fault free, but I don't rack up the miles, just 9600 so far and its absolutely pristine - so potentially this car will last me for many years to come.
I do have a plan in my head though. Most of my journeys its just me in the car, therefore I don't need a car model 3 size, and perhaps the rumoured model 2 would suit me - IF I like what is offered when the time comes though I suspect even more features will be stripped out to achieve its market price.
As the superchargers open up to non Tesla and other manufacturers of EVs are producing cars that rival the Tesla in terms of affordability, desirability, build quality, - and in some cases are better equipped with a more traditional layout, just the fact the Tesla supercharger network will be available will undoubtedly tempt people away from Tesla and to be honest I'm one of them, so a non Tesla with the use of the superchargers in my mind is the best decision ever and opens up the greatest choice.
