I had missed the post you sent sent in April, but again it is another change even from that. The timings and prices are different now. They are clearly experimenting with the time bands and costs presumably to try to affect the queues.
When I arrived at Scotch Corner at 3.30pm on Sunday it was showing a 15min delay and there were queues until after 5pm. I waited until about 8pm to do my top up and it was then I noticed the change. I am sure it has also been back to just the two bands of peak and off peak up until recently because I charge here most weeks and had not spotted this change.
Trentham expansion now live in the app, but not yet showing in the charge your non-Tesla section
It was the same with Reading Westbound Services. It took a few days to appear in the App, but you could use a contactless bank card.

we know for a fact it will be do we? or are we just assuming based on them being V4?
Apparently, non-Teslas have used them using contactless bank cards. It will be interesting to see if the existing V3 chargers will be open to non-Teslas.
I used the first v4 installation in France at Riom and although open to non-Teslas, the chargers did not have any card payment facility - I assume it was only available via an App. The Tottenham chargers have the contactless card function and it would seem to be the way ahead for future installations.

The only point for v4s existence is to make it easier to charge non-Tesla’s. Longer cable and contactless payment hasn’t exactly been a burning requirement for Tesla cars now has it

Has this one been mentioned yet?
Gipsy Lane Retail Park, Luton - looks like 16 x V3

right next to the airport, so super handy for a charge after a flight back to LTN too.

Good news. Notwithstanding potential congestion this appears to plug a bit of a gap on the M1 north of London.
Agreed the bases in the tweeted photos look rounded suggesting they will be V3. Based on the photos I estimate the exact location to be just beyond the McDonald's at (51.871900, -0.397300).
Another forum is reporting possible groundwork by one of the companies Tesla use for Superchargers at the Holiday Inn Preston South at Bamber Bridge PR5 8AA.
Tesla have a Preston marker for a possible future Supercharger site.

There are signs of activity at the new Manchester Tesla centre on Ashton New Road / Rowsley Street, including trenches across the car parks where the superchargers will be:

Sunak needs this up and running so that he can legit cancel HS2 to the north.
Re Tamworth services, apparently both Tesla and Gridserve superchargers are due to be installed by around December or January. I don't have any further details, but it would be great if they can stick to that schedule (not least because it's been "coming soon" for so many years!).

Judging by the new wrapped cabs, looks like Lifton is getting 16 x v4…
