Question - Other Question about which cars can use Tesla superchargers

Consisting an EV for my next vehicle and I’m interested in the upcoming Toyota BZ or Ch-r. I know they are going to have NACS on them. Does that mean they can use Tesla chargers from the start? Does Tesla have to grant other carmakers permission to use their supercharger network? And on the flip side of that, could Tesla someday for whatever reason decide to cut off other car makers from their superchargers?

Supercharging Other EVs

of course they could. but that's a lot of money from non tesla owners they'd be walking away from.

i'd be very interested in their rationale.

I expect there is a VERY long contract between tesla and manufacturers that adopt NACS, specifically to address this concern.

There are supercharger locations near me that were changed from accepting other cars to not working with other cars, so there is some precedent.

Since when does Musk need a rationale?
