They want to gather data. It has serious value.
The vehicle "talks" to the charger and exchanges data. Vehicle type.
Vehicle ID. State of charge. Battery health. _Lots_ of data is given to
the charger.

I´m curious how Tesla will do billing for non-Tesla vehicles. Will the

superchargers?) or will it be via app?
Dumb question, maybe, but assuming that the terminal is open to all EVs, why
do they need to identify vehicles at all?
If the user presents a valid credit card, or maybe an RFID card if you must,
then let him charge. Credit cards work just fine for gasoline filling
stations.
What am I missing here?
I also wonder if Tesla will disallow some vehicles (or certain models)
from charging on the supercharger network if something were to occur,
such as... a dispute with the other manufacturer?
Yeah, this. Musk scares me. I can totally see him doing something like
this, even if it means losing revenue.
He seems to get weirder and more unpredictable by the day. Watching him
flush ~$30 billion in value while making Twitter into his own personal
playground was quite eye--opening.
I really wonder if he's starting to lose it, maybe partly from overwork.
There'll be adapters to CCS-charge those new NACS Fords and GMs - right?
