Tesla launches new 'universal wall connector' that puts the charging world on notice (electrek.co)

Tesla has launched a product: the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. The product is perfect for non-Tesla EV buyers in North America.

The product is inspired by Tesla’s Magic Dock, a new adapter integrated into Supercharger stations. The Magic Dock serves as the receptor for the Supercharger handle, but when unlocked by a non-Tesla EV owner, it sticks to the connector, gets out of the charging stall, and acts as a CCS adapter.

Now Tesla is doing the same thing, but for home charging and commercial level 2 charging.

I still charge my car off 120v as it's all we need, but our land lord was considering getting a wall charger at one point. Even though I drive a Tesla, they were still thinking of installing a non Tesla one so it would work for any other EV we purchased, or new tenants in the future. This is a welcome change.
