"Tesla supercharger" is not an individual name, probably a brand. And 
there would be many that have that "name" in the world. It would be like 
tagging some petrol stations with 'name=Shell'.

The easiest thing to do is change the key 'name' to 'description', that 
way OSM looses no information.

Then add tags for brand/operator/ref/*.
