Ok so the last bit is a bit ranty but the point still stands that promoting half price charging with the caveat that you can't charge the following day is a bit pony.u ok hun? dm me x

Doesn’t surprise me. I was at Membury services charging and a lady pulled in with her brand new Model 3 and had no idea what she was doing - likely because the handover at Tesla now is ‘here’s the car, off you go’ and not everyone reads up on how to do this stuff in advance. In any case, she clearly needed help and instead of offering to help or show her what needed doing, the chap in the next bay in his Model X decided to watch and laugh at her. The guy the other side avoided all eye contact.
I showed her what she needed to do (hadn’t even set up billing in the Tesla app). She was embarrassed but very thankful that not all of us are complete tools.
Doesn't surprise me at all, some of them were like that to those who bought Model 3's in the early days.Besides that, Cardiff superchargers are hilarious. You still get super angry Tesla owners (usually Model S drivers from experience) who get proper wound up when a Polestar or Mach E pulls in to charge. I’ve seen them argue still that non-Tesla owners aren’t allowed, etc. It’s all very sad.

Octopus are promoting energy shifting for nerds. If you want economy 7 and not think about it, fill your boots.Ok so the last bit is a bit ranty but the point still stands that promoting half price charging with the caveat that you can't charge the following day is a bit pony.
Normally the data on how they can get us to change our habits by throwing a few pennies in our direction is payment enough though.There is no such thing as a free lunch...
I'm not fussed myself. I'm tight as a ducks anus generally when it comes to spending money but even I can't be bothered jumping through hoops to try and reduce my whopping 7kWh average daily usage.Octopus are promoting energy shifting for nerds.

Some special souls in the Tesla owners group went all mums net in the owners group today because one of them spotted another Tesla which had the audacity to park in a V4 supercharger bay.... wait for it....forwards.![]()
Expect it to be busy. I was there on the first Sunday of the school holidays at lunchtime and it was full, no queue but each time someone left, the slot was filled within a few minutes. The chargers were also hitting the site power limit also so not blisteringly fast either. There were a few SWARCO units available and turning over cars as you'd expect.Might take both mine and the Mrs EV’s (Polestar and EQC) to the Gloucester services Supercharger tomorrow and see what happens…
By this same metric I assume that people desperate enough to stop at Knutsford are stood by their car ready to yank the charging cable out the second they have enough charge?Expect it to be busy.

Gloucester and Tebay are excellent services but the downside of places like Gloucester and Tebay is they are excellent services and people don't stop for a splash and dash. Everyone is there for at least 20-30 mins because they want to be not because they have to be.
That's pretty much my approach when I need to stop at the likes of Grantham and BlythBy this same metric I assume that people desperate enough to stop at Knutsford are stood by their car ready to yank the charging cable out the second they have enough charge?![]()
