Their year-over-year market share is declining sharply, however. They should have tried this move five years ago.
Even if Tesla updates the Model 3 & Y to be competitive on features, the sheer quantity of competition means they were never going to dominate the space. If they choose to keep removing features from their cars instead of adding them, I start to wonder what exactly Elon's vision for the future of the company is.

noting that you appear to agree with my assessment that they want to kill off CCS and force all carmakers to use their ports as a means of avoiding having to change their own supercahrgers, otherwise, no thanks, I own a new car with the NA CCS charger and it was a significant investment. I'd prefer my car not be "killed off".

unless they are compelled to do so in the interest of the public good so that "nearly half of electric cars" (currently already on the road) aren't trashed. or please make an adapter for existing CCS cars.
here's a vendor that appears to be planning to manufacture such an adapter. pretty hard to find, though. https://evadept.com/tesla-supercharger-to-ccs-adapter-guide/
