What makes you feel Tesla should support a BMW? Tesla puts their superchargers in to support their model S...they could care less about others. Now, some of their stations also have J1772 connections which would allow others to use it, but at the level 2 interface, not fast DC (at least from what I can find). For a Tesla to use the (much bigger) network of J1772 charge points out there, they need to use an adapter, since they do not have a J1772 connection on their vehicles (who knows, that may change now that those are starting to be built out).. Most of the rest of the EVs now being built or planned to be built in for the USA are going to the same system as BMW selected for the i3 (and forthcoming i8). The signaling to let a Tesla use their supercharger network is not standard J1772.
