    I can’t wait until they reveal what they have up their sleeve for the super charger network

    For a sense of perspective:
    • 2022 - all Teslas can charge at CCS-1 fast DC chargers with an adapter (at least 3 suppliers)
    • 2019 - my Tesla charges at CCS-1 fast DC chargers after installing 3d party kit and adapter
    • 2017 - reports are Teslas can be modified for CCS-1 fast DC chargers
    To the limit I have tested and others reported, all Teslas since 2017 can have CCS-1 fast DC charging in addition to their built-in J3400 (NACS). Having charged with a borrowed CHAdeMO adapter, this is pretty much every fast DC charger.

    Some cities, companies, and utilities have install 65 kW ChargePoint stations. That is the ChargePoint's business plan to sell and service both their J1772 and CCS-1/CHAdeMO chargers to property owners.

    So yes, I would love to see more Tesla owned and operated SuperChargers. But I would prefer to see Tesla sell SuperCharger stations and J3400 conversion kits to others. Tesla's profit margin is in manufacturing.

    I just think musk has had another brainstorm that’s going to disrupt the entire industry again

    Now stories about Tesla/Elon selling the supercharger business. Maybe false. But interesting.

    The most compelling reason to own a Tesla was the charging network. If Elon is flushing that down the toilet, what's left?
