I'm not sure that (1) is correct as it is still unreleased here.
That's what Tesla tell me.

The EVR3 - TYPE 2 - MAX 22 KW - EVR3 - Type 2 - max 22 kW - e-Station StoreI was looking at the ordering site Model S Design Studio | Tesla Motors to see if any more info on when the mobile charger is released and noticed it says 10amp only... and dual chargers is no longer an option
Also makes me think that heosat has a euro version Mat Peterson on Twitter: and we won't see them in Australia.
In the States, the second charger was removed from the design center (factory will only install one charger) and the price of the second charger with installation at a service center was reduced from $3,600 to $2,000. So, it seems they decided to streamline the factory and only install single chargers. It's a shame the price of the second charger went up $500, but I hear the take rate was pretty low now that the Supercharger network is getting filled out over here. Since I don't see an online accessory store for Australia, someone should ask Tesla Australia if they have implemented the same policy regarding the second charger. Then again, maybe it's going to be like UK where they decided to install dual charger hardware across the board and asked for an activation fee for over 11kW charging, making the single phase-single charger limitation disappear.I was looking at the ordering site Model S Design Studio | Tesla Motors to see if any more info on when the mobile charger is released and noticed it says 10amp only... and dual chargers is no longer an option

looks like it should do the trick. Would be nice to talk to someone who has used one. I am communicating via this forum with a future owner in Europe who has ordered one.
How come?yes but it's illegal in NSW once you put a Australian plug on it IMO.
How come?
So, i guess that to obtain that approval will cost mucho dinero, yes?
Tesla told me yesterday that their version, the 10 amp only one, is due "soon". The 3 phase connector, unsurprisingly, has been delayed until at least mid year. That actually does not bother me too much other than the fact that i paid heaps of Dinero to get a 3 phase supply to the mounting point, and that i have dual chargers. Also, since they were very kind to place superchargers very nearly on my doorstep, i do most of my serious charging there and only really top off at home.
approval varies in cost $2k up to over $10k. and with Tesla's constant "soon" talk it's hard to make a business decision on the viability of a 3rd party mobile cable.
My concern also stems from this. It is encouraging others to seek out and get certified other solutions, when I believe the Tesla supplied one is fine and should offer capability to multiple charging rates and plugs. The issue is we are a tiny market and lack of clarity is driving to others to bring out product. This will further dilute the ROI and drive up cost. We are going to end up with a lot of costly solutions if they don't hurry up..
Of course rolling out Superchargers more quickly would somewhat alleviate the immediate much of the current needs for mobile chargers.
Teslas mobile connector costs A$845.00 odd on the web shop. Mind you, that includes up to 40 amps. I have a bad feeling about what the cost of the 10amp only one will be once it finally gets here.
Any ideas, on local pricing here, Heosat?
The multi amp Euro one which includes 3 phase capability is around A$1000.00. And then you still need adaptors.....
