Tesla opens up supercharger network

[Ignatius Reilly]

I'm new to EVs and not really reading updates or news about it but when I read that Tesla opened up their Supercharger network to other EVs! Long time news but they're talking about 7500 chargers by the end of the year and this is a huge deal for EV adoption. No more range anxiety for non-Tesla owners! But I'm curious, how will this affect Tesla owners? Will wait times get longer? And what about charging costs?

I hope they integrate third-party chargers into the nav system so that trip planning and preconditioning work seamlessly. It would be particularly useful if these other companies could utilize Superchargers.

I’ve charged my Lexus RZ at a Tesla Supercharger. It’s seamless, but busier stations could mean longer waits. Costs also vary, sometimes higher for non-Tesla users. It’s a win for EV adoption, but peak times may affect convenience.

It's awesome that Tesla is opening up their Supercharger network! This makes things a lot easier for EV drivers and should help ease range anxiety, especialy where charging options are limited.

But with more people using them, wait times might get longer at busy stations. Hopefully, Tesla will add more chargers to keep up with the demand.

I wonder how they'll handle pricing for non-Tesla owners. Maybe they'll charge a bit more or offer different plans. It'll be interesting to see if they give Tesla owners some kind of persk, like lower prices or faster charging.

@Ignatius Reilly That’s right, it said that starting 2025 but I haven’t heard any additional information about it yet.
