    Don’t worry, they’d have to geoblock the tank lid, and they don’t know where your car is. Oh, wait…

  Tesla did that essentially with their proprietary charging. Then they essentially strongarmed other companies into adopting their standard.

    I was under the impression that their standard was objectively better than alternatives, so that was a net positive?

      There are upsides and downsides to it vs other standards, but the main point was that it’s a closed standard that no one else was showed to use (until recently), and so Tesla drivers had to go to Tesla charging stations, not the ones run by other companies or individuals

        that’s not true, there’s been adapters for Tesla drivers to visit other charging stations for a long time now

        For sure, not defending the road to get here, just acknowledging that in this case it worked out.

    I hate to side with ElMo, but didn’t that happen because they kick started the EV car wave? And apparently their solution was also the better option, or something to that effect.

      I think Nikolai Tesla did that a really long time ago.

  I’m vomiting at the idea because while it sounds silly, I have to remember kuerig convinced everyone that coffee pods were a better alternative then tried to lock it down so only official kuerig pods worked.
