I have encountered this a couple of times. It is not normal and should not be needed for plug and charge. I believe the issue is caused by a back end communication issue on the Tesla SC side. Another example where Tesla SCs are not as good as many people suggest.
I thought it might be a temporary glitch at first but it has happened at every Tesla SC over the past 10 months (about 7 times total). Ultimately it is not a big deal as it is easier to pull up the Lucid app than it would be to download and set up another app. EA chargers are very scarce here in Texas.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy to have the extra option of Supercharger locations for my Gravity. More options is always better. But it’s far from my preferred option at this point. Speeds have been generally a bit slower, and I’ve encountered more broken chargers in the last month than I was expecting compared to EA. Not to mention it’s more expensive.
And then there’s having to figure out which stations allow non-Teslas. Which ones actually have newer equipment that can charge a high voltage car faster. It’s fine. All part of careful planning. But far from the utopia many folks were suggesting at the beginning of this thread.
I make heavy use of the Tesla website FIND US map, setting the filters for NACS Partner and Other EVs (and excluding Teslas). I save that page as an icon on my phone for quick reference. It's the most accurate and definitive way to tell.
