Subject: Re: The Trouble with Elon
“The Tesla network was opened to Rivians as well as Ford EVs last spring. All Rivian owners have been supplied (by Rivian) with the necessary adapter, and Ford will sell you one for $230.”

Even our lowly Chevy Bolt can charge there with an adaptor.

I think Elon’s gone beyond all that. He’s into autonomy. Robotaxis will need to charge autonomously so the current charging network isn’t much use for them.

I’m in the market for a new car and there is no way I will buy a Tesla. Irrational? I don’t think so. I don’t want to give Musk any of my money, but mainly I don’t want anyone to think I in any way support the man. Secondarily, I don’t like everything being on that central screen. It’s a poor ergonomic design.
