Opening the SC network to others....
- I don’t think this is beyond speculation yet, but I will play...after all it’s a healthy discussion
- As a greedy shareholder, I don’t always agree to the mission with Elon’s conviction
- I feel that the SC network is a substantial advantage to Tesla that is often under appreciated...I don’t want to lose this for Tesla and sales
- SC buildout has cost Tesla and shareholders valuable capital over the years, it’s hard for me to even imagine adequate compensation to be justified IMO
- I would LOVE for someone to share some basic math behind a typical SC and ROI. I think Tesla subsidizes SCs because the amount charged doesn’t even/barely covers the local electricity fees. What about initial capital and maintenance?
- As a Tesla owner, if I roll up to a SC without an open stall and VW or ? are occupying stalls, charging at an inferior (slow) rate....

- I *LOVE* SC network and don’t want to screw the experience up. Not sure how to open it up without compromising the experience I so enjoy. For some reason I am too emotional about this topic!
Think of eminent domain backed by the the federal government via a special bill for getting hold of land quickly - and doing zoning and permission at record speed. As others have noted Tesla executes very fast, but getting land, permitting and power are the things that slow Tesla down. Maybe 2 or all 3 of those will be solved by a massive new infrastructure bill.
Think of all the money that will be supplied if this really is a key goal. Not a huge concern for Tesla, but it will motivate other players (landlords, electrical companies, etc.) to move really fast - and not slow Tesla down.
So, given that the number of locations and stalls can quickly get larger, maybe double, there will be a lot of chargers left for you. You shouldn't have to queue a lot more than today. Though, ramping is notoriously bumpy...
I find it very likely that Tesla will increase V3 and V4 rollout to sort of compensate Tesla owners.
With V4 a new Tesla should be able to charge at around ½ the time of today, especially when doing top-of or boost charges (less than 50% full)
