Almost no one needs to fully recharge a Tesla once per day, in fact that's really bad for the battery. More likely, they'll be doing only a quarter to half-charge every day, on average. Also, Teslas aren't the most efficient EVs around; they're big and high-performance. A Leaf will use less electricity.
People don't need to own land to recharge their EVs; they can just hook up to the grid, just like normal people today don't have solar panels usually and just buy gasoline and electricity. There's tons of room in cities for more solar panels though, on top of roofs, on large commercial buildings, and also over parking lots. Fill up all that wasted space with PV panels and we'll have more electricity than we know what to do with.
