To charge a 57,000 watt tesla with an 800w consumer solar panel would take 71 hours of sunlight. There is not 24 hours of sunlight in a single day. This also is not considering the battery management which heats the battery passively. So it would take a week to charge a Tesla with equipment that you could carry inside the car.
Strange that you assume a single solar panel? If you’re installing solar at home, wouldn’t you install more than one panel?
I have a 15KW setup at home (kinda large, but adjust the numbers to what’s reasonable for you), it should charge the Tesla in less than 4 hours.
