Liverpool has been on the notoriously speculative Tesla map as coming soon for many years (like other ones like Brighton)
No evidence of anything happening there.
Don't believe the Tesla site!
The Bournemouth situation sounds identical to Glasgow to me - SC staff constantly being told by Tesla that the SuCs will come, but no clear timescale, over 3 years. Last November Glasgow also had some road dug up to lay some cabling, and when I checked with staff in February they said they expected work to begin at the end of the month - it eventually began in April. So Bournemouth SC may well also get its superchargers this year, but don't believe any timescale given!Re Bournemouth.
My “source” from the updates I made on the Tesla V4 thread at SpeakEV came from right here!post above from @jordan2907
Clearly” 8-10 weeks” was either wishful thinking or pure baloney.. I’ll shove em both on the back burner at SpeakEV.
I believe there's also a site at a Starbucks in Buckshaw Village near J28 of the M6.
I guess if they are planning a rebrand that could well be the reason Warton doesn't have evpoint branding on the stalls.

after all the to and fro nonsense, I’d like to actually see a photo of these SC stalls.

They have track for putting in Alpitronic HYC’s and then ripping them out before energisation.
Looks like this is what they’ll do there too, as these puppies in the photo definitely are *not* SuC posts…
Yep, Tesla hardware has arrived on site (there's a photo in the TOUK Facebook group: Log into Facebook).They have track for putting in Alpitronic HYC’s and then ripping them out before energisation.

Looks like that is updated now, though it shows the Abington expansion as V4, when I'd expect that to be V3, being a Welcome Break site.
Latest photos of Glasgow SC from yesterday don't show much progress in the build that began two months ago. Not clear yet whether it's V4 or V3.
I’ve just charged at Warton and don’t appear to have been charged. Plugged in, charger said “monitor charge in car” on the contactless display and no price ever appeared in the car.

Thanks. Unfortunately due to religious reasons
I don’t do faceache. Any chance you could post the photo up here or update plugshare?

How many bays there? Just the typical 4 or have they gone for more?
I can’t see it listed on ChargeFinder anywhere and they’re usually pretty good at scraping Tesla data.
Thinking about it, it could have been 6. I didn’t count but it was more than 4. I was somewhat distracted.
I’d read about it on here but happened to be visiting friends who live in Warton, but on the way back a gas main had caught fire and the road was closed. So everyone was forced to divert via the country lanes. All was good until we met Mr T in his A Team van coming the other way (i’m not making this up, it really was a replica A Team van) , the van was very wide and we ended up in a big dip at the side of the road and scrapped the bottom of the car. Fortunately it must have just been the little plastic flap behind the front wheel as no damage, but I was more interested in looking under the car than counting chargers!
Anyway, free charge.

Fair enough. 6 would be kind of strange for them, but perhaps space limited. They’re otherwise building in the usual blocks of four Tesla design. So they have a 12 bay site off J39 on M1 and an 8 bay site of J2 on M55.
Again, there’s a photo on the Facebook group showing 6 bays. I’m not sure I can be bothered though to get everyone’s permissions to share them publicly and I’m not allowed to post them here without permission.
Yes, 6 with a Greggs and Starbucks just off a roundabout near Freckleton. Just stopped for a brew there.
There does look to be enough space next to the 6 for another 2. At the moment they are just decent sized parking spots.

Really! Does the politics of a shareholder bother you to that extent? Not much to choose between the 2 contenders in the US. Much the same as in the UK!
