As someone with an EV that also was sent a free NACS adapter, I have never once needed or desired to use Tesla's chargers, even on long (thousand mile) road trips. I understand that more options is always better, but I don't think buying into Tesla is in the cards for me.

My first EV was a Bolt. My experience with Electrify America and EVGo and others was atrocious. That's why (among other reasons) I switched to Tesla in 2020. Maybe they're better now but I'm not looking back.

That's fair. I really haven't had many issues with EA, Rivian, or EVGo. There's a lot of others in my area that I haven't tried yet as well. I would much rather use anything but Tesla at this point.
