Is anybody charging other vehicles with their Charge Station Pro?

I have a Charge Station Pro on the way to be installed soon. I have a Tesla Model 3 that I want to charge with my charger, but so far it looks like there's no direct path from the Ford (CCS) to Tesla (J1772). Some quick research has found some suuuuper expensive adapters - Almost more expensive than just getting a second charger installed! I was wondering if anybody is charging non-Fords with their Charge Stations and if so, how?

Still looking for a way to charge my Tesla with the FCSP. I contacted Ford and they don't have an answer for me for an adapter. I'm curious if the current available CCS-tesla adapters (or to J1772) work, as all advertise for L3 charging. Has anyone been successful?
Back to the title of the thread: has anyone charged another CCS BEV using the Charge Station Pro?
You would need to use a J-1772 to Tesla adapter and cut some plastic to make it fit on the CCS.
Yes did see someone cut the plastic off an extension cord for a J1772 connector (40amp max on those). I am trying to utilize the 80amps I currently have available on the CSP. Most J1772 adapters max out at 48amps, and some a few advertise 60amps. I have an older Tesla Model S with dual chargers (80amps), and would like to see if it's possible to charge at that rate. If not, I can dial it down to 60/48amp setting through the car if necessary. CCS to J1772 adapters are available, but only advertise for DC charging as Thesocalledfan mentions above.
If you have the Ford Charge Station Pro, the literature states that it is a compatible J1772 connector, however it is actually a CCS1 connector. So the J1772 adapter to Tesla will not work as it will not fit the CCS1 connector.


It's very odd that ford does not mention the CCS1 connector.
I am purchasing another J1772 adapter to Tesla. I will trim to fit the CCS1 and will let you know if it works. The adapter below is certified for 80 amps which is exactly what I need!

Does not work as the bottom of the CCS1 connector interferes with the Tesla port, and will not seat properly.
