Is Heathrow easily accessible?

I haven't visited myself but the main thing to note is the parking restrictions. I believe it's 30 mins max but speak with hotel reception if you need to stay longer (there should be info on the Nav about this).

There are mixed reports about whether you need to buy coffee/food if staying over 30 mins, and you may get a 10% discount.

Note I'm talking about Hilton Heathrow T5, there's also a 5 bay Supercharger nearby at West Drayton but as this is a service centre it will be busy during office hours, particularly during the quarter end delivery rush, and may have restricted charging/time limits as a result.

IME the 30 minutes is for when you don't get the ticket validated. Be there for less than 30 mins and you can just drive straight out - the gate opens by ANPR knowing you've been there less than 30 mins (probably for deliveries etc)

It's easily accessible and you get 30 minutes free parking or if you buy anything from the cafe you get 4 hours. I think fruit is the cheapest option at £1. Either way you need the ticket validating at reception.

I've been there longer. Just go in and ask for a barrier ticket . The reception staff don't care

Some chat on SpeakEV ref UK V3 at Park Royal

 

[Mr Miserable]

Since that post about the Park Royal V3 superchargers was posted last week it means that they will be live this week.
Anybody able to check?

Steer clear of the Coke - it’s a fiver!

First receptionist I saw said that after parking ticket validation, you only get 15m to leave - so to come back after the 30m charge was closer to completion. Second I got when returning indicated I had to buy something. Depends who you get I think.

Take the heathy option if you have to buy anything though - it’s much cheaper!

for a whole gram!? Definitely. if it's that cheap it must be dodgy. it's usually more like £30-£40

It could be the sugar free version.

That would explain the new car’s acceleration feeling so phenomenal....wow, it shifts!

Is Heathrow easily accessible?

The Heathrow Supercharger at Hilton hotel is easily accessible once you know where it is. It's right at the far end of the car park.

Parking was free for me even though I stayed there longer than 30 mins. I got told by reception to bring my entry ticket to them once I had finished my charge so they can validate it. I didn't have to buy anything...

According to posts on a Scottish Tesla FB group, Glasgow/Eurocentral/Dakota (depending on what you want to call it) has been commissioned over the past couple two weeks.

Local drivers doing sterling work checking in and keeping track of developments. Tombstones are up, groundworks finished, and might be turned on any day now according to engineers on site... Not sure if that's Tesla-time though

Is this the new way to install SuCs? 90° out

Seen a few this way recently, but many still the older way, perpendicular to the bay.

Eurocentral has recently gone live. The most eagerly anticipated Supercharger in Scotland!

Are there any superchargers on the M1 or A1(M) between Sheffield and Middlesbrough? Travelling from Kent and looking at the app and betterrouteplanner etc it seems I'm going to be stuck,............... Destination chargers are not an option as I'll need to get there as soon as possible after setting off. I thought they were going to put some at Ferrybridge - did that not happen? Do you have to use the Manor to use the supercharger in Barnsley?
Any help welcome. First long journey in the M3
