Does anyone know if there is an adapter for the USA mfg M3 so it can be charged at a European Supercharger?

Germany - Supercharger Adapter for US built M3?

There is no need for an adapter. Tesla installed both CSS and Tesla cables on EU superchargers.
Tesla begins Supercharger CCS upgrade ahead of Model 3 rollout in Europe
US spec models use a proprietary connector for charging. Europe has a standard, it used to be type 2/mennekes and now is ccs2 which US models do not have.
OP send me a message and I'll point you in the right direction. I've had my US spec 3 in Germany for almost 2 years now and have had to rely on a 3rd party adapter for supercharging.
So Tesla did not retrofit its superchargers with 2 cables like described in the article?
There are indeed two cables. Type 2 and CCS 2. The US plug is smaller and basically a different pin layout than type 2 which is why this adapter can work. The original s and x that were sold in the EU came with a type 2 port, Tesla now offers an adapter or retrofit for those older cars.
They did, but both connectors are incompatible with the proprietary connector Tesla uses on NA vehicles.
If your car has the Tesla proprietary port that is used on North American cars and you want to Supercharge in Europe, you can buy this adapter. It will allow you to use the V2 Superchargers, not V3 which can only be used with Tesla cars with CCS ports or CCS adapters.
