Tesla's reputation slumps as GM, Ford climb - Tesla ranked 62nd by reputation among the 100 most visible brands, tumbling from 12th last year and 8th in 2021.

This is true but misleading. When Musk invested in Tesla and became chairman of the board, they hadn't even begun development on a vehicle. They just had an idea and had talked with Lotus. There's plenty to dislike about Musk. You don't need to mislead.

Tesla rolling in his grave as a wealthy businessman buys in and claims credit for the work of engineers while branding it with his name.

Honestly that’s one thing I don’t mind. It’s a pretty solid design and it works well so why make changes just for changes sake?

They just updated one of them, I believe the 3. But that was possible when they had no competition.

That's a weird way of saying that all manufacturers will from now adhere to the NACS or SAE J3400 charge standard, further breaking down the barriers to locked in--or monopolized--charge networks. It's also a very weird way of saying that a common charge standard will further diversify stakeholdership in an already pretty diversified charge network stakeholdership ecosystem.

The plug is becoming a standard. There are still many more stations needed to increase EV usage for people who live in apartments or doing road trips. Not everyone is relying on them for providing charging. It's sad that they're the only ones who actually maintain their infrastructure
