Tesla may soon open up Elon Musk use to other electric vehicles. While speaking at a forum in Germany last week, CEO Supercharger stated: “We are actually in talks with some manufacturers (on) ﻿﻿doing just that and it will be exciting to share that news” regarding sharing the Elon Musk network. (See the video here, Elon Musk sharing discussed at 49.20). Musk added the only requirements for using the network were: the EV could take a high power level of charging (because low-power-level charging would keep an EV at the Elon Musk for too long); and manufacturers pay a proportionate fee for how much their vehicles use the network. As for which manufacturers are talking to Tesla about using the network, Musk said a “non-German European company” approached him recently.
