As a consumer, the Tesla network density and reliability are many years ahead of everyone else but it's obviously a much easier task than maintaining compatibility (much less optimal performance) with EVs from all manufacturers. It's also easier to pay for when your vehicle margins are as crazy high as Tesla's. Hopefully things improve a bit with financial help from the government, but it seems like it could get quite a bit worse before it gets better. It does seem like the EA network has started faltering due to either extreme weather or the increasing traffic that sky-high gas prices are starting to bring. Matt Farrah mentioned on his podcast having serious issues with his Mach-E on EA and got the same "there's a compatibility issue between the Mach-E and that model of charger". Kinda sounds to me like a standard canned answer they give when resetting the charger doesn't work.
Things are also far from rosy on the Tesla end, where the endless price increases never seem to bring improved vehicle quality. I've seen several people lately complaining their brand new 22 Model Ys have terrible quality and many weird issues that earlier models didn't.
