This is the issue especially in the south, there are a grand total of 6 supercharging stations in the state of LA, other than that it is overnight, better plan well.

How long does it take to charge these things?

At home, 30 miles per hour it'll give you. In fact, the newest version of Tesla wall chargers just released and it looks like you can get upwards of 45 miles per hour of charge.

At a supercharger, you can go from 20-80% in probably 10 minutes.

Supercharger Network that Tesla has.

Tesla supercharging stations charge with up to 150 kW of power distributed between two cars with a maximum of 150 kW per car, depending on version. They take about 20 minutes to charge to 50%, 40 minutes to charge to 80%, and 75 minutes to 100% on the original 85 kWh Model S.

That info seems a bit outdated, now they're on V3 with the superchargers, and they are much faster than those rates.
