First - Tesla had to open charging to other manufacturers to receive additional governmental subsidies. Second - Tesla will get addition 7 plus billions grants to add additional charging infrastructure. Third - Tesla will add at least another 10 to 20 billion in charging revenue with at least 30 percent profit to the bottom line. Forth - Once all the other manufacturers signs on, they can offer other services… IMHO

Plus if their standard takes hold they don’t end up being the next BetaMax of history.

It's definitely a case where network effects are good for everybody. Like you can travel across say lower Michigan on the Supercharger network right now, but there's ~2 planned stop routes from the Mackinac Bridge to Detroit, it's tenuous, not some huge lead.
