Hey, that seems to have cleared the issue. The thread is back to normal for me. Thanks.
What I wanted to say way, can someone confirm that open Tesla sites are indeed still working for the MG4? Because if this weather goes on I'm going to need them!

The two sites at Todhills and Gretna Outlet worked for me at the weekend. (Contactless payment, not via app - see post #19 on the previous page).

Thanks, I think I saw you saying that. What I really need to know is whether the ones where you can only charge through the app are still working. Perth, Aviemore, Inverness and Fort William are all that kind.

Perhaps Elon is throwing his toys out of the pram as far as China's concerned ? He'll be sorry when his overpriced car company goes out of business

This has already been discussed, see the post below, and the solution 3 posts after that.
I've merged the threads.
something a bit fishy this morning...MG removed from the 'Vehicle Details' of the Tesla App where you can indicate your EV type for open supercharging

Designed specifically for Tesla ... yet still shows virtually every other car maker. 
Interestingly ... I went to have a look at the list to see if other Chinese brands were removed and the app seems to be taking ages to load - I wonder if the Tesla app portal is experiencing a DDOS attack?

Just tried this on my phone and got into the app almost immediately, so I don't think the portal is under any sort of attack.
@DaevM the fact that several users are reporting here that they have successfully charged at Tesla Open Sites very recently rather suggests that Google just might have got it wrong, again!

I turned off WiFi and used mobile data and was able to get in.
Looking again at the list then there's certainly no BYD or Xpeng or Geely. There's NIO though.

Yup, Google ai is known as artificial stupidity in our house. Run everything off it. Never rely on it .... hence the ".... or not" ( always the proviso when dealing with Google)

I'm wondering if thy confused Nio with Nissan's sports marque, Nismo. It looks to me that they tried to clean out all or most of the Chinese brands. Or at least the leading ones. I have no idea why, though.
