Yeah I read about that, I have only taken my mme on one small road trip and the electrify American worked great for me on the trip. To me I think the whole shift is kind of crazy the cost to switching the cars redesigning parts when as you said they have adapters available already I think it's there is more to it.

There is. Electrify America has been unreliable. Poor reliability, unable to deliver power at advertised rates, limited facilities at high demand locations.
I know but why change the port? Does that mean everyone is going to start using only tesla chargers. Don't you think when you add 10 of thousands of more vehicles using the tesla network. You dont think it will cause a problem. What I hope is consolidation on the charging networks. I hope with one app you can see them all and for them to work together to provide better coverage.

I know tesla started the electric car thing and they have a huge jump ahead building an Infrastructure to support their cars and for a lot of people that was the reason they bought a tesla. How has tesla been able to afford the cost of building out this network when none of the other ev companies have come close and some are a joke. Here is a thought for every ev sold the manufacturer need to give $XXX to build the charger network. Lots of manufacturers donate to charities already.

I had a last thought. I see now. It's like our road ways they take years to widen our roads and by the time they are done the roads are jamed again.

Kyle Conner saw the issue when he did his cross country trip. Had to wrap a wet towel around the connector. The average person would likely not notice the power drop.
C'mon, Kyle, that's NOT what they mean by 'liquid cooled cables'!
