#2Excellent news! Domino effect in progress?

#3Tesla owns the electric gas station! for now... Now that unity is achieved in the US, I think we're about to see an explosion in charging stations and designs of various charging hubs (drive-in movies's revival?) as Tesla won't be allowed to own the network 100% come soon.

#4Meh... shrugs
Just a niche automaker adapting a niche plug while the rest of the world has adopted CCS for its cars, enabling universal charging all over the place...

Ford and GM have also announced they are adopting NACS.

How often do you drive your car from North America to Europe?

Who else is going to invest in a fast DC network? The closest competitor was Electrify America, and they can't make the economics work. Tesla made it work by subsidizing their $1B+ global fast DC charging network cost out of robust vehicle margins.
Most EV users will charge at home, some at their place of work and businesses, with fast DC charging filling the remaining gap (people who can't charge at home or people on road trips/high utilization driving patterns).

In the US, Tesla + GM + Ford represent over 70% of electric vehicle manufacturing. Tesla represents the vast majority of high-speed charging stations.
Hardly niche.

#10Everyone saw that coming a mile away. Now prepare yourselves for an imminent announcement by Lucid sometime in the next two years.
