You can bypass vehicle restrictions. You could potentially then use it for J1772-compatible EVs (like a Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf)

Or just for the spirit of actually owning the shit you pay for.

I don't think there are any restrictions. I think j1772 might just work with an adapter (adapt from the nacs plug to the j1772 plug)

I thought tesla even made a j1772 native wall connector.

There are some restrictions.

I had the foolish idea of installing a Tesla charger at home to charge my Bolt. I’ve been unable to ever use it.

The wall charger works fine with Teslas. My car and adapter charge fine at Tesla superchargers.

But the home Tesla charger refuses to charge my Bolt. (Yes I disabled vehicle restrictions and tried all sorts of combinations of settings for weeks before giving up. Tesla support was useless of course)

Restriction or bug, same difference.

Really gross. I have a gen 1 charger and it's dumb as bricks. Basically just a giant relay.

I guess I could see why you might want to restrict who can use your charger, but I really prefer the "dumb as bricks" version I currently have.

Can confirm. I've used an adapter to charge 2 different non-Tesla cars off my wall connector.

I use my Gen 1 Tesla Wall Connectors to charge my NACS-native Lucid Gravity.

What vehicle restrictions? This is for the Tesla home charger, not Superchargers.

Older models are locked to Tesla vehicles. Tesla has regional restrictions in many parts of the world.

You also never know when there could be another update and your region becomes one of those that has these restrictions.

Exactly. Charge both my Tesla and my leaf with mine.

Publicly accessible piece of equipment that could have a pseudo-trusted connection to an internal network (since they're connected to the Tesla Cloud(tm)).

Picturing someone rolling up to a charger outside of a large office building, 'plugging in', exploiting the charger via the communications, then using the charger to pivot inwards.
