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.
The Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale is a categorical classification of hurricanes based on their wind speed, used by the U.S. government's National Hurricane Center. The scale was first used in 2009, though the wind speeds of the categories match the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (see below). The scale underwent a minor modification in 2012. The categories are Category 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5: Category One Hurricane: Sustained winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 km/hr).
