Having a lot of experience with all 3 connectors and being an Electrical Engineer, I have to say Tesla's connector is superior to CCS or CHAdeMO. It's more rugged, cheaper to manufacture, and uses less space and materials. If Tesla had "opened" its standard before CCS was ratified, then maybe they would have had a chance at being a standard.
Too little too late. Now Tesla is going to have to add the clunky CCS connectors to its network at considerable expense.
