It's quite likely that you know more about this than I do, but I don't think that Elon Musk is going to stop clawing in every cent for miles around until he's comfortably and irreversibly in first place as richest person on Earth. If he thinks that he can make more money charging non-Tesla EVs, I assure you that it will happen. Personally, though, I don't think that's the case yet, and may never be. US EV sales other than Tesla are still less than spectacular, so it's hard to see Tesla spending the bucks retrofitting their charging points to support them. > They can (and are being legally required to) in Europe, where they have > already switched most of their network Perhaps not coincidentally, EV sales are rising much more quickly in Europe than they are in the US. And although the Tesla 3 is selling well there since they've finally reduced their EU prices to a more competitive level, Tesla is a relative latecomer (about 8-9 years late), and they don't represent the percentage of registered EVs that they do in the US. Regardless of EU law, allowing all EU EVs to charge at Tesla EU charging points is smart business for Tesla.
