Tesla's chargers will still support the Tesla protocol as well as CCS. They do that right now to support older Teslas. Everything else charging on a Tesla charger will talk CCS, just like they've been doing in Europe for a long time.

No other chargers will support Tesla's protocol. They'll all be CCS.

If I understand correctly, this means that Tesla vehicles that do not have CCS retrofit will not work with J3400 NACS third party chargers. Is that correct?

Yes, the car must talk CCS to work.

For example, Teslas in Europe since the Model 3 have had CCS support. The older European Model Ss and Model Xs needed to get CCS retrofits.

The newer North American Teslas have CCS support. The older ones need the retrofit.
