Oh the tesla crowd is gonna be saltyyyyyyyy
I was honestly curious about that, I imagine theyre not going to be too thrilled when they pull up and theres a Mach-E at the charger...
Fuck em, just like Apple fanbois 
Its smart business. I'm sure Ford has to pay some sort of licensing fee, which sets up a nice steady revenue stream at 100% gross margin for Tesla.
On the flip side, Ford pays licensing fees and gets access to the best charging network and doesn't have to incest significant capital in building out a network.

This will be good for Ford owners and bad for Tesla owners. I knew it was only a matter of time before something like this would happen. All the other manufacturers need to follow some sort of standard, but they all thing that their plug and charging system are better that the others for some reason.
My brother in law recently bought an electric Kia and said he's been cussed out by Tesla owners for taking up "Tesla" charging spots.
Fuck 'em.

tesla and ford owners fighting for charging stations on thanksgiving weekend
That really depends on where you are. They definitely fill up around here. Indy doesn't have a lot of charging but a decent amount of EVs. Apparently DC is really bad.
This, a standard should have been defined as a requirement from the beginning. Now we've got so many different standards that the people who own those stations would drag their feet on converting them if a standard was made official.
I just saw this post on the one Tesla group I'm on. The original poster was complaining, but then all the Tesla people seemed to jump on him saying its a good thing for everyone, so as a whole, they don't seem too salty at all.
In some major metro areas, maybe, but how many Ford EVs are there really out there? Not many.
These Telsa groups are filled with the biggest dinguses on the planet. I swear most of them have never owned a car before.
Everyone should have standard ports and a standard coloring scheme notating max charge rate, similar to how gas has colors/octanes.
This way you can color code charge stations so a car that charges at a slower rate is easy to identify for the owner based on the charge port color. Charging stations could also color code to allow longer parking spaces for slower charging vehicles and "fast lanes" for high charge rate vehicles.

I have seen people whine about how the chargers are used. So there is usually at least 1 charger off to the side that's designed for use when towing a trailer. So you can pull forward into it. Well people thag don't have a trailer use it a lot. Then the trailer pulls in sideways at the other chargers and blocks 4-5 other chargers. There is definitely not any sort of etiquette, as most people are new to it.
Sounds no different than when I wait at a gas station with only one person using it because the dumbass liked the only pump with a yellow handle. There is no etiquette or common sense ANYWHERE.
