There's zero people that are worried about NACS except Tesla fans pretending the connector is a meaningful component. Every CCS equipped EV owner in North America is aware, or will be aware, that adapters from NACS to CCS Combo will be available.

CCS went from being a major player to an afterthought

The NACS connector uses CCS. So. Not quite an afterthought.

Gas stations will have chargers and probably be just as common if not more so.

I watched both of those, and this thing is laughable. The best thing it will do is immediately identify the operator as a clown.

Still a poor purchasing decision.

The EPA doesn't test the EPA range, the manufacturer does. So it's entirely possible to cheat, and it's likely you've heard of some famous cases of cheating. Maybe a case involving VW and emissions?

Tesla's EPA estimate is the most out of line with real world tests whenever any independent organization tries to recreate the claimed range, and that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone given Teslas long history of bending the truth. They also have the most egregious "correction factor" for their range test that I've seen any manufacturer adopt.
