Talk me into 100A wiring vs 50A wiring

Now for my on topic reply... as long as you have a connector for each car so that you can charge overnight without any musical car jumbo jumbo, you should be good. 30-40A@240V is more than plenty if you don't ever need a quick turnaround. Especially if you have a supercharger or Chademo locally. Right now I have 60A of load with two 50A circuits (wiring, not breakers) to share between a Model X and a Leaf. The Model X I charge at 32A (Canadian 14-50 adapter!), and the Leaf I have a 16A EVSE that plugs into a 10-30 outlet. It's not immediately apparent, but I'm within ,y load limitation. As soon as I can get a Tesla to J1772 adapter, I'll switch out for wall connectors sharing 50A (can't do 60 cause the end circuits are only 50A). We're in the planning stages of a new home, and I'll probably do 100A shared between two wall connectors, with a sub panel close so that I can easily add a third wall connector into the mix when my kids start to drive, and I get them a cheap used Leaf or something. 100A between three cars isn't really tons, but the sharing aspect makes it doable without having outrageous electric service.
