Unfortunately Tesla doesn't offer a 6-30 adapter so the OP would either have to use an aftermarket adapter or upsize the wiring to 40A in order to legally use a 6-50 outlet. But you're right, the lack of ground isn't great, might limit future EV charger support, and such a circuit should really be installed with a more expensive GFCI breaker - at which point it'd be a lot smarter to just use slightly larger wiring with a regular outlet and breaker instead.
So I'll revise my "cheapest option" recommendation to be 2-conductor AWG8 on a 40A breaker with a 6-50 outlet. Often the cheapest option is to drag romex thru the attic but if your run is going to be in conduit anyway you could use a 50A breaker instead.
bj offers wise advice to look to the future. Consider higher current if you think you might do major commuting and/or get a less efficient vehicle like a truck or van. And/or consider a 2nd outlet as you'll likely never own another gas car. Lastly, consider 3-conductor wiring if you think you might use it for an RV or convert it to a sub-panel someday.
