I've argued that point before!
It sure doesn't look like Tesla is pivoting to charging, they just fired the entire supercharger team. Cynical Fuzz sees that as they knew if a different charging standard dominated, they'd have big(perhaps devastating?) costs switching. So they offered everything they could to get everyone to switch to their standard. Now that they have avoided the issue of incompatibility for their vehicles, they don't need to be in the charging game and all 3rd party chargers will be Tesla compatible.
I also don't see storage as something you'd really dominate in, because their is no big technology advantage and it's going to be a priced like a commodity in the future. From what I have read, they are already one of the most expensive, and name brand only goes so far.
