There is something to be said for going your own way when everyone else seems to be bogged down in committee.

It feels like there is some convergence happening now, and hopefully we end up with more standardization, but I gather Tesla remains ready to stay independent if the rest of the industry doesn't get their act together first.

Also, would you want to launch a tech company product like the Roadster with 5 year old technology?
In the tech world things change so fast that having the connector being slogged in committee might have been the best thing that could have happened.

The coupler consists of:
• Two pins for power (ac line 1 and ac line 2/neutral)
• One pin for ground
• One pin for signals related to the amount of current allowed for the particular vehicle model being charged
• One pin for preventing the car from being moved while charging is under way.

That pin will have to be attached to some really strong cable!

LOL!.... Obviously it is a signal pin to keep the car electronically in "park" while charging.
