Tesla Supercharger - All questions

Depends on several things. What is the battery size (ex. 90 kWh, etc)? How empty is the battery and how full (80%, 100%, just enough to get to next stop, etc) do you want it when done? Are other Teslas also charging? (Each pair of stations share a circuit. So charging 2 at once will slow down the process.) Nonetheless, expect between 40 minutes and 90 minutes for a "typical" charge.

Mark gives a good answer. Supercharging to about 80% and not 100% really helps.

Above is a good answer. Also, remember that charging slows down the fuller the battery is, so you may spend that final 20 minutes waiting on a few miles of range.

I supercharge to 80 percent usually once a week; takes about an hour when I start charging with 5 to 10 percent charge remaining when I start. Charging is slower when you are the second car in a pair. The pairs are A and B (eg 2A and 2B). I don't think it matters if you charge with the a or b charger if you're the only car on the pair.

I do short trips so mine charges fast I only need about 60% charge to cover my day

Wayne Barnes | Aug 26, 2018

Only if I am on a trip so I fill the battery. Otherwise I just go to 80% but when I am supercharging I usually have a meal and so when the meal is finished so is the charging. Typical about 30 to 45 minutes.
