Just out of curiosity, does this mean that the Superchargers at West Drayton have now been retrofittted with CCS connectors?West Drayton Supercharger currently switched off as site will be handling large number of M3 deliveries and Tesla wish to discourage unnecessary traffic to the site.

I picked up my M3 today from West Drayton, the superchargers are working but there was a queue. The SC that I used had CCS charger, I'm guessing they all do now.Just out of curiosity, does this mean that the Superchargers at West Drayton have now been retrofittted with CCS connectors?
The spreadsheet here:
Tracker CCS on Superchargers
reckons that they're not compatible with the Model 3, which I find hard to believe, given the volume of deliveries they're trying to get through.
Because it was busy hence the low charge speed and sharing the chargers. Also depends on your SOCI picked up my M3 today from West Drayton, the superchargers are working but there was a queue. The SC that I used had CCS charger, I'm guessing they all do now.
Interestingly it was charging at about 100m/hour does that sound right?

About 150miles, used the supercharger for a while to get it to 210.What was it charged to when you took delivery?
Same for me, took 20 mins to fully charge on the SCAbout 150miles, used the supercharger for a while to get it to 210.
Do you get charged for the initial SC miles, baring in mind Tesla haven't charged it up for you?Same for me, took 20 mins to fully charge on the SC

no one is going to want to take additional route home to charge at another supercharger first

A few people have said they didn't get charged for the initial charging, but seems to be mixed comments. The last time I have bought an ICE they gave 12 months tax and a full take a of petrol, guess it depends on your dealer.Far better off charging somewhere else. When Heathrow is rammed with handovers there will be many people leaving with half-charged cars and the car park there is very tight, so likely you will have to pair-to-charge which is at a much reduced rate.
Only reason I would charge at Heathrow, after collection, is if there wasn't another Supercharger on my route home. Car charges fastest 0% to 70%-ish, so charging from lowest SoC, and not above 80%, gives the shortest "dwell time"
I expect you were "paired", so much reduced charge rate (until the other car left)
"fully charge"? charging above 80% the rate is greatly reduced, and between 90% and 100% might well take an hour on a Supercharger (might as well use a 13 AMP plug for that bit ) ... so (generally speaking) better to move once you get to 80%, provided you have enough juice to reach another Supercharger at, say, 150 miles distance ... or your destination of course.
If you used a referral code the first 1,000 miles are free (must be used within 6 months), otherwise charged.
A while since I bought an ICE, but they never gave me a full tank of petrol, and frequently only 6 months road tax ...
My M3 was off the transporter, washed, and handed over within 30 minutes ... no time to charge as well, so it was charged at port on arrive in EU and that's it, might well have been a week? getting to handover after that. Can't remember exactly but well over 100 miles range, which was plenty to get to M25/A1 South Mimms Supercharger.
they didn't get charged for the initial charging,
I guess the issue is that some people might have far travel and would be nervous with only 20-30% range (or whatever they come shipped with) to get to the next supercharger. I have to say though that the range estimator is pretty damned good and risked a 72mi round trip with only 99mi. Got back home with 25mi to spare with a full loaded car and AC all the way.Tesla Chaos might account for that! But, I agree with you - Tesla big handovers are compromised for also trying to 100% charge vehicles. Simple answer would be to give everyone a free 100 mile Supercharge or something like that.
