    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    I had a root through the planning docs and saw the words 'Supercharger Stalls' on one of the plan view docs (see attached pdf). You need to zoom in quite away to see it. Not sure, on which side of the double parking spaces the Superchargers might be placed or how many 'SuperChargers might...

    Packed Superchargers

    Smart TMC forum users also know that in the real world it's not always possible to arrive at the SuC @10% SOC or that perhaps 50% wont get you to the next charge point or that the temperature of the battery along with the ambient temp, plays a big part in determining charge rate. Some of us long...

    Leicester Owners Thread

    Not sure I can speak for all exisiting S and X owners but I didn't find it a 'bind' at all! £180.00 and a couple of hours spent at the SC, wasn't an issue, I wasn't doing much anyway..... Far from being left out in the cold, we are now in from the cold being that we can continue to use Type2...

    Green number plates

    Not sure that the green or shade of it is the important factor here. IMO, ANPR in this country, I would assume checks the index against the national database to determine eligibilty to any potential benefits. Perhaps the "green" is only a token for being on message or perhaps a visual aid to...

    Green number plates

    Unless you have the same car, colour and configuration then I am not sure a picture of mine would help, perhaps a photoshop mock up would be better? Or, they are only £30.ish to buy, if you dont like them take them off again. Hope that helps.

    Green number plates

    The shade of green from the plates PFC supplied me, isn't the same as the Tesla supplied plates on the 2021 cars that I've seen recently. It is softer, less vivid, and less standout. I can not confirm if it's exactly the right shade of green in a legal sense but it's green..... The shade...

    Green number plates

    Remember that Darwin guy ? he got a lot of negativity when he started out, fortunately he stuck with it. "We need doers! Brian" Personally I like waggling mine under the noses of those chelsea tractors as I zip silently pass. Every little helps! Think of the/our KIds when you get that glare...

    UK Supercharger pricing change

    I didn't suggest it was 'purely' milking, I was only adding to your speculation of "congestion" as a reason for the predominantly upward trajectory of the posted pricing table. The "perhaps" and "maybe" in my reply were the give away. I only wanted to introduce the notion of, one of the laws of...

    UK Supercharger pricing change

    Perhaps conjestion, or maybe those fat cows need milking? There are lots more supercharger sites required now and in the future that need to be paid for and its got to come from somewhere so why not the users? All those pennies in the jar, help all of us in club Tesla eventually. We have to go...

    Not the UK Supercharger Site News thread

    I'll be happy not to veer into the wrong lane again if we can all rememeber the correct route for this thread. Unfortunately, It can be tempting to put your foot down and tailgate flashing and honking when provoked. Maybe we all need a driver awareness refresher course from time to time as you...

    I couldn't agree more. I am just replying to the OP of posts which could be considered non-supercharger site news. Not me gov ... :) Like you I thought it was meant to be about relevant important site news and up and coming sites. A bit of banter doesn't hurt though or it could be a tad dull....

    Why would I want to pay 5p a kilowatt hour between 12.30am and 4:30am when I can get it for 0p at anytime at the very nearby supercharger. I am also not limited to a 28kw a night charge at the Supercharger. I'll pop those 5ps in the jar too! I already have Octopus go but thanks for your kind...

    Following on from your post and my previous post, peej... It could be conceivable that after some older model S's and X's have sucked all the useful life out of their current batteries and are due for replacement after years of useful service and planet saving..... The replacement batteries...

    Thanks for the info Peej. It's broadly in line with my experiences at the supercharger recently. My 4 year old Model S performance with just over 50,000 miles still achieves over 100 kw when warmed up and at a lower SOC. The charging split is probably even on home and supercharging. Assuming...

    Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up, I guess topping up those bigger batteries with slightly slower charging rates need a little longer ?

    250kW Supercharger Charge Curves

    You're absolutely right BertieN (in my opinion) and apologies in advance for adding to this discussion for those not interested or who consider this to be the wrong thread. I've been carrying out some testing of my own at the new Amesbury V3 site regarding charge rate relative to SOC and the...

    I charged there a little a little while ago now and was faced with the £4.00 release fee. Being "free for life" I was naturally peeved at the thought of having to pay £4.00 for my charge. I pushed the call button on the exit gate which connected me to the carpark control which I assume is bod...

    Not much activity this on site this week . The Sub and associated cabinetary has all been fenced in, they've made a nice job of it. Still waiting for tyre bumpstops and the re-paint of marked bays (if necesssary) etc. The last major job if I am seeing/reading it correctly... is connection to...

    Don't know if you spotted the 8 x concrete bases for Super Chargers in the trench on opposite side of the carpark to the installed ones, Cliffski? Seems very likely the additional units will be installed, who knows if they'll be connected ?... Fingers crossed. If so, think you're right about...

    Some info: Booked the CCS upgrade for my MS yesterday through the app, it was fitted today (Includes hardware and software upgrades) at the Heathrow Service Centre. Now there's a first! 2.5 hrs later I was on my way with my shiney new CCS adaptor which fits snugly in the centre console if...

    'The best things in life are free? or perhaps 'included' in this case. Being one of those living nearby and to answer your question. Shopping, is the reason it makes sense to combine an unavoidable trip with some free juice at least twice a week. The biggest advantage is dropping off the Mrs...

    Not sure this is relevant to the thread. However, no one seems to mind here so I will answer your pertinent question.

    Living less than 5 miles away and after waitng 5 years for this to happen, it seems like this site is going to be a 5 star! Spoke to one of the construction gang through the fence over the weekend. He indicated, how truthfully or not I cannot confirm, that, there will be more than 8 chargers...
