You should report this to Tesla. I've got a tesla and have never had anything close to this. There is no card / screen or app needed. You plug the vehicle in.

I was on a mountain trip and there was a non-tesla charger. It was charging a leaf that had some kind of derate issue so the leaf was going to be there 4 HOURS!! The line of cars then waiting for that leaf to finish charging - those folks were SCREWED. Meanwhile, the tesla chargers were not that full mostly because the charges were pretty quick (250kw charger but I only pulled about 150kw because I hadn't preconditioned fully I think - it was deep winter with snow).

The non-tesla chargers are comical. They either don't work, or charge slowly or have weird payment / billing issues. All of this compounds the issues.
