    Notice that I said Electrify America. A lot of the Tesla charging stations did have room, mainly because the software routes people to available stations.

    Non-Tesla car companies are making matters worse by piling onto EA and giving away 2-3 years of free L2/L3 charging. That creates incentive to just go there. Many people don’t have Teslas, nor can they charge at home. Those all go to EA and create 2 hour wait times.

    The Tesla charging experience is one of their key advantages. However, that’s going to change once they open it up to all cars, which they are. OTOH, Musk is reportered to have fired the whole charging station team, so maybe it won’t happen.

    Replaceable batteries swapped in 5m makes for a good user experience. Nothing we’ve said here changes that fact.
