@aphyr I just sold all my $TSLA stock because of this decision. With the recent departures of brilliant people, I no longer have much long term optimism for Tesla’s dominance.

Ah right you can get a CCS adapter for Teslas. I've never seen one at a CCS station, but maybe it's gonna be more of a thing going forward!

@aphyr It took me like half and hour to remember Tesla in the USA have a proprietary connector (which they don't in Europe, they are all DC Type 2 and CCS Combo 2 charge port :D)

@clawfire I don't care which standard we end up with but I would very much like for us all to pick one 🤣

@aphyr I think that's very unlikely in the USA. I saw at least two major car manufacturers though it would be wise to embrace Tesla standard. Which they will have to maintain themselves now I guess :D

@aphyr Gonna be very annoying for those of us who don’t have Teslas!

@john @aphyr Tesla opened up their proprietary charger plug to be a standard (the "North American Charging Standard", NACS) last year. There's a major coalition of EV makers who have both announced they will be adopting the new port and charging standard (SAE 3400) and have also started laying the groundwork for their own major charging network.

I believe the current version of NACS "speaks" CCS and so they're technically compatible, though the presence of an appropriate adapter is required.
