Tesla is very versatile when it comes to managing charging. It is very easy to set time and rate of charging from the car.

As of Q1 2022, Tesla has stopped shipping their Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) with their new cars. Thus customer will have to buy their own mobile connector, though it is often out of stock. See link for Tesla charging accessories.
