I keep reading that other car companies are ditching their standards to adopt the Tesla charger, but I haven’t seen anything that makes them better besides that they are more widely available.

The main advantage is availability. Tesla’s cars and chargers are also well-integrated; you just plug in the car and it tells the charger how to bill you. Other chargers need separate apps to activate them. Depending on the agreements Tesla has to get other manufacturers to use their charging connector, they might be equally well-integrated. The Tesla connector itself is also a little nicer (it’s smaller and the shape provides more obvious guidance about how to plug it in), though I don’t think that’s a factor in adopting it.
