There is a lot of untrue information about Tesla charging out there. The 40+ minute charging times are to charge to full. Most of these cars are going to charge from 30 miles left to 200-230 miles left. It takes 20-30 min to charge for that amount of time. If some of these vehicles only go to 150 you could cut that time down to 15 min. A charger this busy, will also be more than a dollar a min to charge above 80%(about 260ish on a model 3) so people won't sit the full 45 to an hour. So with 15 cars in line and 15 or 16 chargers if this is a v3 250w charger the last car is looking at around 40 min to an hour wait. If its one of the older chargers maybe a 2 hour wait as the older chargers split their charging rate between two spots.
