@elonmusk Sorry, but this is a disastrous long-term strategy. Tesla has its foot on the throats of all the other EV charging networks. Now is when you double down and dominate, you don't pull back. Bad move.

Bold move: Ford gives its dealer network 6 weeks to decide if they want to sell EVs or not, and if they do, they need to accept no-haggle set pricing and invest big $$ for charging infrastructure. #FordModele

Free EV charging sucks. It sounds great, but the unintended consequences will stifle EV adoption if OEMs don't stop offering it. It ruins the already challenging public charging experience for many people new to EVs. @ElectrifyAm @RateYourCharge
