False alarm: person who thought they saw superchargers was mistaken and it is just the destination chargers.Unconfirmed.: 8x Superchargers spotted as built at the ex-Intu shopping centre in Milton Keynes. Waiting for photos to confirm they are superchargers Rather than the store destination chargers.
Rudding Park isn't the SC location for Harrogate is it? New test drive event just popped up there Test drive Model 3 or Model Y in Harrogate - next Friday 4th March.
"Experience our latest Autopilot features on your local roads, visit a Supercharger to learn how to charge on the go or enjoy in-car entertainment from the driver's seat."
I can only assume they'll use the destination charger as an example and maybe this is generic text. Crimple Hall is just a few mins down the road though...

Sounds like they just regurgitate the same blurb for each event. Says the same against each 3/Y.
You’d think it would be good for them to open the Crimple Hall before this event. Otherwise it’s a pretty long drive to the next nearest at Scotch Corner or middle of Leeds.

Is there going to be more chargers build / installed in Cornwall and Devon on the western side?
I think a Newquay one was due. Aside from that Exeter, Cambourne give decent coverage for Cornwall at least (once Newquay is up)

North East England would be good to have a couple!
Ullapool, Thurso and Stranraer would be my suggestions. Ferry ports where there are no superchargers on the other side.

Exactly - How about Northern Ireland getting one, just one!
(There is one planned I know)
There were two applications around Newquay, one of which looks to be motoring ahead (Atlantic Reach Resort)
No mate it isn't. Rudding Park is a very high class hotel and only have Tesla Wall chargers for customers only.
The new Tesla Super charging site is approx 1 mile south of Harrogate on the A61 heading for Leeds in the massive garden centre car park. (Still not open BTW)

Ferrybridge services looks to be nearing completion (photos taken earlier this afternoon):

Couple at Spean Bridge would be nice too for traffic going to the NW highlands via A9 rather than A82. High voltage lines nearby according to open infrastructure map.
Very strange orientation of the individual chargers - very prone to damage from reversing Teslas? Ideal for a variety of non Teslas!They look similar in regards to progress as the new ones at Harrogate. Sooner the better.

Yes, I saw someone in a Model 3 with bike carrier reverse into a supercharger tombstone. 
I guess the parking sensors don’t work well in that case, but the parking assistant (wife/partner) who was guiding the manoeuvre really should have prevented it!
