Still new to the EV space (thinking of buying one), tesla owners should buy the tesla ones rather than this right? Even from a price perspective. Thanks

Yeah would recommend stick with Tesla ones if you have a Tesla. The auto charge port open is much more convenient.
Pretty much all home charger brands are switching to NACS (the Tesla connector). I would wait for those to hit the market. Also check with your local electric utility. They often have a website with rebates built-in to the price. I got my 60A ChargePoint charger for $150 from PSEG LI.
Tesla EV does not come with charger and no backup tire... crazy 😧
When I got my model s it came with a charger. This same charger now costs $250. I also paid $20-30k more than what the model s plaid costs today, they decreased the price.
I would rather pay that much less and buy the $250 charger out of pocket.
Also I have popped a tire, there's no need for a spare as Tesla will send somebody who will put a full sized tire for free.

I would recommend sticking with Tesla. The quality of their products and the service I have received is pretty good. And as somebody else mentioned - most if not all cat manufacturers are switching to the tesla charging port standard so I wouldn't buy something that might be dated in a couple years from now.
Most EVs don't come with one these days because charger isn't part of the car and you don't need one each time you buy a car. Also run flat tires has been a thing for a long time now even before EVs, you don't need a backup because your tire can go a good distance when flat.
If your tire was damaged beyond a simple puncture then most likely other parts of the car were damaged too meaning you can't drive anyway.
My Kia Niro came with a charger and tire inflator kit.
