It's crazy to think we were the first vehicle company to strongly support the adoption of the Tesla connector, and now here we are with every major name using it. Smart engineering always perseveres.

Used both.
NACS is sleek & not something an SAE Engineer whipped up quickly, just to create a base gov standard.
We called the fast charger version of SAE 1772, on old Aptera Forum, “Frankenplug”. 🤮
We didn't get that. Instead, all we got for it was 1 streamlined charger & an ego fueled fascist.
It should be used but also be seized from Tesla entirely as a forfeiture asset.
And sure but Ford is dead and Elon and others using the Tesla plug to throw consumers and workers on both sides of the Pacific under the bus is ongoing. Apples and oranges.
