Yes Tesla should open its chargers to everyone before they are forced to do so. I know some Tesla owners like the exclusivity but I think it will benefit the brand more to open the chargers.

I don't see how. "yes, we can now subsidise our competitors?"

I mean, they can still charge the owners of non-Tesla cars. They should be operating the charging stations to sell charging, not to have an anti-competitive edge on the market.

If the experience at a Tesla charger is great, price is good, speed it good, you may be more interested into buying a Tesla.

If Tesla chargers continue to be only exclusive to one brand and take so much space in the parking lots on the motorway, not as much.

Ionity has a different pricing model for cars made by brands member of Ionity and other brands.
