Very encouraging news for North Wales, courtesy of proddick who's just reported a new planning application over on SpeakEV, for Erection of a Tesla Electrical Charging Substation at Mountain Park Hotel & Golf Club. This is a short drive from Junction 33 of the A55, near Flint.
Details - My ASP.NET Application
A lot of digging needed to get the power to the substation (green shading in the map):

Thanks cezdoc.
Just added it on Supercharge Info.
I put the state as Wales, not sure that’s right and interestingly, the longitude coordinates are minus Pi!

Thanks @MarcoRP - as a Welshman living in exile I think it's great to note the state as Wales: Welsh rapid chargers are a rarity, let alone the sole Welsh Supercharger currently in existence at Sarn! Looking at supercharge.info however it seems State is blank for the vast majority of UK sites, and the few the do have a State are a motley bunch: there's one Scotland but also a Tayside, Lothian, Wokingham and Kings Langley
I love the minus Pi coordinate for longitude! I now feel it needs to be nudged so it to matches to six decimal places
Pubs reopened in Scotland today. Can confirm Lothian is in a state.Thanks @MarcoRP - as a Welshman living in exile I think it's great to note the state as Wales: Welsh rapid chargers are a rarity, let alone the sole Welsh Supercharger currently in existence at Sarn!

Afternoon everyone,
Just about to sign up for an M3 Long Range. Does anybody know when the M6 Coventry will open?
Also does anyone have real world range for M3 Long Range when doing mainly motorway? I live in North West and travel to East Anglia quite often. Want to make sure I can get there. Coventry would be perfect as about half way through journey so normally a stop with the kids anyway.
Cheers

Best to put your trips in A Better Routeplanner to ascertain if there is sufficient range. This should help give answers you need.
You can tailor trip planning with the model and spec of your Model3, and also weather, temperature and battery status. I've not used it as still waiting for my car, but understand from others this is quite accurate.
For real world range at different speeds some useful data is here : Teslike.com

Welcome
i'll let someone else answer you Coventry question since I have no idea
but in answer to the other part check out this thread:
New Tesla Owner, battery range lower than expected
don't be put off by the title
if that does not answer your question add to it or create a new one. People get upset if these sticky threads go off course and a question like that usually elicits responses that go on for pages.
edit
P.S hope you are using a referral to order so you get your 1000 free supercharger miles. If not I (or many others here) will be happy to provide one for you if you personal message. they not allowed to be put in threads
Not sure if this is the coventry services that is on the Tesla map, but 1 down the road will be completed later in the year near M1/M6 Jct 1
Moto | Rugby Services
Thanks, I think it is that one. I had thought it would be Corley but either will work for me.

This was really helpful. It appears that I will need about a 20 minute recharge on route. Unfortunately that will mean a 30 minute detour or a double stop. Coventry/Rugby will be an ideal location for me. Might push me to the performance model instead if the range isn't quite there for the LR
Ionity signed with Extra. Tesla signed with Welcome Break and more recently Moto. These new Rugby services are a Moto site.
I live just outside Chester. I did the journey to Huntingdon. LR AWD. Started at 100%. Stopped at Norton canes and topped up from 72 to 80. Then on to Huntingdon. Did a bit of showing off about 7% of use then back home. Made it to Hilton park northbound via the M 6 toll so a bit of north and south to get to the northbound serviced. Made it with 6 %. Topped to 50% and the home with 25%. Good weather and 70 all the way. Next time I do this journey I will stop at Corley until the Rugby service station is open. Hope this helps.
You are mixing the three different potential MSA sites in this area:
- "Rugby", the one we are talking about here, near M6 J1. This has planning permission and is under construction. Operator is Moto and their plans show Tesla superchargers.
- Solihull M42 J4. Proposal by Applegreen/Welcome Break, with Tesla, Instavolt and Ecotricity charging. Still awaiting planning decision - reference PL/2016/02754/MAJFOT .
- Solihull M42 J5-J6. Proposal by Extra, with Ionity charging. Still awaiting planning decision - reference PL/2015/51409/PPOL.
