That's disappointing. I can't wait to see how Musk attempts to screw with everyone once all major companies are using his "open" standard.
SAE is ratifying NACS as an automotive standard. Once that process is complete Musk won’t have control over it.

I believe Tesla has already released ownership of the NACS patent as well.
I'd bet anything he still tries something. Don't forget what an enormous moron he is.
I believe Tesla retained patents on their automatic payment system. So other cars can use the NACS, but they have to use a shitty app (which is currently a MAJOR problem with BEV chargers) because none of them have figured out how to install a credit card terminal on the dang things.
Exactly.
