fine if you are doing fast food though. It was where I stopped on the way back and was pretty quiet, chargers and dining.
Great, live in Bristol so good to hear some more free chargers aroundRecently returned from Cornwall. Darts farm Exeter was showing full for most of my journey on a Saturday. Stopped at Lifton at lunchtime for a quick halt and volt. All occupied but no Queue. Had to wait 5 minutes for a slot and then only 50kwh due to power sharing. 4 more model 3's showed up while I was there so I imagine some people were in for quite a long stop. All of which will surprise absolutely nobody familiar with that part of the country.
Bristol is an interesting one now if coming down the M5. You have a choice of Gordano 8xV2, Lysander road 6xV2, Cribbs 2xV2 + 12xV3.
Gordano tends to be very busy and not just the superchargers just getting to the services can be a challenge and then the shared V2 will be full and slow.
Lysander is pretty accessible from the motorway but no facilities so not great for a stop on a road trip.
Cribbs is in some ways a better choice if its busy with its 12xV3 and big choice of places to eat. The only problem is by the time you have gone to the toilet and sat down at a restaurant the car will be charged you will have to go back to the carpark to unplug. #firstworldproblems
Another option is the new Mollies American Diner just off the M5 at Cribbs. 5x50kw Gridserve in the carpark which is fast enough if you are having a sit down meal.
I actually stopped at the new Mollies Motel attached to the diner on my way down to Cornwall to give me an early start on the Saturday .£65 for an airconditioned room and 8 free 3phase AC chargers in the carpark so 11kw in an M3. Now THAT's how it ought to be. Highly recommended
I think its supposed to be for guests onlyGreat, live in Bristol so good to hear some more free chargers around
so if you live in Bristol I cant see you using the hotel. at the moment you could park there is you were going to the diner or Miller and Carter but its a bit far away from anywhere else to be useful. They are just unlocked at the moment but eventually they will be linked to the hotels app. Still free I think, but you would only be able to activate them if you have a roomYou can actually use Lysander facilities during office hours, the nice folk in the Tesla service centre have no issue with you wandering up to grab a coffee or a toilet break, all free.Recently returned from Cornwall.

I always stop here as it's a free coffee as well as being V3.
Yeah I was told it was 10% off by the lady at guest services, but it was actually free.I always stop here as it's a free coffee as well as being V3.
Although last week they said the coffee was no longer free, gave me a voucher for 35% off, and it still ended up being free
I guess that is the big problem for the new ones at Cribbs Causeway as well. 30 metres from John Lewis. Could be an expensive charging session. All I had to worry about up to now was the price of motorway services coffee!Yeah I was told it was 10% off by the lady at guest services, but it was actually free.
Might not last though... although they shouldn't be short of cash given the amount my Mrs managed to spend in the shops while we were charging!
Is it not a bit like Supermarket Sweep? You set your charge level to 90%, and the good lady gets to hit the shops for that amount of time?
Yes can confirm. Used it last week when we were up there. Wasn’t busy either.
Lol, I was there a couple of weeks ago. Went for a toilet break in John Lewis and came out with a BOSS rain coat. Its was an expensive charging session
