My understanding is that the Holes Bay (Poole) storage is for grid support purposes, and is not directly concerned with a Tesla charging station. It would be nice if there were charging stations there mind you.
There is also supposed to be a Tesla showroom/service centre going into the Poole/Bournemouth area. Exactly where I am not sure.
The Tesla chargers that were supposed to be going in at Dorchester were - I thought - going to be associated with the new KFC just off the Dorchester bypass. That would fill a very obvious gap in the network. Unfortunately the KFC got built quickly and the Tesla chargers are still (so far) absent. So coming not so soon.
AMESBURY 8 x V3 under construction!
8 x V3 posts - not quite in the position originally marked
I reckon N51.177 W1.756
It's been a long time coming....

Yeh my post was a little tongue in cheek. Tis interesting though about the Holes Bay Megapack, no large scale renewables in the immediate vicinity though...wonder if Elon promised them he could build it in 100 days or its free...
Looks like they have many other sites in the pipe in the UK. Holes Bay looks comparatively tiny...

If someone can get a SC confirmed for one of (areas of) Carmarthen, Haverfordwest or Fishguard I’ll buy them 1000 supercharging miles and a cuddly toy.
The Amesbury location is a good one, gives an alternative route for the M4/A34 schlep to/from south coast.

Despite the grey "coming soon" pin on Tesla's own Supercharger map, and @Spacey73 's report of Superchargers to be "built ready for 18th" I admit I thought "18th of when? I'll believe it when I see it!". Great news and a key road network location. I bet these will be busy when they are up and running.

Zooming in on the Supercharge.info map, the location plots on Solstace Park Avenue - I'd add an extra decimal place to nudge the marker into the carpark, judging by @Mr Miserable 's pictures I think 51.17720, -1.756400 looks about right.

I'm guessing that Holes Bay is for grid support reasons. There used to be a power station nearby which was the main source for the BCP conurbation. Now that has gone the BCP is simply a sink with distant sources, and that inevitably leads to bottlenecked transmission. Increasingly inner-city storage is being used to delay/defer transmission/distribution upgrades, with the batteries acting as peakshavers. There could be other reasons, but that's my guess.

Living less than 5 miles away and after waitng 5 years for this to happen, it seems like this site is going to be a 5 star!
Spoke to one of the construction gang through the fence over the weekend.
He indicated, how truthfully or not I cannot confirm, that, there will be more than 8 chargers and all V3.
Not sure if anyone has seen or picked up on the the grey sub-station next to the green control shed?
This might be evidence of more stands to come perhaps as many as 16. Great choice for the site with so many walkable amenities all around it.
One small hiccup, we might be waiting a while longer for connection from the DNO.
Looking on the bright side it will give us Models S and X owners time to get the CCS combo upgrade done. I've ordered mine 'Free for life charging' just got much better. Adios, Norton Park !
WD Tesla! It's going to have been worth the wait

Seems like there’s a bit of a renewed drive to get the next phase of the Tesla network rolling out - wonder what their target state is in say 2-3 years time in terms of additional locations / number of V2/V3 points country wide ?
I do think there’s a few more out there (like Amesbury) that will sneak out. Especially how they can be installed without planning.
Service centres seem to be an easy win lately. Although most don’t appear to have 24/7 facilities which is poor in my mind.
The Berwick / East coast gap looks huge. There’s a new retail park being built (planning submitted) which seems prime location (Costa, McDonalds etc), just off the A1 but no mention of electric bays.
Any updates on Edinburgh? The equipment was delivered weeks ago, but seen mentioned they were thinking about relocating as it was a small unit...
