Blip: Apparently this showed up briefly in the Tesla app then disappeared. They might be soft launching or A/B testing the app experience.

Interesting. I just installed the Tesla app, and there was an icon to "Charge Your Non-Tesla". However, when I select this and search, apparently, there is one private location in Santa Monica with 12 destination chargers that's open to non-Teslas, and that's it for all of California. Will love to see this rolled out with non-Tesla access to the supercharger network eventually.

A couple screenshots to go with above comments.

this is all mostly uninteresting in North American until the physical access issue and it's solution is disclosed

is tesla?

a: going to add CCS connector cables to supercharger locations (they've done this in Europe with two cables at some supercharger stalls (use only one at a time)
b: provide/sell a CCS adapter?

the billing is an issue and that is solved via the Tesla app

but there is a physical plug issue that needs to be worked out…

I'll wait until we hear about that.

@daveo4EV That’s discussed in the article, also here. ‘Magic Dock’. Corny name but it’s a retrofit CCS adapter that attaches to the Supercharger.

Launching not launches. Date TBD.

still mostly vague on detail - but yeah a Tesla --> CCS adapter fits - although having one at each charger seems problematic - better to sell one to interested parties…

my Son's Tesla CCS adapter works great with his Model Y - and EA (when it works) works far better with the Model Y than it does with my Taycan - starts the charging sessions much much much faster than my Taycan…{facepalm}

It sounds like this unit will be the inverse of Tesla’s CCS to Tesla adapter. From (wishful?) speculation elsewhere, they might sell the adapter to individuals as well as attaching them more permanently at Superchargers.

It would be nice to have the Supercharger network as a backup. They're well spaced apart and plenty of stations. I'd still prefer using EA where I can since the rates are (significantly) lower here in CA and we're not limited in charge rate. I'd like to see what the discounted rates are with the $0.99/mo. membership. At the very least it'll help drive up the EV adoption rate more broadly.

I'm very excited by this - mostly because Superchargers actually work most of the time - which is the opposite of EA…

Hoping that Tesla's continued expanding presence in Austin and surrounds might spur faster access in TX but who knows!

Wonder will that remain through when a wide range of EV models/manufacturers start to use them?

The proposed $0.99/month is a lot cheaper than the European price for the optional membership:
