At least Tesla eventually allowed other car companies to use their connector.

True, but we don't know how many strings are attached to that. The Tesla connector is going to be made 'open source', but that doesn't mean anything in terms of it being free to use or permissable. I hope it's being done in good faith but The Dipshit has something of a record to the contrary...
