Both the R1T all-electric pickup and the R1S SUV will be fitted with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector starting in 2025, eliminating the need for an adaptor.

There has to be a protocol as well, just the port won’t do much. From what I’ve heard the CCS protocol leaves a lot of room for interpretation, which is a reason for the frequent problems. Tesla had the advantage of being able to design the whole thing alone from the ground up. CCS is more design by committee. But we won’t have an answer until we see third party vehicles using NACS.
From what I understand, NACS can use the Tesla protocol or the CCS communications protocol.
