The point is, the worlds car manufacturers have determined a standard for EV charging. Tesla even uses it worldwide.
Every Tesla sold now in north America is a vehicle that will require an adaptor to charge in the future - EVEN at tesla's own stations.

Tesla just announced they are opening up their charging design to the free market and even had the balls to call it the "North American Charging Standard"
With Tesla having a reported 70% of the current EV market in NA currently, this could possibly signal a heavier shift toward Tesla's standard from CCS in NA.
I doubt this will proliferate to the world however, as it's too late to capture China. Tesla should have open sourced this standard years ago.
