On the "red and blue" commando sockets, you can't get the red (which were 3 phase) anymore as they changed the portable charger to be single phase only. They added the 16A one which is good as they can be quite common as well as the 32A you used to get with the older original charger. The Red was often a pain anyway as there were both 3P+N+E and just 3P-E sockets and one worked, the other didn't even with an adapter, although they were fast when they worked.

People generally don't bother with maintenance on the lease, there's no log book anyway and not even a digital logbook recording what you've had done, tyres are a different matter, but if you go with the standard LR wheels they're not going to be massively expensive and as you say you're fairly light on them its probably a set every 20k at worst and £600 a time.

There are a few 3 phase after market ones, the Juice Booster being the best known. I image you could create your own adapter cable, I think the latest Tesla charger isn't even that sensitive to neutral earth voltage differences which used to plague the Tesla charger on the continent as I think it was mainly French sparkies took a fairly liberal attitude to polarity. Either that or the latest Tesla charger senses polarity and switches. If it is sensitive you may have trouble trying to wire an adapter for a delta red commando socket, or thinking about it, not possible at all as the phase to phase voltage on delta is 400v. Probably best to ask somebody who knows more than a man on the internet before you fry something!
