So far, other than on the few MagicDock Tesla stations, Tesla has been insisting on plug-and-charge. I suspect it is to drive utilization efficiency metrics - a valid goal IMO, deliver more energy to cars in the same time. People fumbling with apps can be both frustrating for people and ties up an idle charger. Even worse if they have to call customer service. I've had Tesla cars for over a decade, never once had to do anything but just plug-in to charge at a supercharger. If you want to provide charging to the masses, you have to make it as simple as possible. It doesn't get any simpler than "just plug it in".Unless it is implemented like here in Europe. We can not use PnC as such, but need the Tesla app to start and pay for the charge. No complications at all and much faster than the set up time on Ionity.
