How does a Chevy Bolt pay for electricity at a Tesla Supercharger?

It doesn't. There was no charging going on there. The person is clueless (like many about EVs) and will be disappointed when they return. The adapter the person has is for AC Level 2 charging from a Tesla Destination Charger. It does nothing at a Supercharger.
Yup. Seems like there were parking spots available.
I wonder what we'd call this when a non-Tesla squats in a Tesla supercharger stall.
"ICEd" for when a gasser squats in a Tesla charging stall.

Would be funny if there was a Tesla to CCS adapter. I’m more interested in a CCS to Tesla adapter though!

Maybe they know exactly what they’re doing and just wanted a convenient parking spot

More often than not Tesla SC spots are highly inconvenient.Maybe they know exactly what they’re doing and just wanted a convenient parking spot
This is nauseating to see.
Reminds me of this guy:
Does this work? Plugging the Tesla Charger into 1772?

Do i get free shipping if i order with in the next 15 min?
I don't understand how other EV owners like this Bolt owner can think this is a public charger, It says right on there, TESLA. Doesn't say BOLT. I think if I seen this, I would not be as kind. Reporting the vehicle to Tesla would be the first move with license plate number. Second, i would contact the owner of location and possibly have vehicle removed from charger. Then again, (3 seconds later) I may do nothing and if I seen the driver, I would ask if they did receive a charge and if so, maybe they really needed one. If not, I would help them locate a charger that may work with their vehicle. Wish we knew more.
Yes, it’s stealing and all of us that have Teslas will be paying for the stolen product.
Again, that Bolt EV is not stealing. The adapter in use is only usable for AC charging.
The article you linked refers to CCS superchargers in Europe. The reason it is possible in Europe, besides being a glitch, is that Tesla has the same connector as the other cars.
The Bolt is an American car, and this appears to be an off the shelf Tesla -> J1772 adapter that does not work with superchargers. J1772 is A/C only and no Tesla -> Chademo adapter exists for sale.
?? Tesla makes an adapter so you can use ChaDeMo to charge. Maybe I don't understand your comment?
The Tesla adapter plugs a Tesla into a Chademo station, not a Bolt into a supercharger.
