I am fairly certain you could charge any EVs with the Tesla supercharger in most parts of the world. Perhaps it’s just a US thing where it’s limited to just Tesla vehicles.
Only in the EU where they mandated the inferior CCS2 connectors. That’s why North America is slowly switching to the Tesla (NACS) connector.
It looks like Hyundai may be the first ones to get them.
CCS2 is used in most parts of the world as well.
Notes on my first charge at a Tesla station:
Holy shit these cables are short, I’m lucky that this stall with a more accessible charger opened up.
The first two chargers I tried didn’t work.
The Tesla app sucks, I had to restart it twice before it let me start charging.
I’m using the A2Z Typhoon Pro adapter, works great!
Not sure where you’re located, but without a “membership” for Tesla charging, the cost is about double any other company near me. It’s insane and a great reminder to only use these chargers in an emergency when you have a vehicle capable of charging at higher speeds. Tesla’s chargers derate all the damn time.

You cannot use these at all without a Tesla account. That’s how the billing works.

As someone who actually uses these chargers, that’s not even remotely true, and even if it were, they can deliver the maximum output for this vehicle (which it rarely ever hits) at about 20℅ or less of their maximum output.

You absolutely can if you own a Ford or Rivian on Plug and Charge. I don’t have a membership, I’ve used the chargers. Confidently incorrect.

As someone that’s clearly used them longer than you, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

That’s why I mentioned vehicles that can charge at a high rate.

My guy, this is a Chevy

LOL absolutely not. I use them almost daily.

It looks like the ones in the median could be used if you nosed in? I know some people like backing in, but it doesn’t look illegal if they’re installed there and the lack of front plant also lends to this too.
Threw this together to explain the issue, not sure if all Tesla stations are like this. Here’s how the chargers are supposed to be used by Teslas:
I can use the charger to my left like this, but then I fuck over that spot while leaving an unused charger unreachable.
If I really squeeze close to the chargers, I can use the left one, but then I fuck up the spot on the other side unless it’s another car with the same charger location as me.
Driving the F150, or even the MachE, we just have to take two spots most of the time. It feels wrong but it’s what Tesla recommends for non teslas. I’ve only used SC a handful of times, but usually get lucky and grab an end cap or the side mounted charger when available.
