Not to mention the infrastructure upgrades it would take to mass-install enough plugs in every condo

A big part of why the tesla plug was chosen as the north american standard plug is the lack of infrastructure upgrades needed. Apparently it uses exactly 1 phase of a commercial electric line so it needs far less infrastructure to add charging if there is commercial electric already. For example they'd be able to install just an outlet on every streetlight.

You don't need one for every condo. Though that would be awesome. It's not like you need to charge every day.
