Well, it's a pilot for starters so Tesla will learn lots from it. Opening up the supercharger network can only increase capacity unless the superchargers are already 100% occupied 24/7. I don't care whether I use a supercharger or another rapid as long as they are available and where I need them.

Left hand drive. in Right hand drive the CCS port is on the other side..

Look at this differently .. Tesla are already in the leccy provision game via octopus. It's hardly a stretch to see them using mega-batteries to store and retail directly. They have already demonstrated capability to swap chargers to dual function so swapping them out to chargers with longer cables wouldn't be a big deal - just loop it around the inner circumference. Nor is it an impossible stretch to see Tesla buying up independent service stations at cheapo cost as demand drops and slapping in a few chargers backed up by their own battery storage - kill off the opposition for total dominance?

Most UK locations don't look like that though they have the. tombstone in front not at the side. Not saying it would not reach. I recon they would just about manage it on those but I think they would have to drive over the wheel stop and get really really close..
I can see some damaged signs and tombstones in Tesla's future

Yes, but that would involve re-doing the site. My suggestion was for a quick and dirty fix ahead of site or stall re-design.

its a 400v water cooled cable that is no doubt rated to at least 750amps.
There is a reason they come with cable attached
Agreed, upside down would work just as well.

I can see Porsche offering a 'Tesla' option to specify which side the CCS port is fitted depending on your country. They like options do Porsche......
The announcement page states “Future sites will only be opened to Non-Tesla vehicles if there is available capacity.” So hopefully they’ll not pick the busiest sites.
But surely vehicle sales are higher than capacity to keep up with demand. They are all going to get busier.
Some of them already have - and are now trying to find how to get the indicators disconnected.
well there is this...
Tesla Supercharger V3 factory with 10k annual capacity fully completed
The electric vehicle sector would be wise to brace for an insane expansion of the Tesla Supercharger Network. As reported by local media outlets on Tuesday, Tesla’s Supercharger V3 Factory in Shanghai had been fully completed as of August 20, 2021. The facility, which is capable of producing...

"The facility, which is capable of producing 10,000 Supercharger V3 stalls per year, would play a key role in the company’s aggressive expansion of its rapid-charging network."
Making the cabinets isn't the bottleneck, the underlying power infrastructure is. Another factor is the effect of 100k+ Hertz tesla's wanting to charge.well there is this...

I would hope they have a plan that doesn't involve an additional 10k superchargers/year sitting around waiting for somewhere to plug them in...

10,000 extra stalls across the globe annually would be great. If they ramp up production with further factories, maybe even start to buy failing petrol stations, they could quickly corner the market in BEV charging.
