If it says max breaker, then you need 30a on #10; if that's the full current, then 40a on #8.

It's usually the latter in my experience with car chargers.

Out of curiosity, is this a NEMA receptacle installation, Tesla Wall Connector, or something else?

I think you are misreading something. The Tesla standard mobile charger, that comes with the car has a max 32 amp OUTPUT. It plugs into a NEMA 14-50 receptacle connected to a 50 amp breaker. You need to size everything at 50 amps.

All the optional Tesla charger adapters match up with standard NEMA receptacles and branch circuits sizes.

Seems that 40 amps should be acceptable.
