You can now buy an adaptor on the Tesla website [0] that lets you recharge a Tesla at a CCS DC fast charger (e.g. Electrify America etc). I have one and it works great -- or as great as EA ever works I should say. I only use it on routes where a Tesla supercharger is not available but it's quite handy for those situations.
(The third major standard for DC fast charging, CHAdeMO, is unfortunately dying out even though it is in many ways technically superior to CCS. Tesla previously sold adaptors for CHAdeMO but no more.)

EDIT: This adaptor only works on Tesla cars built after ~2020. Search "how do I determine whether my Tesla can support CCS" before buying the adaptor. The issue is about whether the car can speak the powerline carrier protocol that CCS uses.
