Tesla still doesn't have a rival in charging network or software.
Having arrived at more than a few broken chargers the former is going to give them a lead for a good while.

Depends where you are I suppose. In addition to Tesla's network, Europe has:
- Ionity: https://ionity.eu/
- FastNed: https://fastnedcharging.com/en/
- Allego: https://www.allego.eu/
- GIREVE: https://www.gireve.com/en/
And more. All standardized on CCS type 2 plugs which is another plus.
Tesla was recently denied a government subsidy in New York because they're not offering CCS charging, which is fair enough. If they're not going to make it available to all EVs then the utility of the infrastructure is limited and they shouldn't get any discounts funded with public money:
