Hands up everyone who has 30 payment apps?
I've got Polar, or some name like that (now BP??). Rocked up in Bristol, parked in a multi-storey and found it had chargers - amazing (I'm talking 2016 ...)
So I phoned them, arranged to start membership, put down the required "deposit" (which was probably £20 ... maybe more) and ... failed to charge. From memory I didn't have a Type-2 - maybe Tesla didn't come with them then? I had the provided adapter with a bag full of 13-Amp, Big and Small Commando and so on and naively thought that would work for anything. But ... being a Member entitled me to use ("Activate") their 13AMP socket (for free as I recollect it) which I remained plugged into for the 36 hours I was there and had pretty much full charge by the time I left. Used it a couple more times when in Bristol. Have never used it since, and probably have a £20 balance on my account.
By the time I'd sorted all that out I was 30 minutes late for my meeting
Bought membership of Ecotricity - 'coz they were everywhere, albeit slow and often broken, and assuming I'd need it one day. That day came (years later) I couldn't remember the APP password and had no access to email for a "refresher". Support was very helpful and said I could just login as "Guest" (presumably at Guest kWh rate, rather than member rate ...). Typing in all the credit card details (which it would not remember) every time I tried again to charge was a pain ... but I did get a charge. Only time I've used that, so probably £20 still sitting on that.
Then I bought ESB membership, 'coz we were going on a tour of Ireland. Yup, had to put £20 on that too ... Got to Ireland and couldn't get a single one of their sites to work ... but luckily we found freebie chargers at the hotels and Tesla obligingly opened a new Supercharger just where we needed it and opened it on the day we needed it. I ought to ask them for my £20 back ...
Nope. I've got 3. All used about once ... but they must be making a fortune out of the punter deposits they hold
