It has been pointed out to me that among the 'coming soon' SCs is one for Chester. Does anyone know the background or how long this has been listed? Tesla Service Centers in United Kingdom | Tesla UK
Historically Tesla stick a variety of pins in the map which are not much more than that. It makes sense to have something NorthWales/Cheshire and Chester area would be logical - far enough from the Manchester service centre but not so far west that the owners thin out. But whether its Chester, or Crewe or Wrexham and whether its this year or next or the year after, who knows. There has been a supercharger coming soon near Crawley for 5 years to my knowledge as an example. I know superchargers aren't service centres but it seems to be the way they work. People on the owners facebook group run spreadsheets of planning applications when they find them etc which may or may not help, but either way, I wouldn't personally hold my breath not that you need a service centre very often with rangers covering a lot of the work.
There’s an as yet unconfirmed rumour it’s the old Ford garage off Sealand Road, CH1 4RY. The FB detectives are investigating
A bit of backstory to that one. They were originally planned to go in alongside the Crawley service centre but there were issues routing power and getting adequate power to the site. The good news is that Supercharger pin will be a real deal fairly soon at the Pease Pottage services right off the M23 (way better location)
I think I've seen that mentioned on FB today so it may well be nearer than not time wise. Superchargers often have the power supply issue which a service centre shouldn't have unless they also want superchargers, but presumably they can still open the SC side regardless. I think Stockport SC was open for a while before SuC were added.
Planning Applications are started to be sent in for Chester for the Tesla Service Centre at the old Ford dealership 20/03399/ADV | 1x Face Lit Channel Letters to side elevation of building, 1x Red Flag Cabinet Sign to side elevation of building, 1x Totem Sign to replace existing totem, 1x Flat Cut Acrylic Letters to entrance glazing, 5x Pole Mounted Flags to site parking area | Tesla Centre Stadium Way Chester CH1 4PZ 20/03402/FUL | External canopy within car parking area comprising of a steel framework and structured poly-carbonate curved roof and new external mesh fencing to enhance security | Tesla Centre Stadium Way Chester CH1 4PZ
...sounds promising, I will probably change my 3 for a Y in a couple of years & this would be great. Hopefully the customer experience is as good as I've experienced from Stockport.
Planning permission was approved last week, the review document regarding the canopy mentions charging points but does not mention if they are type 2 or SC
Passed the site this morning - lights on in the building, stack of metallic material, small digger & vehicles in the car park.
