Thanks Dadaleus! Please do let us know how your custom cord works out, as I may need to go the same route.

If neutral and ground are bonded anyway, I don't see why it would be, other than that the cord should only be used with a Tesla. (Which isn't a problem--heck what else would someone use this bizarre cord for anyway? But I can label it Tesla use only for sure.)
Yeah, I have to go w/ the fact that the 10-30 is listed on the website as an available adapter. It's fine if it isn't available "now" as I can charge on 120V until the 10-30 is available but I've already chosen the wrong outlet once, I don't want to do it again. Surely the response dadaleus received was based on what they're making today since he was trying to order one at that moment.Who knows who is correct here, hopefully there was just miscommunication of what is available now, versus what will be produced soon...as unlikely as this would seem. Walter's quote was "we will definitely be producing any adapter that is listed on the Adapter Guide page".
it is one of the outlets that appears on the Adapter Guide page of the Model S /Charging section.
Like dadaleus, I need and extension cord to reach a 10-30 dryer plug while visiting relatives. I understand that Tesla now has a 10-30 adapter available for the Model S. So can I simply buy a replacement dryer cord and a 10-30 female receptacle and make my own extension cord? I only need about a 10 foot extension.
If you oversize the wiring in the extension cord the voltage drop is minimal. With 10-30, the key is to know if the source is really two-phase or just two-phases of three-phase (the voltages will be different - in the latter case, an extension cord could drop the voltage into a zone the car won't like). Also, the quality of the connections on either end will have an effect.
