You would think they would have learned that from the ICE fueling stations where the nozzles are a certain size for diesel and a certain size for unleaded, etc., because the fuel filler necks are sized the same across the board. Even your microwave uses the same type plug recepticle as your refrigerator and coffee maker.

Of course Elon kinda got there first with the major public charging stations, and I never could understand why everyone wanted to use their "own" style of plug-ins, instead of adopting a "standard" for public charging, whatever that may have been. I mean, I can understand the concept that you can control your equipment by making it fit your own cars for matched components, but c'mon...

I mean, even iPhone finally figured out that USB-C ports were really the best way to go to standardize across their equipment lines instead of using different ports for different Apple products. Derp!
