Tesla version 3 superchargers already use CCS for communication between car and charger for 2019 and later vehicles.
Version 2 superchargers do not speak CCS and won't ever be opened to non-Tesla vehicles and there are certain routes where that's quite annoying. My most common road trip has 5 supercharger locations along the way with 3 of them being V2, including the most isolated charger. Even once the NACS changeover happens taking a non-tesla on that journey will be a real pain.
Tesla has not put any resources into converting V2 sites into V3s. Some of the locations have been expanded with the new additions being V3, but I haven't seen much in the way of switchover.
Now that it's open and standardized, you'll probably see tons of third party charging stations with the NACS plug. Tesla's part in bootstrapping charging infra to make EVs viable seems to be mostly done.
