See also the several threads on the compatibility or otherwise of various MG5 models with Tesla superchargers, and whether it might cost you a lot to get it fixed if necessary.
Hi, what MG5 do you have!
2023 LR pre-facelift.
How do you mean ?
A site with 13 chargers may only have 8 open to all. Reason I say that is twice now been to sites and app has shown some out of order. First time inadvertently used one and it didn’t work. Moved to another and it was fine. Then a Tesla came to the first one and charged with no issues. Leads to to believe that where it says ‘out of service’ on the open to all, it just means those ones aren’t open to all.
Is it only sites with 13 chargers? Very spooky if it is.... It may also be the type of supercharger. All work with a Tesla but type 2s are not open, type 3 are open with hardware and software upgrades and type 4 should be open to all. Haven't seen any sites with mixed charger types though.
You also need an update to address this. Time to talk to your dealer as it appears slot availability at most dealers is several weeks now and that should give some time for the latest can it/will it discussions to be resolved. Your car is late enough to just need an upgrade.
It is a bit more complicated as some need nothing, some need a software upgrade and some need new hardware and software. See here: Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR Skip to the end ish for the latest position.
Yes some are allowing non Tesla use, we recently travelled to Cornwall and topped up using Tesla at Darts Farm near Exeter, excellent and cheaper than the other big players,
Me too with my MG4 Trophy. Charged at Reading Services westbound on the V4 Tesla chargers. Worked fine and it was 45p per kWh. Nearly half the price of some!
