Not yet but with the Tesla Supercharger network (400v) opening up in Europe, trips to Ireland , and legacy / new BP EVSEs being deployed it is a no brainer to tick the box for UK / Ireland.Evening all
For those that have ticked the 150kwh DC option, how many have actually needed to use it?
Thanks

At best it's nice-to-have, but certainly not a dealbreaker.Thanks all, I should have said that I was looking at a second hand Taycan and wondered whether it was key to have it or not.
I agree. Over the last three years the Tesla Supercharger stations have become fairly busy. It's not uncommon to get a message when you plug into the charger like, "This is a busy location, your max charge is being cut back." Also the chargers are shared with one to three other chargers. So once someone parks next to you, the charging rates drops considerably. Finally, I think Tesla owners will resent other vehicle brands using the chargers. I know I did not appreciate Audi owners using the hotel Tesla destination chargers with a TeslaTap leaving me without a charger.At best it's nice-to-have, but certainly not a dealbreaker.
it makes sense that Tesla will eventually offer CCS for North American Tesla's - I believe they already work with CCS in Europe - it's unsustainable for there to be "two" networks…this will all eventually shake out and there will be more chargers for everyone - no one should be excluded from getting a fast charge just because of what vendor they purchased their vehicle from…I agree.

I am not planning to use Tesla Superchargers unless they have dedicated CCS chargers that Tesla cars cannot use.
1 year waiting time on what model?!Option ticked on my order...1 year to wait
It's unfortunate that the Tesla plug could not have been adopted by the rest of the industry. The AC/DC design is much more elegant than the unwieldy CCS plug.it makes sense that Tesla will eventually offer CCS for North American Tesla's - I believe they already work with CCS in Europe - it's unsustainable for there to be "two" networks…this will all eventually shake out and there will be more chargers for everyone - no one should be excluded from getting a fast charge just because of what vendor they purchased their vehicle from…
