Stopped at Wokingham yesterday. Still not operating.

Thanks for posting. Don’t suppose you know what power they are? Not yet on the Tesla map as far as I can see.

They are V2 chargers.

Where do you report broken superchargers?

Woodall Services, stall 1a and 1b wouldn't work for me it just said starting charge, then stopping charge. Tried a few times, then moved to stall 2 which worked.

So far I've supercharged leeds and barnsley too, both worked flawlessly. For some reason at woodall the connectors are more difficult to release too.

One stall marked as out of order on Nav Map

seems to have switched overnight in the car map to operating. I usually pass it twice a day but am WFH at moment so.

Known in mathematics as the travelling salesman problem, and is regarded as unsolvable. That said, feel free to give it a go. There's probably a Fields Medal in it for anyone that can.

It’s not unsolvable, pretty much any situation could be solved with enough time and compute power. The challenge is in doing it efficiently.

I think this is what quantum computing solves

The point about the traveling salesman problem (and the other NP-complete problems which have been proven equivalent) is not that it is hard - indeed small cases are trivial - rather that the computational cost of solving it increases unreasonably (worse than exponentially) as you increase the size of the particular instance you are trying to solve. Size here being measured by the number of nodes.

However, the real life problem is not as bad as the theoretical one due to a couple of simplifications:

• The real life problem is bounded by geography. It is unlikely that you will discover a tunnel that can take you from Manchester to London in 10 minutes (whereas in the theoretical problem the links between the nodes could be of any length).
• You don't actually need the perfect answer, merely one that's good enough. In the theoretical model it's still quite hard to prove that a given solution is a good approximation to the perfect answer, but in real life we can quickly get some metrics by considering the as-the-crow-flies distance, simple routes by taking only major roads etc.

Hence although theoretically interesting, satnavs and their predecessors have been available on low powered hardware for many years. In fact the "sat" part of satnav was the slower to arrive at practical consumer prices.

Possibly mentioned elsewhere but it appears that all stalls at all UK sites are finally showing up in Model 3 satnav. Feel free to add if I'm mistaken!

Facebook reporting Hilton Park M6 North and Southbound under construction.

This site is Moto not Welcome Break so let’s hope this is the start of a new partnership.

Where’s the post for South? updating Supercharge Info!

 

[MarcoRP]

I got @TeslaInTheUK to check on these Superchargers and got visual that the Southbound one is also under construction. Will add on Supercharge Info!

Is this essential travel???

 

[Joelly]

do we know if v2 or v3?

 

[kevuwk]

do we know if v2 or v3?

Look like dual cable so most likely all v2

 

[ringi]

Look like dual cable so most likely all v2

That true, a new site that is 100% V3 would need dual cables.

 

[Chuq]

That true, a new site that is 100% V3 would need dual cables.

All other V3 units have been single cable (CCS2) only. Some have had V2 units (with both cables) installed on the same site, but some are purely V3, and I expect they will rely on nearby existing sites to handle the load for Type 2 supercharging vehicles.

FYI
Leeds SuC is closed (not sure why, hotel?)

Woodall has 1 stall out of action. (Not clear which one. No comments on Zap-Map nor PlugShare).

Weirdly, Woodall showed two out of action half hour prior to my arrival, then changed to one before plugging in. Wish the Nav mentioned which stall(s) are broken.

I was at the Oxford services M40 today, and 3 stalls out of 16 not working - same no idea or indication which ones. Had a narrow escape of the secondary charge cable being dislodged and dropping out nearly hitting the car.
