In USA. In Europe there is such a law, it’s why Tesla never bothered with the bullshit they do in USA. In Europe tesla is just another EC, no infrastructure advantage, because everyone has access to Tesla chargers, by lawI doubt it. No law says they have to open the network to anyone. Even the government incentives only require one other company with access to infrastructure (the last administration worded the qualifications for the billions of grants as "EV charging not locked to a single vendor", so Tesla + Ford definitely qualifies).
But I don’t think Tesla has any interest from restricting any company from using their chargers. In USA they abused the lack of regulations on the matter to become the default. Now that they are the default, it’s time to get the profits. After all, the more people charge, the more money they make as a charger operator
