So where's the advantage when that happens?

...right after you buy the $1000 charging adapter to convert the Tesla proprietary connector to the CCS plug on the BMW and all the other brands that use CCS. My hope is the other 3rd-party DCFC networks in NA get on the stick and increase their expansion to support. |
Tesla to J1772 adapters are around $160, not $1000. The main issue with the Supercharger network right now, is that they only recognize a Tesla vehicle, which could be changed with a software update. So if they open up their charging network, a $160 adapter would be all you need, and if you are buying an $80,000+ vehicle, and cannot afford a $160 adapter, than you have zero business buying said vehicle.
