Or maybe people actually knowing that it is quite easy for high market share to be considered prima facie evidence of anti-competitive behavior. Tesla is clearly targetted just as is SpaceX. As evidence consider Amazon reseller contracts being considered such, Apple's App Store conditions referred to as such,It's people having no idea how anti-trust works...
The Supercharger evolving dominance is easy to view in that light.
We should be realistic in that political will can produce definitions that can make behavior become actionable.
That has already happened:
Regardless of the eventual outcome following appeals this obviously violated several traditional limitations of such suits, not least being that the plaintiff had never been employed by Tesla.
Now, considering anti-trust actions, any study of recent cases will reveal that several of Tesla successes can be construed to be anti-competitive, including pricing power, refusal to sell through dealers, using reservations as sales and service points serving nearby USA urban areas otherwise prohibited to them...and more.
This is NOT intended that such actions should be taken or that they would be meritorious were an impartial arbiter have decision power.
The legislative history of the Sherman anti-trust Act is instructive, pointed directly at J P Morgan's favorite device.:

This post is a warning to those who imagine Tesla can long continue to dominate BEV's as it has done, much less BEV charging.
The future for TSLA will be bright, but nothing monopolistic can or will happen.
Fundamentally that is why Tesla gives free patent licensing with 'good faith', allows competitors access to Superchargers and offers to share technology.
Tesla is not so naive as are many of us.
Confusion: we really shoudlstop talking about how good it will be for Tesla to drive others out of business. That is very, very dangerous rhetoric and is harmful to the Tesla mission and our own interests.
