@Casey It's Musk that benefits from this because most companies which produce electric vehicles use the proprietary Tesla charging port. Every EV sold, irrespective of manufacture, makes money for Elon Musk. 🤑

Funny how a war on oil, makes the richest man even richer.

@Rastal @Casey look, I hate that asshat, but Tesla gets absolutely no payment for companies using the NACS port now - it's a USA standard now and there are no royalties payments involved

(It's fucking annoying that US cars will require adapters in other countries, but 🤷🏻)
