Well that was crap!

Charging at the farmhouse we have rented. Domestic plug off an extension cable. Yes the cable is unwound fully and has an RCD before people go into meltdown! Reckon it will put 100 miles on before we head off on our adventures tomorrow ??

Oh no! Didnt you know the charging won't work effectively if you're parked within 10 metres of a car within 3 shades of the same colour spectrum

I've had the latest PCM update so apparently the boundary has now been pushed to 15m! ?

I charge a lot on a 13A socket (free at work if I am there early enough) and find it goes up 18% in 10 hours. Runs at about 2.1kW. Maybe slightly better if the weather is warm. Good luck!

Oh well it's free so it will be what it will be. Probs 14 hours.

hope future supercharging experience is better.

As noted, Trafford Centre is one of the few Tesla pilot sites for non-Tesla usage.

Chalk it up to 20/20 hindsight now, but the time you wasted getting the rapid charger to not work would have been better spent locating the real superchargers. You would have charged at up to twice the rate too.

Never mind. Enjoy your holiday.

First supercharger (Edit: fast charger) experience was a disaster. Stopped at Trafford Centre Manchester on our way to Wales. Used the Evyve 75kw charger. Would not work. Authorised my card on the app and still wouldn't work. Would not work pay and go. Spoke to a useless tech support guy on the phone. Reset it. Still no good. Wasted 45 mins. Eventually found a destination charger and connected to that. I have plenty of charge than god but wanted to get to the cottage which is a further 50 miles with almost full. I hope future supercharging experience is better.

Stop driving at the wrong side of the road!!
Try the opposite side, those chargers work absolutely fine!
I do that all of the time, not a single problem whatsoever!

Trickle charged about 90 miles worth of range last night over about 13 hours. Happy with that. Off to a place in rural Wales today that has destination 7.5kw chargers so I'll top up there. Chalk yesterdays rapid charger arse on as experience.
