CCS is the big DC pins at the bottom. Ford and GM home charging happens via J-1772, the smaller AC pins. Tesla re-uses pins for both AC and DC which is a big part of why their handles are so much smaller than CCS Combo 1.
There are plenty of adaptors for Tesla <--> J-1772 already on the market. A popular one is called TeslaTap for J-1772 to connect to Tesla wallboxes and destination chargers.
A big downside of both J-1772 and NACS is they don't support 3-phase power. Type-2 in europe is very similar to J-1772 and will happily use 3-phase thanks to some extra pins. Not a big deal for home users, but operators of EV fleets could find 3-phase charging overnight very useful.
