Interest
The Actemium box is interesting. Looks like bespoke engineering company. Demand management or metering?

G4E Ltd was dormant in May. Unless they just started (back) up (and I doubt that), they must be trading as something else. Ought to update the website & LinkedIn otherwise a bit naughty

Yes same banner at Newbridge and also on the side of the van parked there. G4E Ltd company 10751214 seems to be current with same director listed when I look @ Companies house website

Nottingham Service Centre - a photo just posted on the owner's FB group shows foundations for two V3 cabinets and at least six tombstone foundations (planning drawings had 6-8 indicative, subject to power supply). Tesla's construction contractors are busy bees!
If you're in the area and want to check it out it's right next to the pavement on Loughborough Road near Trent Bridge/opposite County Hall. For the time being only as part of an essential journey/outdoor exercise of course.

My service appointment has been moved as they need to order a part to fix the hvac that was broken whilst the windshield was replaced. Won't get there until Tuesday 17th now. Suspect the Newbridge SuC will be operational by then?

Ugh that sounds frustrating but these things happen I guess. I'd be surprised if the Newbridge chargers were fully commissioned in a week though! Based on progress at Aberdeen I reckon all foundations should be done and perhaps the power supply kit will be in place. If they are really quick the tombstones will be up but presumably Tesla then have to wait for the grid connection to be ready as the pause until full commissioning seems quite variable.
All very good points, but if Tesla can squeeze a little more out and reach new peaks then they will, even if it is just for seconds. It is a party trick, but a trick they I think they will take further - how they will do it is a different matter. They have announced, and are taking orders for, three models (Plaid, CT and Roadster) that they have said will charge beyond 250kW, so I find it hard to believe they would be aggressively rolling out V3 chargers worldwide which cannot achieve what these cars can take. With sharing of some power between cabinets the chances of a site currently having cars all wanting 250kW simultaneously is vanishingly small as each car would have to be at the perfect point on the charge curve at exactly the same moment, which in turn would only be for a very brief period. The reality is that under normal use, even a full site has a mix of cars asking for 20-250kW so I don't think we would see much difference if amongst them were some that for less than a minute were trying to draw 300 or 350kW. The CCS plug might be close to its comfortable limit but is the Tesla connector?
I definitely don't have the technical knowledge of the site architecture you do, so it is great to read and digest your explanation; I just believe that Tesla have a track record of planning for the future well with Superchargers and also of pushing things beyond limits like 150kW DC over Type 2, and doing the same for the CCS plug or outputting beyond original cabinet specs is in line with that.

I was at the Chelmsford SC a couple of weeks ago. The friendly lady on the desk said they were getting 8 V3 chargers soon.

Tesla don’t generally publicise where they are hoping to put sites, they get held to ransom by landowners or others that see an opportunity for some income.
There’s a Supercharger map here which includes some hopeful sites. Definitely don’t plan your life around a speculative pin though, some have been there for years.

A Supercharger about an hour away sounds perfect, you don’t need one on your doorstep as charging from home is much more convenient/cheap.
Nothing that I'm aware of but Tamworth has been showing coming soon, which I assume would be the services at M42 J10, other than that, I could see Donnington services working well as a location.
