This is what Tesla fans say, but the actual reasons they give are weak.

The advantages of CCS: It supports 800V today, it supports V2L/V2H/V2G today.

The advantages of NACS: It's smaller, which nobody cares about except Tesla fans.

V2x is a matter of protocol, not the connector.

The advantage of NACS is that it has a working network of chargers, and plugs in effortlessly.
