Sure, they could design yet another connector for 3-phase, but why when they could do everything in one?
Unused and unneeded pins don't have to be installed, or it could be designed so two smaller pins carry the same current as a previous larger pin. If they did it right, it could become the single global standard that I had been hoping Mennekes would become up until the point the US chose that ugly non-forward looking Yazaki J1772 connector...
Or Tesla can go ahead a design different connectors for different regions... whatevs...
This all is a bit moot for now since from what we've been hearing Tesla does not intend to support 3-phase.
