Kara… that’s a head scratcher bec. as of Dec 2023 Tesla NACS design became the national standard and Tesla tech has an effective monopoly in charging. Maybe just a delay while they figure out the grift?
The better EV manufacturers in the USA better get to the Oval Office and start jumping on the puppet in charge’s desk. The UAW should be leading the pack!
Trump thinks he's a genius, and no one will see him trying to eliminate Musk's EV competition. Trump isn't just putting his finger on the scale he's put his entire lard butt on the scale.
Another policy to make the rich richer at the expense of ordinary Americans. Every single exec order punches down at the already powerless. Brown shirt Bullies.
I've been struggling with how Musk's overall mental state isn't part of the dialog around what's occurring. Trump may have abnormal personality, but Musk appears extremely mentally unwell and yet we've basically turned over the running of our country to him without that being seriously discussed..
He's got the same wingnut brain that your uncle on Facebook has. I'm not sure if you define that as "unwell", but it's certainly disconnected from reality and represents a poor understanding of how complicated the world is.
State industry here we come! Weird how Republicans don't see the free market implications. It's almost like those 40 years of raking Dems about unfettered markets was just bullshit steer govt money to *their* donors.
I’m an #EV owner (not a T) and it already enrages me that we can’t use their public charging stations but they can use any public charging spot. We’re at a tipping point for #EVs and should have a choice. Fuck these pathetic, silly people with no clue, rampaging through our dreams of a better way.
Nearly all automakers in North America are switching to the Tesla-style charger connector. You should be able to get an adapter to use a Tesla charger soon, if not now. P.S. - this should not be read as a defense of Musk (I hate him). Its just an FYI.
And most EV manufacturers have adopted the Tesla charger so it actually makes sense to install Tesla chargers. I agree this is not a pro musk post. We bought our Tesla in 2018 before he went crazy and dangerous
All this is about is the funding for the deployment of new chargers. Its not about compatibility. The Biden administration incentivized compatibility by making it a qualifier to receive Federal $$ for charger deployment. It worked and the industry moved toward compatibility. Now that $$ is at risk.
What’s funny is how far in the future China is on EVs. They have drive thru charging stations. This administration wants to destroy progress for their oil buddies. Screw their own grandchildren.

“…car sales are way down in France, down by 6%. And sales of Teslas in France? Down by 63%.”
Second biggest EV sales in Europe are in France.

I'm guesding the answer is yes, but let's make it crystal clear for the people in the back.
