If Tesla doesn't let others to use their connector, they're doing themselves a huge dis-service. We need to start off with one standard. Imagine if every petrol station had connectors for different cars, or you had to look for a special station that fit your car? Nightmare.
Well, you can't get the free power if Tesla legally prevents you from using the connector because they're looking to create a near-term advantage. That's the key. My comment was that Tesla would be harming themselves by not allowing others to use it. Others would come up with a standard and now you'd have all these Tesla vehicles with a non-standard connector.

If I were running Tesla, I'd let my competitors' cars come and charge at the station, then sell them lunch and snacks.
