So I agonized for weeks on the best setup for charging at 240v in my garage. Here is the bottom line: if you plan on using just the Mobile Connector that came with the car (no wall connector), then all you need is 8 gauge wire, a 40amp breaker and a NEMA 14-50 outlet and the Tesla NEMA 14-50 adapter for the Mobile Connector. With this set up I am getting the max charging output from the Mobile Connector (32 amps) and a full 29 miles of range per hour of charging. No need to go to 6 gauge wire and a 50amp breaker. My run is about 125' from panel in house to sub-panel in garage, so no issue with long runs.
Not really sure why you would need to spend $500 on a Wall Connector, since my setup will allow me to easily charge overnight. I know there are some benefits with the wall connector, but not enough to justify the $500.
