I think it’s probably just a glitch, but I’ve wondered about the sort of people buying Tesla’s in the UK for a while. So many better options available now, and the supercharger network is tiny in comparison to others.
My brother in law is slightly left-of-centre leaning but he said he’d still buy a Tesla because he thinks the supercharger network is still a game-changer. If he did get one I might find the occasional opportunity to draw a dick and balls on it when it gets dirty, But he currently drives a 12-year old Toyota Corolla so I don’t see him stumping up the cash for a Tesla any time soon.
As an EV driver I’ll happily tell him he’s wrong about the supercharger network being a game changer. Tesla are just 12.3% of the high power chargers in the UK. It’s not an insignificant number, but if I can only use the other 87.7% of chargers I’ll survive.
It’s a very different situation in the US. There the supercharger network has been the only one that enabled long distance travel, although that’s starting to change.
