Aside from that, many newer Tesla owners are now charged for Super Charger use, so even with an adapter, I don't know that it would work. It's debatable whether it would work on the Destination Chargers. FWIW, I've never seen a non-Tesla vehicle successfully charging at a Tesla charger of any type.
There certainly are plenty of reports online of people using an adapter to charge at at Tesla Destination Charger with their non-Tesla car.
I assume at least some of those reports are true.
From InsideEVs: "
Op-Ed: Charging A Bolt EV At A Tesla Destination Station? Sure You Can!"
Discussion at the Tesla Motors Club forum: "
Non tesla owners using tesla chargers."
Contrariwise, Tesla Superchargers use two-way communications to "talk to" the car, and identify the specific car, to identify if the car gets free use of the Supercharger, or if the owner is to be charged.

The above was a direct response to Ken7's comment above, but the rest of my comment here is directed at everyone who has posted on this subject:
Tesla Destination Chargers are controlled by business owners who own the land the Destination Charger sits on, not owned by Tesla. Tesla has no say in who can or can't use a Destination charger. Anybody with the proper adapter should be able to use a Tesla Destination Charger, subject to rules set by the property owner.
And any Tesla car owner with the proper J1772 adapter should be able to use the non-Tesla charger at the same Destination Charger location. That, also, was installed by Tesla, even though it doesn't have the Tesla "T" trademark symbol on it.
A typical Tesla Destination Charger installation, with one charger labeled "T" for Tesla, with a Tesla plug; and one charger without the Tesla logo, with a J1772 plug.
Arguing that a charger "belongs" to one set of car owners or another, depending on brand, is just wrong. The charger belongs to whoever runs the charger. If it's a Tesla Supercharger, then it belongs to Tesla, and only Tesla gets to say who can use it or not. At least at present, Tesla has decreed that only Tesla cars can charge at Tesla Superchargers. And please note that part of the price that Tesla car owners have paid for their Tesla car goes to build those Superchargers... and nobody else is contributing to that. So nobody other than Tesla car owners has any right to complain about who can or can't use Superchargers.
Contrariwise, a Tesla Destination Charger, once installed, belong to the business where it's installed. The business owner pays for the power to charge your car, and I think pays for any needed maintenance for the Destination Charger. The business owner -- not Tesla or anybody else -- get to set rules on who can or can't use the charger. The existence, or absence, of a "T" Tesla logo on a Destination Charger may give some people the idea that "they" should have the exclusive right to use that charger, but they're wrong. They need to ask the property owner who can or can't use the charger.
