Doesn't seem like it has to be different, right? The Tesla/"NACS" plug supports three-phase.

How? Are you sure?

It has two big power pins, one smaller pin dedicated to ground, and two tiny pins that look completely unsuited for power.

There's a "mobile connector" that can convert 3 phase, but that has an entirely different plug on the wall side.

I think it doesn't actually, nevermind.
In the US Tesla uses its own proprietary connector, in Europe they use the Mennekes plug.

Hence why they are calling this the "North American charging standard."
