Would be an interesting pivot for Tesla to start as a car company, jumpstart the EV market in the US, sell the badge to another automaker and supply them batteries, and become the EV gas station

It certainly makes more sense for the name.

It wouldn't be a pivot that would please investors. It's inherently a near-zero-margin business (if you are making a significant margin, then someone will open one down the road and undercut you); many actual fuel stations only really survive on the add-ons (convenience stores, 'premium' petrol, etc.)
