but in practice it’s best to get a good electrician to run a new circuit from the box in even somewhat recent construction

The photo you linked was a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Mistakes/freak accidents happen. As I said in another comment, think of how many millions of households use 1440W space heaters indoors and don't burn down. That's what TC is advocating here. By and large, it's completely safe.

It was installed to code for a dryer, not a car.

That's the same code.
