Just been for a nose. Lots of Teslas in depot and in showroom which is still not quite open. Lots of destination chargers bit no sign of superchargers or groundworks

I holiday in Seahouses every year so this is super convenient. Is it free to access or is it residents only?

It's free to access, located between Purdy Lodge itself and the petrol station.

I was at Canary Wharf’s chargers earlier today and was only getting 30kW… a bit disappointed.
There was only one other Tesla and he/she was on the other end of the opposite bay, so unsure why I wasn’t getting 150kW on my M3.
I've just tried to use Leicester, ~8:30pm -- couldn't get in, there were gates blocking the entrance to the car park where the charging points are located. Surely these chargers will not be limited to store-open hours...
Cardiff update: new cabling for the Superchargers requires the adjacent road to be dug up and temporary traffic lights installed so the local area has been notified. Looks like it is happening in the next few days, so hopefully it will be swift from this point on.

Any chatter regarding a site on the A303 between Sparkford and Wincanton?
I popped to an independent supermarket named Teals on the A303 and got speaking to a chap who I believe is the owner of the site. He approached and said come the end of the year they will have a number of V3 Superchargers installed. I cannot see it on the coming soon map....

Interesting! He was specific about V3 Superchargers? That certainly seems very promising.... I’ll have a dig around!
33kV HV power supply is close so that’s promising.
Location seems good in relation to the other existing sites.

Maybe it should be a Gridserve site as the grid in that area would benefit.

He was specific. I probed regarding charging speed and he replied 250kw.
Good digging there PB1875.
Knowing the peak rate and the term V3 obviously shows he knows what he is talking about so has to be very strong evidence!

I'm based in Yeovil and have been driving a Leaf for almost eight years and often head along the A303 towards London... So, yes, I think 'black hole' just about covers it around here (when the Polar charger opened up at the Holiday Inn at Amesbury, there were absolute scenes in this household, let me tell you).
I drove past them this morning and yesterday and the Tesla Logos are off, so i assume no power to the units at the moment.
I used them on the Friday 2nd and it was around 6-7pm, so i wonder if Fosse Park Security got fed up and pulled the plug the next day!
Oooorrrrrr I wonder if Tesla have thrown their dummy out of the pram and turned them off and demanding their needs to be 24hr access as all other similar car parks with gates (press button to speak to security - like East Midland designer outlet)
They are also marked “temp closed” on Tesla in-car Nav. However people have reported success in charging today.
I really hope they sort this out as it is strategically well placed so will affect a lot of commuters should access not be available
