What actually stops other auto manufacturers from putting a Tesla SuperCharger port on their vehicles? Does Tesla's port do any authentication?

- ebbv 11y agoConsidering Tesla has opened up their patent portfolio, I think they'd be able to put the physical port no problem. But licensing use of the SuperCharger network probably involves some kind of agreement with Tesla.
- jfoster 11y agoHence my question. If a manufacturer built the port, does Tesla have any mechanism (eg. vehicle authentication) for blocking gray-charging?
