A company made a very strong bet on electrifying vehicles, and as part of that bet they invested very heavily in a charger network, which was very costly but also placed them in a position to control key parts of the infrastructure. It was a bold move, and it worked, kinda.

I think that's a mischaracterization. I don't believe Tesla set out to build the best charging network in the USA. It just ended up being that because of the ignorance and/or apathy of every other automaker and charging network provider.

You keep trying to make this into part of an ongoing argument you’re clearly having with someone else as part of some online side-taking.

Believe me, I'm not.

I’m not sure which side you’re on, or the other guys are on or what the dividng lines are supposed to be. As a casual observer with an interest only in the big picture ramifications, I legitimately could not are any less about that.

I was surprised at your usage of language which had a pretty clear negative connotation to my reading. I hadn't seen that before from anyone and was interested in your view on it because it was unique.
