I purchased this extension cord that is compatible with NEMA 14-30, 14-50, and 14-60 outlets, of course this leaves the responsibility on the user to lower the charge rate when using a 14-30 outlet...
We also purchased an EV Specific TT-30 to 14-50 adapter to store in our charge bag just in case.

Does anything come? My understanding was that as a cost savings, a while ago Tesla stopped supplying the portable charger.
My late 2018 M3 came with portable charger, a NEMA 14-50 plug, and a regular 115 household plug adaptor. Based on what plug used, the charger limits the current to not pop the breaker. (I also got the J1772-to-Tesla adapter) I have adapted my wall charger with a 14-50 plug too, so the portable charger is my fall-back option (which it has been sometimes.) the portable adapter is limited to 32A.
I gather that the issue was that not a lot of people were using these adapters if they bought a wall charger (I've never used the household 115V one). So it's simpler to ask people to order the charger and also separately order the sort of plug(s) they would need. (There's a 30A plug with diagonal pins that is typical for some campsites and trailer parks, would be another logical choice.)
