The 14-50 and 5-15 plugs were standard, but a 30 amp plug was available. I bought one and used it with my Tesla Mobile Charger for many years.
It is strange that the 30 amp plug that Tesla provided is actually a 4 wire plug. There is a 3 wire plug (no neutral) for 240V/30A, but I guess it's not as well known. I made an extension cord for my mobile charger. My wall outlet only had 3 wires (2 hots & ground). I connected them up and did not connect anything to the neutral. It worked fine.
