Tesla Destination Chargers Explained - Tesla Owners UK
All destination chargers are free to use although there may be an expectation to use the services at the location where the chargers are situated, e.g. restaurant/hotel guests only.

Oh yes, the Tesla App! Real value, because it's one of those 'Hey, we've got your credit card#, and now we're gonna make it real difficult for you to stop the monthly payments going through..' type of business models. In other words, very unethical. If you subscribe to the Non-tesla charging plan at $10 per month and decide later to stop it, good luck! If you try and cancel your payment method, a notice comes up threatening that the plan will still continue. After finally finding a 'cancel subscription', it just takes you back to the first screen, which then offers the same menu option. If you perservere, you will finally find a note that you will need to call tesla to cancel the subscription. I'm still not free of it, but once I am, I'm not even breathing Tesla charging again.Is it easy to use a Supercharger? I downloaded the Tesla app, but can't find any tabs to charging. Have I got the right app?
Even now in Feb 2023, it is rare to see a non-tesla charging from a Tesla charger. What it means is that you just can't do it. Despite Google being full of 'yes you can', the answer for MG's is 'no you can't'.You can’t use a Tesla Supercharger with the MG.
You can use some Tesla Destination Chargers. A Tesla Destination Charger is like a normal 7kW Home Charger as far as the MG is concerned.
The one thing that puts me off a Tesla is the absolute control over the software they have., especially by an adult adolecent like Elon.Oh yes, the Tesla App!

I was recently at the Cardiff supercharger (open to non-Teslas) and there were VW ID3s and Porsche Taycans charging successfully. This seems to be an MG problem and it would be great if this could be resolved so that these (fairly) plentiful chargers could be used.Oh yes, the Tesla App!

Yes very straightforward.Is it easy to use a Supercharger? I downloaded the Tesla app, but can't find any tabs to charging. Have I got the right app?
Not true afaik and in my experience.
Tesla have blocked MG and some others due to incompatibility with the CCS protocol. Not sure if MG or Tesla are trying to fix things?
Any update on this? ThanksI was recently at the Cardiff supercharger (open to non-Teslas) and there were VW ID3s and Porsche Taycans charging successfully. This seems to be an MG problem and it would be great if this could be resolved so that these (fairly) plentiful chargers could be used.
Do you mean specifically Cardiff? Or any open supercharger?Any update on this? Thanks
