Clacketts Lane would work for meNot yet. Clackett Lane could be thought of as ‘Sevenoaks’ at a stretch, and considering it was listed on the Tesla website at the same time as Rownhams then that could make sense. Rownhams was the first Roadchef Supercharger site to be uncovered, and therefore the Clackett Lane Roadchef is a distinct possibility.
if it isn’t there then it may be just south of the M25 where there is both decent HV supply and a number of pieces of land that are viable.
With the amount of investment in HPCs at service areas this year, my money is on Clackett Lance.
as well
East Midlands designer outlet SuCs
Not sure if it has been mentioned but you can get a free coffee if you are supercharging. Go to the service desk and ask for a free coffee voucher and present your key card or show the app on phone. Then go to 200 degrees not far away to the right when you come out of the service area.
Also the signs at the superchargers are printed in reverse! So you can read them through the camera!

Great spot - the Designer Outlet is only about 5 minutes drive from home for me, so I use it quite often (have free SC for all of 2021). Had never bothered to read that sign!!

Hi all 
,
Newbie on here but been lurking for a while.
I regularly drive past the Reading Westbound (Burghfield) services (almost daily) and can keep an eye open for action if needed.
FYI I drove thru this morning and nothing going on there yet
. i.e. The area shown on the planning permission is still an overflow carpark with grass in it.
I also drove past what is due to be the new service centre last weekend. That has had no movement either that I could see.

Guildford Service Centre Superchargers now confirmed!8x V3 to be installed at far end of site as you drive in.
Timescales: dependent on negotiations, with the soonest being start of Q3 or soon after, or 6-9 months if power arrangements are more complex.

I could have done with those today...
I'm a bit out of practice with superchargers - when faced with the choice today of two spaces, I somehow ended up in both got it right second try. Probably much to the amusement of a couple of people charging. I also picked the wrong stall. Had I picked the other one, the other driver would have been off a minute or so later. But I did move over, and bumped the start charge rate from 49kW to 111kW.

Tried my luck at emailing Tesla for any updates on the Cardiff Supercharger.
Unfortunately there's still no specific date, but they'll be online 'shortly' according to the Supercharger Manager for the UK.

Any source you can share for Guildford so I can update the tracker?

I was in today talking to the service manager and he let me know the update. Power line will either be leased or not and that will dictate how rapidly it gets installed.
I was there yesterday and staff said just waiting for utility to connect them, hopefully a week or two.
NEW SITE IN AN ADVANCED STATE:
12xV3 Superchargers almost complete at Trumpington Park and Ride, Cambridge. Opening looks like it could be in the next week or two if we are lucky as tombstones are all in place. No signage up yet and I’m waiting for confirmation of whether the lines are painted and the wheel-stops are in.
Approximate postcode is CB2 9FT.

Forensics on a photo shared on FB indicates the stalls are in the location marked. Judging by Google Street View this area has been converted from a grass verge to parking spaces (and now to charging spaces). Just in case anyone wants to have a look for themselves!
A photo from an EV group was shared on the owners FB group.

It will be interesting to see what happens. In January Tesla moved their Great Chesterford marker location to central Cambridge and renamed it "Cambridge", so it could end up being the park and ride site. However in the case of Leicester when the Supercharger at Fosse Park opened the "Leicester" coming soon marker near LFE services initially disappeared but then returned to the same spot as "Leicester West".
