East Leeds has moved from Q2 2021 to Q3 2021, the location marker remains unchanged. Not surprising since there's no evidence of it either at the planning stage, or physically on the ground in the most likely locations.

Tables in the wiki post at the start of this thread have been updated to reflect changes in Tesla's map.
In terms of timings, Aberystwyth has been brought forward from Q3 to Q2 which looks very encouraging.
Bridgewater and Leavesden on the other hand have been pushed back from Q2 2021 to 2023.
Overall about half of the markers have had target date changes, mostly shifting one or two quarters later. This includes Flint and Rugby which are expected to open before the end of April so not too far off their original Q1 targets.
The four new markers have 2022 target dates. Leicester West is in the old Leicester marker location, just north of Leicester Forest East services. The other markers look like notional locations although Winchester may be referencing plans to have a Supercharger at the new Tesla Service Centre.

This was 5 miles away and just 3 weeks ago!! 60 plus knots and just above freezing.. windchill -14c. But it's not like that all the time

Any news on the construction of the Cardiff Service Centre superchargers? Saw a recent pic of holes in ground and cabling.
On a more local front (to me at least!) I hear good news that work will shortly commence in the construction of the Aberystwyth SCs in the carpark of a local hotel near McDonalds and Costa. I've managed for 4 years via home charging but over last 2 months noticed a surge in Electric Chargers in the area. Can only be good news for locals and visitors alike.

Re; Aberystwyth that's excellent news & ties in with Tesla's updated target opening date (Q2 2021). Google tells me the hotel in question would be the Park Lodge which would be a great location. Keep us posted!
5 years ago I stayed for a week in a holiday cottage near Rhayader, and remember scouring the maps for EV charge points (there were hardly any). Luckily I had an extension cable and there was a plug socket in the adjoining duck house which the owner was happy for us to use, otherwise our local trips (including a day trip to Aberystwyth) would have been very challenging. It's reassuring to hear that electric chargers are becoming more commonplace, it was a real charging desert back then.

Drove past again the other day and didn't notice any further progress, just that the holes in the ground next to the road had been patched over. I'll probably head up again at some point this week to have a nose.
The Moto Twitter Account is saying 24 high speed chargers, 12 being Tesla Superchargers and 12 Ecotricity open 8am on Friday.

Indeed - if you're arriving with a cold battery then more kW might need to be spent heating the battery, or at 80% charge in the Winter, and sitting with cabin heater on then <20kW could be going to the battery and 4-7kW to climate depending on your model.
Is that price confirmed? Also if you use them as your home supplier do you still get it half price?
