From zero to 300 miles would take about 52 hours at that rate. With a single charger connected to a 240-volt outlet, which Tesla recommends, the pace speeds up to 31 miles of range for each hour of charging, and a full 300-mile charge takes less than 9.5 hours.he Model S offers a choice of lithium-ion battery packs, a standard 60 kilowatt-hour battery or a more expensive, more powerful 85-kwh unit.
Residents of Texas' low-lying areas were warned to evacuate after Hurricane Harvey turned into a Category 3 storm. Harvey is expected to hit Texas on Friday night or Saturday morning, and may become the US mainland's worst storm since Hurricane Wilma in 2005. The wind speed is currently 85mph (140km/h), and has a maximum sustained wind speed of 100mph (161km/h). Forecasters warned that some areas may receive up to 35 inches of rain, and others will receive over a foot.
Hurricane Harvey is whirling towards Texas with winds reaching 130 miles per hour â a Category 4 hurricane that was fueled by an unlucky pit stop over a deep patch of warm water in the Gulf of Mexico. Warm water feeds hurricanes, which form when a weather disturbance, like a small storm, sucks the moist, warm air over the oceanâs surface into the lower atmosphere. When that moisture-laden air reaches cooler temperatures higher up in the atmosphere, the water condenses to form clouds â which spin and grow, fueled by more warm ocean water as it evaporates.
