Elon Musk Promises a Lot of Tesla Features. A Lot of It Never Comes Through | Digital Trends
Tesla CEO Elon Musk showed off a new feature on last week: A talking car. But will Tesla owners ever see it in real life? Announcing new Tesla features with delayed follow-through, or none at all, has a bit of a pattern for Musk. Here are a few more of his broken promises.

If you look further, there is no mention of in which countries. The articles I read believe they are talking about Norway and maybe other parts of Europe. Looking like a "too good to be true" announcement?
If you check VW group promises vapor ware are even more, I have my doubts that never going to happen for several other reasons. A) will alienate Tesla owners with more car in a network already congested in some areas. B) What he can possibly gain opening his networ, it’s what it makes the difference now that more EVs with decent performance are coming to the market. C) what Is the minimum charging capability by KW/h to allow charging and go in 30 min? D) if Elon wants a change he has to make other rich automakers to build charging networks at the same pace Than Tesla. Now VW is to sell Electrify America, they just don’t care about infrastructure, all is done was due Diselgate.if it happens great but I assume that you are unaware of the many unfulfilled elon proclamations.

Volkswagen to sell stake in charging unit Electrify America -sources
Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) is to sell a stake in its electric vehicle charging unit Electrify America, two people familiar with the matter said, as the carmaker looks for outside funds to build infrastructure for battery-powered cars.

I don't really care about VW group issues, I am only concerned with porsche taycan issues.If you check VW group promises vapor ware are even more, I have my doubts that never going to happen for several other reasons.

in the US tesla's use of their proprietary plug will render this difficult to accomplish. in the rest of the world using the CCS plug it could as simple as rewriting some code to open the superchargers up to other cars. there was an instance where a guy over there hacked their charger and was able to get a non tesla charged
VW group owns Porsche, no difference.

Elon Musk does have a reputation for saying things and not following through on them.
So for all we know nothing will happen.
It was probably to boost his stock price a bit.
So now that this feature has been deployed in the Netherlands (Tesla opens charging for third parties in the Netherlands - electrive.com), it's clear that it is not just another "Muskism". I'm looking forward to it. A drive in Feb 2021 from Denver to Phoenix was a nightmare trying to use the EA chargers – slow, not working, had to call Cust Svc almost every time, etc. Having driven my Model S from Denver to Sacramento and back, that experience is completely different using Tesla's Superchargers. I still have a year left on the 3 years' EA free charging, but for long distance I would happily pay to use a Supercharger. Just need the CCS adapter!
