The Tesla page [1] says it needs approx. 4h with a 90A(!) breaker, not 3,5 (and now assume the Tesla numbers are even a bit more positive). The "High Power Connector" (which is named Home Connector) must be installed by a professional electrician, it might be interesting to point out also the others possibilities. Suggestion (i'm not a native speaker, so i will not change the article directly):
"A full recharge takes approx. 4 hours using the (high power) Home Connector connected to a 90A breaker rating at 240 volt. The Home Connector must be installed by a professional electrician, but there are charging solutions for standard outlets available. The charging time with these vary from 6 hours (50A breaker (NEMA 14-50 connector) to 30 hours with a standard 15A wall outlet." source: http://www.teslamotors.com/electric/charging.php

Should it get it's own section or be in the history? L3X1 (distænt write) 05:49, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
First and foremost, stop writing electric car articles with the prospective car buyer in mind as your #1 reader. All this comparison shopping content has to go. I don't think any one editor is to blame, but there is a collective slide away from encyclopedic content in all of these EV articles. We have conventional cars that have been in production for 25, 30, even 40 years, and the article about them is not 6,000+ words. But consider: the article on the Chevrolet Corvette does not explain what an internal combustion engine is, or what gasoline is, or why the Corvette has a speedometer. These topics are covered elsewhere, yet every EV article feels like they have to deliver a mini-dissertation on each sub-system of the car.
So sure, if you want to create a new section and write even more about another model, do as you wish. All I'm saying is it's not making Wikipedia better. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 06:35, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Tesla Roadster (2020) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 04:48, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
