The number of stalls gets updated but it doesn't show up in the "changes" page, just quietly in the background.
However when there are two sites - even close together (think of highway service centres which have separate north and south bound SCs) usually both sites get added separately. Is that what is happening here? I'm not a local (about 16000 km out of my way!) so not sure what the story is!
Yes, Oxford is now live with 10 of the new stalls working, and 4 of the 6 old ones too. These 4 will remain open until the New Year when all 6 will move to join the new 10, making 16 in total - and nicely out of the way of the exit.
Great news.
Did the delivery guy not give you the Tesla Pinch of Salt?
Welcome to Tesla and Elon World ... sometimes Promises <> Reality, although sometimes Reality > Expectation
The ride is exhilarating, if a little uncertain at times.Aspiring:
AP2 late
Infotainment upgrades not materialised
Supercharger rollout "doubling this year" over-promised
...
Astonishing:
75 series 0-60 upgraded by 20% !!
Radar tweak for AEB to see 2-cars-ahead !!
and so on ...

Lol it’s just frustrating as that would be the best location for me, there’s no superchargers anywhere around there
Its hard to decide what's for the best. I would be inclined to suggest CHAdeMO (but they are not cheap) and figure out all the spots around you that have that, and then use only as necessary (also take into account that Supercharging is fastest when "near to empty" so plan to charge further into your journey, whereas CHAdeMO charges fastest [but only 50% of Supercharger] when battery nearer full, so plan to charge at the start of your journey )
BUT ... if Tesla will roll out Superchargers in the next few months the purchase of CHAdeMO would be pointless ...
... I reckon the Government incentives to roll out electric charging infrastructure is, similarly, too late because battery price will fall to the point where people can afford to buy battery sized for max-range rather than average-range, and thus rarely charge when out & about.
But Timing is everything ...
Can't the clients you visit give you some electrons? Even 13 AMP plug is not to be sniffed at if you are there for several hours. If 13 AMP will keep the battery warm (does it?) whilst slow-charging then that alone will help you if you have several stops and shot-hops on a cold winters day by avoiding the energy loss when starting out with a cold battery.

Don't suppose it is of any significance, but just in case:
Supercharger Info has changed the name of that Supercharger [previously "Langstone"] to "Portsmouth", which is also what the new entry on Tesla website has called it.
Attended the Havant (Portsmouth) supercharger location today. Still not on the car's navigation and took a bit of driving around to find. Barrier on exit but opened without issue to let me out. 4 machines still bagged (see photo) but other 4 working well. Not much to do while charging. A 10 mins walk gets you to the main road leading to Hayling island and the pub on the corner though.
This site is all down to the good work by a Tesla owner whose business is situated on the Business Park. He oversaw the installation and did a superb job in getting it on line in record time.

This now appears to be showing on the supercharger list! However it is showing as restricted access? Does anybody know whether the 4 are still operational as I’m planning a trip down to the coast tomorrow.

Tesla recently changed almost all of their "coming in 2017" supercharger sites to "coming in 2018" - except for a very small number which are instead marked as "coming soon". Of those, many are already identified and listed on supercharge.info, but there are about a dozen worldwide which, according to Tesla are close to opening, but have not be spotted by the community. More details at: Tesla Supercharger network
"Enfield, UK" and "Wetherby, UK" are two of these locations! Do any locals want to get out there and try and find them?

If Enfield is accurate. It’ll be either next to News International or Theobalds Park.
