Not really, last thing Tesla wants is antitrust oversight for monopolistic practice.

Would be a bit ridiculous to penalise Tesla as a monopolist given they virtually pioneered the industry in America within the last generation.

This is just imagining future scenarios, but I don’t see an inherent contradiction. That’s one way to end up with a monopoly.

Sure? It’s just weird to set the precedent that opening up your standard means you’re now a monopolist.

The conversation is about what if Tesla doesn't open the standard to one company. An unlikely situation likely.
