How is it not? Tesla's website, Tesla forums, several EV websites, all put the charging rate at 2-6 miles per hour of charging

Which Tesla web site says that?
Please give us a link to any Tesla web site that actually says that will you?


https://shop.tesla.com/product/gen-2-nema-adapters - Has a chart showing 2 mi/hr charging a Model X on 5-15, and a max of 4 mi/hr using a 5-20 outlet on other models. So all right, Tesla doesn't claim up to the 6 mi/hr I said; that was likely from some forum post on real-world use, but you're right, it's probably not accurate and 4 mi/hr is likely the best you can do on regular 120V home outlets. .

Can I use a normal 120 volt outlet to charge?
You can use a NEMA 5-15 adapter for a 120 volt outlet. This provides approximately two to four miles of range per hour of charge depending on the car. For the best home charging experience, we recommend installing a Wall Connector.



You know, for someone so gung-ho on EVs and Teslas as you are, I'm really surprised I have to do this research for you.

You really never fail to amuse do you?

Now why don't we look at realty for change?

1. The supercharger is built with the capacity to charge a Tesla completely within 15 to 30 minutes. However, the charger's speed slows down around 80% until it attains 100% full charge to protect the battery from early damage. Typically, the Tesla charging time depends on the battery level at which you plug the EV into a charger.

For Model the high end S/X
Supercharger 15 – 30 minutes

So why would do you fail to mention the standard fast Supercharger charging times and concentrate instead on NEMA 5-15 charging times if you didn't have your normal, crazy Creepy Joe anti Musk agenda?
And, you really DON'T need to fully charge your Tesla before you can do your normal commute to work, shopping etc.

What’s stopping you from using Tesla Supercharger? Tesla DOMINATE the US EV market (with close to 65% of the BEV market in 2022) for a reason. What market share do GM and Ford have in BEV’s?
