No. NACS is CCS chargers with Tesla's plug on the end. The plug will become CCS Type 3.
Older Teslas (2019 and earlier) won't work on NACS chargers without a CCS retrofit:

- ec109685 3y agoAre you saying older teslas won’t be able to charge at Tesla super chargers?
- stetrain 3y agoTesla will support both protocols at their chargers. But if you have an older (pre-2020) Tesla you may not be able to charge at a non-Tesla NACS charger, since those older Teslas do not natively support the CCS communication protocol. Tesla has promised to offer retrofits for older cars. I went the DIY route for mine (replacing an ECU in the trunk area) for a cost of around $200 in eBay parts.
- clouddrover 3y agoNo, Tesla's chargers will still support their proprietary charging protocol for now. Longer term Tesla may drop support for it. Might as well use the one protocol everywhere, even when the plugs are different in passenger vehicles and in heavy vehicles: https://www.charin.global/technology/mcs/ https://www.charin.global/technology/mcs/
