I bought it at tesla.com about 6-7 weeks ago. The package was at my door in 48 hours after I ordered. But, I'm in the bay area. They shipped from across the bay in Fremont.
I think the local service centers carry them too. Not sure.

I ordered one and Tesla shipped it right away but it’s slowly making it’s way to me in Boston and seems to have disappeared in Buffalo. I’ll call FedEx tomorrow to see what’s up need it when my electrician comes on Tuesday.
I think if you are on the west coast you can get it fast from Tesla online.

Correct, it’s an EVSE, but we all know what the OP meant. Frankly, the nomenclature sucks badly. Might work for electrical engineers and standards bodies, but it totally fails for EV owners buying and using the damn things.
Sorry, I'm sometimes careless with my language. I won't say what I think about pedants!
Another pedant here. And as a very new model 3 owner, I appreciate the understanding that people here convey. I am glad I understand that the charger is actually in the car and all the other things are just connectors to provide AC power to the onboard charger. (Except when you are at a supercharger.)
Yes, a Supercharger actually *is* a charger since it supplies DC power and bypasses any conversion electronics in the car. But for an average consumer, saying that a Supercharger is a "charger" while your wall mounted thingy ISN'T a charger even though they have the same plug and plug into the same place into the car and both charge up the car's battery, well, that's just stupid nomenclature.
In a similar vein, I'm finding that people do not realize the difference between all sorts of information delivery. WiFi = Internet = cable TV = DirecTV = fiber = cellular. I actually had this conversation the other day: "How's your Internet doing?", "Well, we still are getting broken video sometimes watching DirecTV". Sigh.

Say what you wish. I do not get upset by your remarks, even your poor choices of nomenclature. Because the inaccuracies adds to the confusion for those newer than even you that follow.
No one was confused. You didn't give your preferred term. Wall connector? I don't need walls connected.
My thanks to several people who gave useful information

If it helps at all, I am also in san diego, and ordered a Tesla charger at the online store 2 days ago on 11/26 when I ordered the car. The car will now be delivered on 12/4, much sooner than I expected. I was hunting around trying to see how fast tesla would send my order and they have no real info there. I sent an email to the online orders account for tesla asking for expedited shipping. I never received a response from them, but I DID get a shipping confirmation so it took about 24 hours for them to confirm the shipping of my wall adapter, and I ordered the black one.
