    Update for Reading Moto Westbound. Progressing well. Man from construction crew says nearly done but waiting for the charger units from Tesla still. And yes there is 12 chargers. 10 normal reverse alongside jobbies and 2 mounted sideways ones at the end.

    Exeter Services SuC has gone live!!! 🎉🎉 Posted up on “Tesla Owners UK” Facebook page (with pics of the tombstones lit up) last night.

    Don’t think it’s been shared on here yet but it looks like the Supercharger in Dublin Sandyford (Ireland) at the service centre is now LIVE! 🥳👍🏻

    Fresh groundwork at Reading Moto Westbound services. Cutting into the banking to the left just before the new Gridserve car park. Looks like it would suit a bank of 10ish reverse in parking spots if that’s what it’s for?!? Different to the planning app though so I might be wrong. But maybe……. 😁👍🏻

    Reading Moto services groundwork seems to be completed. No sign of any Tesla hardware yet or substation/power infrastructure. There’s what looks like small circlular features or hatches in the block work of the parking spaces on the left side of the car park (to mount the tombstones to maybe??)...

    I didn’t actually use the facilities there, sorry. There was a McDonald’s less than 5 mins away from the supercharger so we stocked up there and scoffed that whilst charging 😁

    Managed a visit to the Tralee, Co Kerry, Ireland Supercharger over Xmas 😃 Was very slow at 32kW but did the job eventually (didn’t bother moving as there’s only 2 tombstones) and my battery was fairly cold.

    Latest pic from Reading Moto Services Westbound. Looks like some kerbs going in. Might be some bases going in on the left side too, but kinda hard to see.

    Looks like work has started on the BIG Tesla/Gridserve charging station at Reading Moto Westbound Services. Drove through this morning and they've dug up the area at the back of the car park (the area on the planning permission...

    Not very good with GPS coordinates but got this from google maps at the "Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa" in Tralee. Try: 52.260722466479145, -9.659547328243015 + From the boards.ie website the person who's seen it described the location as: "There are Tesla Superchargers in-situ in the...

    Great news!! They already had destination chargers there but I'd be surprised if there's only 2 superchargers?!? Here's the newspaper article where the owner of Ballygarry House Hotel confirms a deal with Tesla for the superchargers: My job: Family values at heart of tourism business And the...

    Was over west coast of Ireland myself 2 weeks ago (Ballybunnion in Co. Kerry). Both Birdhill and Ballacolla worked fine for me (didn't get down to Cork to try that one. If you're lucky then new one in Tralee is due to appear imminently!! Otherwise just apply for an ESB eCars account (App & RFID...

    New Reading Service Centre info! Photos from today. Looks nearly ready to open! Even looks like there could be provision for 8 superchargers (see 2nd pic along front of site with strategically placed paving slabs 😉 next to Tesla sign stating “Vehicle Charging” 😉👍🏻) Couldn’t tell if end building...

    Thanks Michael. Yeah I wouldn't want to drive my car around the Dunnes Stores carpark too much as I remember it being a bit tight and crowded. I was thinking Ballygarry House too as a maybe as they are the only place with Tesla Destination chargers in the area and have good road links. I've...

    I see that what you've put was for UK sites, and that's great!! But does anyone know anything about this new Tralee (Ireland) site that is due 2021 Q3?? (as this is a page for UK & Ireland) Would be good to know if there is any progress too as I'm going that way soon. Thanks in advance 😊

    Where did Tralee in Ireland come from for Q3 2021??? I'm sure that wasn't there before??? That'll be handy for my cross country trips from Rosslaire to the Inlaws in Ballybunnion 😊👍

    **Reading Service Centre Update** I've heard from a work colleague who lives nearby that they have painted the building grey and have started putting up the "Tesla" signs on the outside now. So it looks like we're not too far away. Were they aiming for Q3??? Sorry I don't have any new photos...

    Exactly what I did when I went to Polzeath back in June. Stopped at Gordano on the M5 to get to 80% then stopped again at Lifton to give me some touring electrons ;). Then I just topped off with granny charging overnight when needed at the holiday let. (Did stop at Darts Farm on way home though 😄)

    Hi all 👋, Newbie on here but been lurking for a while. I regularly drive past the Reading Westbound (Burghfield) services (almost daily) and can keep an eye open for action if needed. FYI I drove thru this morning and nothing going on there yet :(. i.e. The area shown on the planning...
