Not in the US, at least. The US supercharger connectors are Tesla-proprietary. In the US, the EU forced Tesla to join the CCS standard. Notably, the CCS standard didn't exist when Tesla began rolling out their infrastructure. And I think Tesla open-sourced the patents for their DC charging in the hope that folks would standardize on their technology, but I don't know that they ever had plans to allow non-Tesla vehicles t o use their charging network. I also don't know if Europe CCS Tesla chargers can be used by non-teslas, but I would assume that's the case--otherwise, what's the point of the standardization? At any rate, I do hope to see other manufactures push for a unified charging network, explicitly so that non-Tesla EVs can experience the same luxuries as first party vehicles.

> but I don't know that they ever had plans to allow non-Tesla vehicles t o use their charging network. In secret, probably not without sharing the cost of building out superchargers, but there have been past statements by EM saying they'd allow other manufacturers to use the network. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1340978686212800513?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1340978686212800513?s=20 (2020) https://chargedevs.com/newswire/elon-musk-tesla-is-in-talks-with-other-automakers-about-sharing-the-supercharger-network/ https://chargedevs.com/newswire/elon-musk-tesla-is-in-talks-... (2015) There also is indeed another auto-maker integrating Tesla chargers called Aptera. https://insideevs.com/news/458607/aptera-using-tesla-charging-technology/ https://insideevs.com/news/458607/aptera-using-tesla-chargin...
