I think it would start conditioning at appropriate time/distance from Supercharger, so conceivably might not have stated if you turned off to an earlier Supercharger (but Woodall / Barnsley are pretty close, so may not have mattered)
This thread is for News about Supercharger, so please post any requests for help etc. in a new thread, thanks.
Tesla were granted planning permission for (car park for) 32 stalls at Woodall North at the end of July.
This is the spot I think they were looking at which belongs to the church. It probably got stuck in planning though as attracting cars in to City Centre (pure speculation on my part).
Hope something can be worked out as it would be a good use of this land.
This is a map I posted in August (might be some changes since, but as a general point)
Based on passed history that means nothing, sorry.
Red = Active
Green = Active - added in last 2 years (not colour coded for whether the site was "grey" last time, or not).
Grey = "Coming soon". NOT on the map 2 years ago.
Pink = Grey 2 years ago, still "coming soon" grey now.
Blue = Grey last time, disappeared since. Some (such as Ipswich (grey last time), and Colchester (under construction) are "somewhere near each other" and presumably reasonable to consider as replacements for each other ... but definitely not if your plan had a requirement for it to be at Original Position).

Correct, in fact an easy check is to type "Aberdeen" into Google maps and see where the pin pops up: basically the same place as the pin on Tesla's map. The same is true of many of the "Coming Soon" pins.
I don't think Tesla would want to locate a Supercharger in a city centre, for Aberdeen I expect they'd target an out of town hotel. I've seen rumours that the new exhibition centre is a candidate and it certainly ticks the boxes in terms of location on the road network and a couple of hotels to provide 24 hr services.
Never say "never" but time is running out for the "Target opening by end of 2019" pins. In early January this year the 10 or so "2018" pins all ticked up to "2019"...
There’s plenty of space near the P&J Live arena and that would be a great location as long as they don’t put it too close.
Imagine needing to stop off to charge enroute further north, only to find there’s a concert on at the arena & your stuck in all the traffic.
Nearby would be ideal though for AWPR, Airport & the arena.
I think my M3 might actually arrive before an Aberdeen Supercharger!

I met Rod, MD of WB, earlier this year and he confirmed that it was going ahead. As pointed out, planning permission has long been granted (July *last* year!) so they need to get a move on - unless it has been shelved in favour of Ferrybridge or something. In any case, we are seeing Woodall SB being full very often, so the NB units would be rather handy.
Leeds are delivering a silly number of M3s at the moment so more SuC's up north needs to happen....
it’s worth noting that Woodall North is no longer listed on Tesla’s website as “coming soon”. It’s been removed.
FYI two stalls at South Mimms (3A, 3B) were out of action yesterday evening.

South Mimms supercharger queues yesterday? Tue @10.30am
Could we record all queues on this thread to help trip planning?
I guess one of the advantages of such a centralised network is that Tesla must be able to 'see' when SC sites are busy, and plan more installations on this basis.

please start a new thread. It may be better to use e.g. Plugshare so that it is also available to people not using this forum
I'm not sure how it helps (for planning) as it is transient.
Tesla systems know which stalls are full (apart from that info begin displayed on Car SatNav, they have Big TVs at some locations [probably USA only?] with occupancy data), they also know which cars are in the vicinity (Lat/Long) and stationary and low SOC [so likely to be the correct count of cars waiting when all-stalls-full], others that are travelling nearby and at what state of charge (so may be taking decision to charge elsewhere because they can see that a location is full), and so on. I reckon Tesla have all the data they need to make decisions on location for new Supercharger. Crowd-sourced data would be a poor second by comparison as it will be both incomplete and, inevitably, inaccurate in some cases.
