This new dual-connection port was first discovered when images of the inputs were first added to Tesla's online hub for press resources in a folder labeled "PRESS - GB Charge Port" and were found by Electrek.

Tesla pledged back in 2015 to adapt its electric vehicles to match Chinese charging standards, but at the time, the country hadn't established its national charging configuration.
China has since largely adopted the GB standard in its push to build out its EV charging network, which the automaker promised to support after it was announced last year. Now, Tesla appears to be making good on its word and is including the new configuration directly in its vehicles.

They said the automaker will give current Chinese Tesla owners charging adapters and adjust the extant Supercharger network in the country to include GB charging hardware "over the coming months."
Tesla has much to gain in China, which is reportedly developing a plan to ban gas-powered vehicles entirely. By adjusting its charging port to be a better fit for the country, the automaker could make its cars a much more attractive — and practical — option for going electric.
