Sorry I can't contribute, as I've not used that station. However, I'm a big fan of this channel and love the content. Looking forward to the 85X video coming up, as I drive a 80X 2023 model. Liked 👍 👍 👍 ❤ (On another note, I managed a charging speed of 144kW at Tesla Flint Station, and took a photo of it)😊
I get my Enyaq iv60 company car next week, can’t wait. I’ve watched all of your RUclips videos, which are great! We share similarities in routes for work. I live in Newcastle, have an office in Livingston and an office in MK. My company pay me 9p per mile and supply a home charger, but if I charge on the go, it’s still 9p per mile reimbursement. Any recommendations on monthly subscriptions? And good / cheap charging points in Livingston and MK. Jak.
I had the same last week. 2023 Enyaq satnav suggested using the Tesla chargers at Reading westbound services. I knew there was a bank of gridserve opposite the tesla ones but I did raise an eyebrow at whomever programmed that satnav.
Had the exact same thing reported by on my Cupra Born about two months ago. But, as you point out, it's not actually available for usage by non-Tesla vehicles... (yet?). Even if it was available, the chances of it still being available by the time you got there would be slim. It's a super busy service station, especially for Tesla users. They (the company that operates Tebay) plan to install more of their own-branded charges this year but frustratingly few of them on the southbound side.
I used them recently. It takes 2 minutes to drive to the north bound side. I expect it's because tesla used all the grid capacity on the south bound side. Tebay chargers worked well.
There are apparently other provider's chargers there now - I'll check when I next go up. There's also a charger at the garage next to the food hall just off the main Penrith junction of the M6 - though personally I'd stop and top up at Gretna services before passing through Cumbria - have you also stopped at the Carnforth Porsche dealer, do they have chargers there like some of the other dealers? (the Skoda Powerpass permits use at them - though I am expecting an update to the phone apps imminently now to merge the Powerpass app and the Skoda app....)
I've stopped at porsche but at night there's no facilities at all. Gretna is rubbish, 4 chargers and a walk along the road to get to the services. Carlisle is much better. Not it's a bit too close to Edinburgh to get the battery empty enough.

Could you put a post up on how to enable the battery conditioning with an obd. You said it can be done ?
I'll try but you need the bonnet open so it's not really very useful

Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks, will do!
