This not clear to me, because Destination Chargers are only Tesla brand.
However, hotels may have other chargers available but I never read that Tesla was also sponsoring them.
Tesla has their own J1772 chargers, they look like Wall Chargers but are slightly different in the case - to hold a J1772 in the side and in how they do load sharing. From a distance they look the same.
This Parks Canada tweet describes it as,The headline gives the impression that th donation is 50 total units, but the tweets seem to imply that there are 50 locations. I would expect at least two stations per location, so something doesn't add up.
No, there are Tesla HPWC units with a factory made J1772 connector. I’ve seen them in Toronto General Hospital parking, for example.Are you talking about the ones sold in Europe?
Yes, they have the J1772 plugs, but they are only sold in Europe.
In North America, Tesla detination chargers only have the tesla plug.
As said above, when they provide also J1772 chargers to partners (hotels, restaurants, and now national parks), they usually provide non tesla chargers for that.
Yes. Tesla has been making them since the beginning of the year. See the one in DT ColumbusNo, there are Tesla HPWC units with a factory made J1772 connector. I’ve seen them in Toronto General Hospital parking, for example.

FYI, the Tesla chargers with the J1772 connectors cannot load share.
I have the manuals for the J1772 Tesla chargers and they can load share. They seem to be limited to load sharing in pairs and I don't think they can load share with a standard Tesla charger, which are designed to load share in banks of 4.
