In the US the 'standard' service for new household installations is 100 amps, but there isn't anything unusual about 200 amp service.
So with the larger panel, a bit more than 40 kW.
And maybe 15 kW with the smaller panel if you want to be able to run other stuff. So 6.5 hours is enough to fully charge the biggest Tesla packs using a normal connection. Install a bigger service and you can do 200 kW in that time (I guess charging might slow down, but that's the facile napkin math).
It's also likely to be acceptable to only add 500 miles of range in the first night of charging.
