As a Tesla owner I agree they've accomplished a lot, but they've also promised us the world, by yesterday.

Until something is delivered, and bug-free, I don't really believe anything they say. They've done a lot, but their word is next to worthless.

I totally agree. I don't think there would be a push for NACS from other automakers if it isn't better, royalty free, and completely open.

I have Starlink as well - over promised, and under delivered _but_ it currently still has no competition in my area.

The difference is that Tesla now has competition, but they did still have some good ideas. If NACS really is open and free, I don't see the big deal.
