What's the latest on Leicester Forest East Services?

Last I heard @CMc1 was putting together a training course to answer this question

Have a search through this thread for “Newport” or “Leicester” / “LFE”. There has been a lot of talk of these locations.

No offence, but this question gets asked a lot here and the answers are repeated on regular basis, with no update.

I’ve even typed the presearch for you in this link: Search Results | Tesla Motors Club

Regarding southbound, a lot of locations can be access via the service roads from the Northbound. And vice-versa. Woodall is a prime example. Often worth checking Google Maps satellite images before hand to see if there is any roads that connect the two.

So....what's going on with Fleet?

6 of the Superchargers in Wyboston are now open!

Blimey that was quick, I'll go and try it out. brb

I don’t share the enthusiasm. Wyboston is a missed opportunity to put SuCs on the A14. Clearly the SuC planners think everyone in the UK lives in London (no thanks!).

There was this thread Supercharger - Enfield, Ireland but that’s about it. I searched planning last week and couldn’t see anything...

I read something on Twitter about there being an EV charger block of some sort in Ireland, hence the lack of chargers... Not sure of details.

Looks like more Superchargers heading to Ireland according to Elon @MarcoRP

Don't assume Tesla had access to a site at the A1/A14 junction with reasonablely cost way to get a large enough grid connection. The A428 is also becoming a better quality road for E/W tavel and will be extended to Oxfrod

Love the fact that the covers now have “Coming Soon” printed on them. Are Tesla trolling us?

I stopped at Leeds Whitehouse yesterday morning as it showed all 250kw chargers were free....great!

Pre-conditioned for arrival the battery and plugged in but the max output I got was 87kw!!

I popped into the showroom/service centre and asked and one guy shrugged and said dunno and the other guy confirmed that they hadn't been switched up to 250kw yet?

Anybody else had the some problem here or come across this before? I may as well have stopped somewhere more convenient and charged on a 50kw ecotricity!

what was your State of Charge and how long had you been driving?

 

[pgh69]

what was your State of Charge and how long had you been driving?

I had been driving for nearly 2 hours and battery was on approx 35%

What an absolute cop out by Tesla. There’s pics on PlugShare(?)/internet of people getting 248 kW including @NorfolkMustard getting 200 kW- so unless they’ve been rolled back since... he’s talking bull.

Is this normal for the location to appear before its built or is this now active?

I might swing by there next week to see if they have finished or not.

Named Columbo but missed a vital clue on the previous page.

Look like 4 V3 cabinets. Each V3 cabinet ‘serves’ 4 stalls so could well be 16 stalls total!
Largest UK V3 location?

I just went down to the Amesbury charger today and it is 16 chargers not 8
