Tesla Supercharger membership now £8.99p/m or £90 for year

[T16ger]

According to the Tesla app there is now one open to all at Leeds and I can confirm that is the case as I used it yesterday as we were heading to Crown Point retail park which isn’t far away from these. I used the app and everything worked perfectly and as we were before 10am it worked out at 43p per KW. I haven’t subscribed to the membership as I would only be using chargers now and again if going on a long trip.

This was my first time using Telsla and was curious how I would go on as next weekend we are heading over to Chester and possibly having a drive to Llandudno and I have noticed that there are some Tesla chargers at Flint and was thinking of doing a top up at there.

Let me know if Flint Mountain works for you. I have tried there and failed, but I'm not convinced that the dealer in Cheshire Oaks actually applied the update to my car, despite saying they did.

The Fraddon one is just down the road from me, it's open and working.

... as are the Gloucester ones, it's pretty impressive as to how Tesla has expanded their network over the past couple of years to non-Tesla cars. I've never had a single issue with them, and have almost always never that to wait (once at Aviemore I think). I managed to eke out Gretna to Trentham yesterday ~ 170 miles, so reckon that its now possible to do all the way from John O'Groats to Land's End using only Tesla superchargers. Another thing is how much Gridserve have progressed at traditional service stations.

Yesterday I really wished the Tebay Teslas were open. Only four non-Tesla chargers and squillions of space at the Teslas. Still, I was first in the queue and didn't have to wait long. And when I got back after lunch the superchargers were actually heaving with Teslas.

The guy who made my toastie sad they have plans to fill half a field with chargers though. In between telling me about the guy who came through doing JoG to LE in an EV and was trying to do it with only two stops. Not quite sure how that works...

Gretna to Trentham? I just managed Tebay to Trentham yesterday in my SE SR!

Gretna to Trentham? I just managed Tebay to Trentham yesterday in my SE SR!

... only because I had a full battery, stuck to 60mph, and a southerly tail wind off Shap - I was going to stop at the new gridserve at Sandbach, but realised I had enough to carry on, I'm back up on Saturday, so will probably do a quick stop at Forton ( new Gridserve )

I know it's not Tesla, but the new Ionity at Lancaster is amazing! I did two small charges on my Edinburgh to Warrington trip last night, one at Gretna Tesla and the other at Ionity Lancaster.

I've used the Flint ones a few times with no issues ?

I know, massive improvement in the quality (and availability) of quick DC charging on the M6, I regularly do a 241 mile trip, I'm now quite confident now that i can do the whole journey, with a quick stop, last week it was 13mins (i.e. similar to an ICE car - albeit if I go over 65mph, then the range drops a fair bit - as with winter temperature)

I started on 97% (leisurely lunch) but the weather was atrocious with heavy rain showers and headwinds, and I was not doing 60.

\My route to Scotland is A1, A66, M6.
140 miles to get to Harrogate Tesla @ 33p and a rather nice country store rather than 79p and the dismal Tebay services. Adding 50% charge more than offsets the monthly charge and that gets me through to Larkhall on the outskirts of Glasgow. Thank you Mr Musk.

 

[Rolfe]

Tebay is a lot less dismal than some!

You may be right I meant Wetherby is miserable which is on the A1

 

[Rolfe]

Ah.

Looks as if it opened (to all as well) today

New Tesla Supercharger: Gretna, UK - Caledonia Park (16 stalls)

 

[DixieTGS]

It's been showing as opened on the tesla Web map and on ABRP for a few days now (map claims 7 days). ABRP uses it OK but seems to have no pricing, with total route cost only being the total of all other stops.

Today's ABRP update didn't fix it. Do other people see the cost OK? If so I'll start checking all my settings and delete the cache etc.

... it came online last friday, todhills (Southbound only) came online today.

 

[Rolfe]

Todhills southbound? Really? This may be relevant to my interests.

... and mine - I'll check it out this weekend (I do know that when I last visited they had around 12 Gridserve 350kW chargers)

Is the Costa place still open at Todhills? (Looked closed last time I passed it).

I think its open, it just looks closed (& very dated) ?
