I'm not in favor of any and everyone having access to Tesla chargers. But I'm thinking non Tesla cars should have 25% of the charging spaces that's clearly marked other. And Tesla spaces marked Tesla Only.
I'm not selfish but I travel a lot and already have to wait for a charge sometimes from just Tesla's.
Any charging rules to others?

Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. There’s lots of Musk haters out there that won’t buy Teslas, but will buy other EVs if they can access the SC network. If Tesla has to open it up to everyone to get closer to their goal, they will (and are).

I don’t mind it, we get to look at those pathetic F150 Lightnings and R1Ts and shake our heads as we sit in the greatest truck ever made.

I've often run into a 3/4 full 150KWH SC. That's like a 1.5hr charge! My solution is to carry a CSS adapter and hit up the EA charger if available (Most are within a few miles of the SC). What bothers me more is a Ford or rivian taking up 1, 2, or even 3 spots so yeah Tesla just jumped on the opportunity before addressing the charge port location issue

I admit that I would like to see Tesla charging stations for Tesla and now it appears that the Federal subsidies for EV's is over.
