How long does it take to charge a Tesla on 110 volts?

I want to buy a Tesla, but I’m apprehensive. I’ve heard it’s expensive to buy the wall charger, and the car is already pretty pricey. Do I need the charger? Would it take too long to charge a Tesla with a 110-volt wall outlet?

Charging a
Tesla
on a 110-volt outlet can take between 20 and 40 hours. 
But don’t worry—you still have other options:
  • Get the Tesla Level 2 charger: The cost of installation plus parts is $1,700, but you’ll be able to charge your car in eight to 12 hours.
  • Charge your Tesla at a supercharger station: Since you’re only paying for electricity, it should be an affordable experience. Plus, it should only take 15 to 30 minutes.
