Yeah, my incomer is 63A, so ok I could probably use a 50A supply, but it doesn't leave me much else for the rest of my home!

Only the high level marketing on the Tesla site seems to suggest 11kw or 22kw charging off 240v. When you get into the detail there specifications never go above 32A, instead saying you news 3 phase 400v for the 11kw and 22kw charging.

Come on supply - supplier.

The 100amp may heed your supply to upgrade you, which from what I've read is not hard. Most people should be able to run 50amps, even other current chargers are 40amp.

No where is it 400v. And you have to get these things professionally installed anyway. Most people would get the single charger, that charges to full over night.

This page does not match your screenshot:

http://www.teslamotors.com/en_GB/charging#/highpower

68
UP TO 68 MILES OF RANGE
PER HOUR OF CHARGE
A Wall Connector is installed on either a 230 or 400 volt circuit and can be supplied with up to twice the amperage as an outlet.

My guess is that 'up to 68' is 400V only. The general wording is vague, but this chart is very clear: http://www.teslamotors.com/en_GB/charging#/outlet. 22kW is 400V only.

Please show us (with a link) where it states clearly that 22kW is achievable with a 230V supply.

Didums crying again are we, your 400v has been blown out the water.

All these things depend on your situation, they can and are installed. So pull another one.

Blown out of the water? I've posted specs from the Tesla website!

Edit: lol Keats. Has he been quoting the US website?

I mean just look at the Nissan Leaf. Why would you pay huge money for a cheap plastic Micra-type thing? You wouldn't. Which is why I've never seen one.

I agree completely, but I see them a lot - which is quite unfortunate - and even a few as taxi's!?!

Why don't you link it if it's that easy to find? I'm not sure where 240V or 20kW have come from either.

You know the Tesla product page. Both are 240v one is a 10kw charger, the dual charger is 20kw (info in the picture a few posts up, directly from the Tesla model s product page. If you look on the Tesla owner forum, theres discussions about them. Which are 50a for single and 100a for dual charger.
With most opting for 50a as 100a needs supplier to upgrade you.

I think it'd be easier if you link it rather than us goose-chasing over the Internet for it!

Just search for 50a or 100a plenty on there, with people upgrading to either dual 100am MCB or 200aMCB

Eg.
I'm expecting delivery of my Model S85 in 3 weeks so I had a 100A and 50A service installed in my garage. I had the HPWC installed to the 100A circuit and I can't wait to try it out. I had a 50A service pulled since my electrician was running the line for the 100A and it didn't take much for him to run the additional service.

Firstly, the image you quoted and the figures you are quoting are from the US website. The guy you have quoted is also from the US. I don't know what the regulations are there, but you can't "get your electrician" to double your grid feed in the UK without breaking the law. It is not the homeowners property.

Secondly, if you have a Dual Charger equipped Model S it can accept up to 22 kW.

Thirdly, you can draw 22 kW from 230V if you want (you could also draw it from 10V if you fancied it). However, virtually zero homes in the UK are equipped to do that without modification to both the home and the external power supply, whether that be to maximum currents, voltages, phases etc.

A Tesla Model S at 22 kW is not plug and play in the UK at all, and *will* require expensive modifications.

I never said it was plug and play, a home charger is never plug and play it heeds to be installed.

Just lol at all this.

It would be less lol if you posted specs available in the UK, rather than posting maths done in your head from loosely worded US marketing information.

You stated there are 2 options available, 10kw and 20kw. But its far from that simple.
 
Actually guys, you can get 170 miles from a 30 minute charg by installing a 120 kW supercharging station in your back garden.

Only costs £8mn BUT IT CAN DO IT

Which is nothing like the same is it.

So people can't even fit a normal charger in the uk as it costs money.
What a ridiculous position.
