This confuses me a bit. By "breaker," are you referring to the main disconnect for the house? Or the panel the main disconnect (and other circuit breakers) are in?
Yes. You can set the start charge time. This has been available all along. What I think you saw was that you couldn't set an end time. That's still true, but it's mostly irrelevant because you'll know how long it takes your car to charge in a day or two.
You can also start and stop charging with the App.
Did the Sigs not have it? Mine's a Feb '13 build and it's been available since I got the car, so I had thought that it was there from the beginning.True, except for the "all along" part.

How much does this cost ?!
My Tesla is gonna be here in a week!
And since I posed the question above of "how high," here is how my installation turned out. For various reasons, the unit ended up a bit lower than I had planned but I think it will be OK. The bottom of the Wall Connector is about 42 inches above the ground, so the top is at 57" above grade. The ground slopes down from the post and the parking space is even lower, so it is at a comfortable height to handle the cable when standing on the pavement.
Also, the cable can be coiled into smaller loops than I expected, so that should allow me to keep the cable out of the snow when expected accumulation will be significant -- at least, I hope so! View attachment 192447

Depends on what you mean by "this". The cost to install a charging set-up varies widely, depending upon location and capacity of the main panel for your home (e.g., do you have enough excess capacity for a new 240V circuit with 50 amps or more?), distance from that panel to the planned charging installation, whether or not you want to use the Wall Connector or simply an outlet, and how much current you want to deliver to your car (40 amps? 48? or 72?), etc. Total cost might be a few hundred dollars, or a few thousand. If you are not comfortable doing the work yourself, you should get 2 or 3 electricians to give you quotes, but you need to decide first what you want.
Oy, that's the trouble with older houses, isn't it! But the answer to the question of adequacy is, "it depends." How much does he drive?
If it is a 20 amp circuit, US rules would limit the actual charge rate to 16 amps. If it is a 240 V circuit, that is only 3.8 KW, so that is only about 12 miles/hour of charging for a 70D. Adding 100 miles of range would take 8 hours. That could be pretty limiting, depending upon his needs. If the electrician means that the actual current could be 20 amps (25 amp circuit, I think), it would be a bit faster.
