No… have to order/buy it yourself. The Tesla voucher only given if car ordered before April… after that no credit.
The J1772 adapter is not the same thing as the Tesla Mobile Connector and they are used for two different purposes. The Mobile Connector is no longer included but the J1772 adapter is still included.

True… my bad. They have the adapters available in the Service Centers… my advisor gave me one at delivery… I found the other one in the glovebox.
I mean, never say never (lol), but the J1772 adapter is required to plug into basically everything but a tesla specific charger. They still provide it with the car now, and we havent heard anything different.... but I would have also sworn that they would never stop providing the mobile adapter with the car, too.
Its bad enough that companies now ship cellphones without charging adapters "because you probably already have one from previous purchases" (which may or may not be true but has nothing to do with selling me something I cant even plug in to recharge), but doing it with a car? One of the more head scratching things Tesla has done, in an admitted "forest" of head scratchers.
As far as I know, the J1772 adapter still comes with the vehicle for the time being, there hasn't been any news or rumors about it being removed.
In the future though... Anything's up in the air. After the removal of the mobile charger, I would not be entirely surprised of the removal of the J1772 adapter with a lame excuse of "most users charge at home and not use public chargers" or similar.

I agree with you there, 100%. At least for me, the "miss" isnt necessarily charging for the mobile connector (or homelink, for example). Its not either having a clickbox in the order to order it and pay for it, and have it ready to go when you pick up the car (homelink) or increasing the price of the car an extra $200 with a pre selected purchase of the mobile connector, and if you unselect it, you save $200 and get a warning dialog box that states something about "this means no charging cable comes with the car".
shrug...
I am answering my own question. I picked up my car on Monday 10/31 and it did come with it. They put the front license plate bracket and the J1772 in the truck.
I picked up a new Model 3 RWD today. The J1772 adapter was loose in the trunk. Thanks for reminding me that I intend to stick it into the case for the Mobile connector and put that in one of the two side cavities in the trunk. Well, maybe not. I think the J1772 more belongs in either a door pocket or a console cavity for our family.
He kept on losing the J1772 and kept finding them after ordering one. Lol
