3rd party fast charging seems relatively unreliable and frustrating for users. Tesla could easily become the defacto fast charging provider for all EVs if they wanted to make this kind of move.

The Biden admin is spending the infrastructure bill money that Congress authorized. The US is (finally) acknowledging that Tesla (1) exists; (2) has built out a wildly superior fast charging infrastructure at a national scale; (3) has developed a wildly superior fast charging user experience than competitors; (4) Tesla repaid its Federal-backed loan in full and ahead of schedule, demonstrating that it has the competency to fulfill its obligations in an EV-sector expansion scheme; and (5) Tesla is solvent, profitable, and no longer a vulnerable upstart that might not make it through the year, much less be a reliable long-term partner to grow the EV sector.
