Slate's website says, "With the included charging cable, you can charge using a regular household outlet. If you have access to a 240-volt outlet (the kind of outlet used for dryers, stoves and other appliances), you can charge faster with Level 2 charging."

Are they saying the included charger will handle 240v charging too? If so, which 240v plug does it use?

"the kind of outlet used for dryers, stoves and other appliances," is a little vague. Our electric dryer and our electric range have differing plugs. The choices are many, in fact; here's a chart from a quick Bing search: NEMA Plug and Outlet chart – BSA Electronics

I can't imagine that the 11kw onboard charger will require one of the 50a plug types. I'm crossing my fingers a 6-20 will work. No need to tie-up 50 of my service panel's amps when 20 would suffice, if I chose to wire-up for L2 charging.

Perhaps the charger will include several different plug adapters? That wouldn't seem very Slate like.
FWIW go to the Tesla web site and look under charging. The plug adapter has a variety of NEMA plugs to choose from. I didn't have a 240 V dryer put let but I did have a 240V 15 A compresser/welder plug. charges at 11 miles/hour but more that enough for me over night.
