Anyone else panicking that we might run out of fuel and think it’s worth popping to the supercharger to fill up? No? Just me? 👀

Because they are dinosaurs. There were a number of comments about the site location being over a boundary that local parishes were told wouldn’t be crossed, taking people away from the towns retail offering, road congestion (admittedly on an already busy road, but they are already building 1000...

I have had the car for a year now, handover was good, car had a few defects that were noted and fixed on my timescale, build quality was pretty good on mine. panel gaps shouldnt be an issue, nor should water getting into the boot, but you never know. if you get one like that then they will fix...

My recommendation for those looking into this, get yourself a custom sized foam mattress. Measure up (i'm happy to help here if you want to double check measurements or aren't sure) and you will get a perfectly fitting, better quality bit of kit at a quarter of the price. Spent 12 nights out in...

Gridserve application in uckfield looks set to be granted dependant on conditions being met. Will keep an eye on any activity in the area. https://planning.wealden.gov.uk/plandisp.aspx?recno=150249

Since rumours of Pease Pottage, Crawley Service Centre now has 8 superchargers which (somewhat) cover this area. I wonder whether Pease Pottage happens now (its not on the Tesla map, although I hope it does as the access is much better than the service centre) Edit: also looks like there is...

I suspect this will be very easy with the presence of security and police who will monitor this for security purposes i imagine. interesting one to monitor for sure Edit: I got the wrong hotel. There wont be anywhere near as much security presence at the marriot.

just seen this, I found an adapter that does work and used double sided tape to stick the charger to the rubbert mat. Dual purpose of charging and holding phone in place. Works a treat. (It does not charge at optimum speed, maybe 5-10w, But it does the job) here is a link to the adapter...

old map here UK Supercharger Site News - please no chit chat

No sign of uckfield Gridserve (although planning not granted yet). On another note, no new sites in Scotland it suggests, Brighton still showing as 2022 and Crawley pin has been removed. Yes there is the service centre site, however there was talk of a site at pease pottage.

I loved the big screen and great use of it, i now feel like im in any other car with a tiny screen. Not great imo. Im looking forward to seeing what comes next and whether we get a choice

the gridserve chargers or the superchargers at gridserve sites?

You might be waiting a while for this one. Resubmission of plans has meant a delay in consideration until the new year. I suspect this will take a while to build as well. It will also mean coming down the A22 (single carriageway) rather than M23/A23 which is minimum dual carriageway. It will be...

big questions are how often will you supercharge, are you able to charge at home, and how close you are to ordering anyway. If you will supercharge (on the road) a lot then itll be a nice bonus. If you will supercharge instead of home charge (because of free supercharging) then the benefit...

if you experience the same next time then please pop in and mention it.

no photos, but i visited this morning and got max 140. I arrived with 16%, i had driven for 45 minutes there and pre conditioned for 20 minutes before leaving. This was much lower than i expected. the chargers arent numbered so from left (1) to right (8), I was on number 5 and 6, same issue...

Superchargers not showing on incar nav or app as of 14:44 today. Theyre at the service centre though and the car can navigate to that, but it wont preheat.

I have a boot issue. it doesnt look misaligned, but it now doesnt open when it should. It requires slamming to shut and in this cold weather just hovers in the middle when the arms should be extended. I have it booked in to fix though. Do you have pictures of your boot issue?

I was there this morning too, did you mention it to them? theyre not numbered so, From left (1) to right (8) I was on 5 initially, maxed at 130-140 (16%, 45 minute drive and 20 minute pre condition before leaving). I moved to 6 and maxed at 130. There were 2 vehicles there in 1 and 2 and a third...

Just to confirm, Service centre is open. Superchargers are to be switched on tomorrow apparently. I will be there on Friday

Crawley SC superchargers are to go live tomorrow apparently. I will miss the christening, but I will be there on Friday.

Im not entirely sure, but that it was clearly stated the member would not approve on a level 3 area or something along those lines at least. This was also reiterated. It is looking promising now though so we shall see.

haha, sods law. this was added today and I received notification of this at 11:23. Set to be approved if all of the conditions and considerations are met, some of these affect the scale of the solar farm I believe due to being in flood risk areas. Going to considered on the 17th December by the...

not quite sure what you mean? this is very close to a very busy roundabout, if there is any risk of queues backing up to the main road this application will be dead in the water.

I posted about this a while ago. They have just this week resubmitted with amendments to counter the many arguments against this being here. I am following it closely, but with previous plans there were big arguments against. ps, its Uckfield

Can I cash out? Update is that they’re getting there, obviously still work to be done, needs to be commissioned and still needs connecting to the mains supply.

Does this mean Inverness wins?

Crawley sc update: possibly by the end of the week. Potentially being held back by Tesla, I am speculating that maybe goes live from the 2nd.

I will actually jump in and hope MrM doesnts see. 90kw is still way too low imho, id expect that at 50-60% maybe, especially if the battery was actually pre conditioning. if you've an older Model S/X that has done lots of supercharging then that might be why. In future if other bays are free, id...

FWIW, I have only ever experienced 1% per week. I dont use any add ons such as teslafi and car sleeps within 30 minutes every time.

My money is on Crawley SC. Will pop in tomorrow and see where we are at.

if im stopping for lunch then I need to arrive with 3% max, otherwise the charging is definitely beating me. to this day, the car has always beaten me when stopping and supercharging.

also small bladders are a factor

any sources for this?

Agree with most comments above, I see 30k miles as a huge opportunity and makes this the best car you can have, albeit if you’re regularly doing 250+miles in a single trip then it may require more gentle driving. Charge to 90% and you’ll be fine, avoid 100% as much as possible, 95% should be...

So you’re saying there is no way to do a wired charge in the new model? That is a serious design flaw surely?

The hub was taptes usb hub for model 3 pre 2020 and it didn’t power the MagSafe. I don’t know what it is with the MagSafe charger that stops it working. I have now found 2 that work, the charge speed is likely to be 5w, but I don’t actually know how to work out precisely. It charged about 1% per...

when that happened to me i removed my card Then they cant charge.I havent recieved my refund for 6 months now

I wouldn’t describe that as massive.

Have you tried to use a supercharger to see if they’re hidden on your account? I’ve had some issues with mine and admittedly haven’t used a supercharger since the latest 2 have been added. Last time they were just hidden on the account though.

I wasn’t joking haha, I’ve just been through all the hassle of finding an adapter for the usb A port, went through about 5, including a taptes usb hub. Dual purpose for me - wireless charging and stops the phone sliding around (untested so far). Given I have the older car, the charge rate won’t...

Do this :D

I’ve found traction control pretty good, but yes it is quite a change from what you’re expecting if youre wanting to put your foot down.

You can just plug the phone in guys... just make sure you’ve got a cable (yes, I know, wireless charging is a bit easier)

Staggered at the lack of resources available for this topic, even non Tesla related I thought would come up with something. I can report that I have power! Charging at about 1% per minute which is good enough for me! Now to monitor the overheating... Specifically mentioned that this had been...

I’ve just tried, bought off Amazon and it doesn’t supply power. If you’re looking to do the same then let me know as I found an adapter that does work.

Set battery to %, use A Better Routeplanner. I suspect they don't do it because when you put your foot down it'll show half the expected range and they would get slaughtered for it

In the Model 3 it seems the only way out of the compartment for 12v supply is out where the armrest shuts.

TAPTES Model 3 USB Hub, Designed for Tesla Model 3 Dashcam & Sentry Mode this is my back up option, but won’t be here for a while
