For us to do so yes. For the government, it constantly breaks the law

Funny-ly enough you can block their signal. Issue is it's also going to block everyone within range

I understand for the life of the company. But it's not even my steam account. It's my child's who's currently -5 years old (give or take). I did create it on their behalf a decade ago to redeem the free games on their behalf and gift them games I think they'll enjoy.

And even if Tesla controls a significant portion of the charging infrastructure now there'll be others that build chargers with that standard with time.
And I'm sure there was some closed door agreement they came up with on pricing

It's a headstart for a robust charging network while other charging station companies build more to catch up
