Reducing non-Tesla access to the Supercharger network

There are sites still showing as open that opened last October, and indeed even earlier than that.

I was going to use that Aimsbury one today. The kids are off school on a teacher training day and we were going to go to Stonehenge on the way to Wells for the weekend going to Longleat tommorow ( there is a big light festival thing on ) and somewhere nearby or not too far away like Glastonbury, Cheddar Gorge or somewhere else on Saturday. Unfortunately however on Tuesday night at 11pm I accidentally gave my cat 1.5 of my sons vitamin D prescription tablets (900 milligrams in total) mistaking them for her antibiotics ( the wife was doing it previously and I thought I'd help!). We realised Wednesady morning when my son was due one of his tablets. Cat then had to go to vet as an emergency and be under observation ( too much vit D is toxic to them), bloods taken and be on a drip, plus an overnight observation and drip and hopefully should be given all clear around tea time tonight ( she hasnt showed any ill effects) . So we will hopefully drive down this evening probably getting to Wells about midnight. If the route selected takes me past Aimsbury (it's that way or the M4 depending on what the sat nav picks ) we may stop for a comfort break as its about half way so I still might get to try it. Nb the vets bill for just yesterday , overnight and today would pay for a home chargepoint installation or maybe even 2!.

Fortunately the cat turned out to be ok and we left for Wells at 100% SOC on Thursday (28th) evening just after 7pm. We stopped in Aimsbury at 8.44pm and put in 14.65 kWh on a Tesla Type 3. Spent Friday at Longleat Safari Park ( fantastic light show btw ) and all day in Wells in Saturday ( no drving on Sat ) looking round the place, city centre street market ( tis a tiddly sized city) , Cathedral, Bishop's palace etc. Needless to say we watched Hot Fuzz that evening ( twas filmed there ). Today, Sunday 1st we stopped at Aimsbury on the way back at 10.50 am and put in 25.33 kWh on a Tesla Type 3. Got home with 25% battery. Could have put in less on the way back but wanted a bit of contingency.
