Luton Tesla Superchargers open for business

[badboyardy]

Not sure if already discussed but Luton Tesla Superchargers have opened end of December. Were not showing up in Tesla navigation few weeks back but now showing up.

Conveniently located in Luton retail park but bit far from Airport M1 junction. Right next to 24 hour McDonalds and Starbucks.

Does anyone know if this one if Tesla only still and do overstay charges apply?

Did your message auto correct from 'not' to "but bit" ?
According to Google Maps, these chargers are all of 1.8 miles from J10 of the M1 and a mere 1.2 miles from the Airport.

No usually for me I only used Motorway services Tesla SC sites before.
For those who were around during the Luton junction expansion - they know what a nightmare that junction can be. Even now in rush hour - just checked now those 2 miles could add extra 20 minutes journey just to get off the M1 and back from J11 and 25 mins to J10.

They could have installed them in the new multi story car park at the airport……. Too soon?

Visited Luton superchargers yesterday for the first time. Not the easiest to get to or leave … Followed the satnav, which recommended this stop to charge. First it tried routing me into the McDonalds car park next door, then tried via the drive through (both ways are not recommended…) Finally found the route to the chargers, and when leaving there’s a really awkward turn back onto the main road with high posts either side of the exit (why?), meaning I had to do an awkward two point turn like some learner driver.

On a positive note, it was my first time on a v4 charger. All was well, at least after minor struggle getting the charger back into its holster

into its holster

Being pedantic here:

Holster noun

1. a holder for carrying a handgun or other firearm, typically made of leather and worn on a belt or under the arm.

As far as I can see there is no name to it - Supercharger post is the closest in this picture. May be you can copyright and X it to Elon.

On a fuel pump, fuel hose parts are often officially referred to as guns or nozzles which attach to holsters, hangers or clips.

I was by there yesterday and two charger cables were laying on the ground. I'd like to think they were from non-Tesla users...
