The chart is correct. I have the Tesla wall charging unit and it works great. I contacted Tesla and they advised for my Model S 70D that the maximum amps to provide quickest charging time is 48 amps. However that would require a 60 amp breaker. My electrical contractor advised based on all other consumption needed to run my house, that I limit that to a 50 amp which would provide 40 amps of charging to the Model S. I went with 240v, 40 amps and have an average charging mile rate of 35 to 37 mph and charge to 72% of range which puts me at 205 miles for daily driving. 100% charge puts me at 285 total driving range. (Daytime/nice roads/low wind/sunny no rain, avg speed 70 mph)
Some people prefer to remain in a delusional state.........would that be the 51st state?
