O mundo todo votou para a Tesla instalar um Supercharger em Lisboa. Infelizmente a lei não permite o modelo de operação da Tesla em Portugal e a Tesla removeu a cidade da lista. Perdeu-se um boa oportunidade de melhorar a rede Portuguesa. @antoniocostapm @TeslaCharging @AMME_pt @govpt @ambiente_pt

A situação dos Supercharger da Tesla, bloqueados e sem expansão em Portugal, é um problema que se arrasta há demasiado tempo, que toda a comunidade afeta à Mobilidade Elétrica conhece demasiado bem e que urge resolver com a maior celeridade. O TCP associou-se à @amme_pt - Associação para a modernização da mobilidade eléctrica - para dar voz aos utilizadores - não apenas aos proprietários Tesla, mas a todos os utilizadores de veículos elétricos - para que cheguemos o quanto antes a uma solução positiva e que a todos satisfaça e beneficie. Para tal propomo-nos a enviar, em nome de todos os que o pretendam, cartas físicas à atenção da Tesla e do Governo Português a exigir respostas e soluções para este problema. Não pretendemos dirimir culpas ou argumentos, mas sim fazer chegar preocupações e exigência de respostas de ambas as partes que, em conjunto, têm a obrigação de encontrar uma solução célere para um problema que prejudica claramente todos os Utilizadores.

Dear @tesla/@elonmusk/@teslaeurope, Our members are frustrated to the point that open letters are being written. 2 years without opening a Supercharger, already built locations are still to be open. Pls take a look. 🙏 Here’s the open letter from @SeCosta, one of our vocal members and Club Event Manager: Open Letter to Tesla Portugal Dear representatives of Tesla Portugal: This is possibly one of the most sensitive and difficult topics to address, and as time goes by, the situation only worsens. This weekend, I organized the Douro Sunset 2023 event, something I have been doing since 2020, always with the intention of welcoming the Tesla Community to new owners, exchanging impressions with long-time owners, and ultimately sharing stories, expectations, and experiences. Fate would have it that the day we celebrate this gathering would also be the 850th day since the beginning of the construction of the Matosinhos Supercharger (with the Castelo Branco one being only a few days "newer"). Currently, one of the most frequently asked questions in our cyber space is precisely when these Superchargers will open. Although we received your response a few months ago from Hugo Pinto, Co-Administrator of the Tesla Club Portugal Facebook group, I regret to say that the response - after months of insistence - was a "handful of nothing." And we, Portuguese owners, deserve more. Much more. Tesla sells more vehicles in Portugal than in Spain, a country four times larger. Tesla sold more vehicles in Portugal in January and February 2023 than in the entire year of 2022. In Europe, one out of every 26 Tesla vehicles is sold in Portugal. Tesla has not opened a Supercharger in Portugal since August 24, 2020 - Loulé (and I was present at the inauguration event). It is June 2023. There are increasingly more Tesla vehicles on Portuguese roads. There are critical moments of use when the installed infrastructure is no longer sufficient. We have the glaring example of Alcácer do Sal: We know that the infrastructure cannot be scaled for peak situations. Three years ago, it was adequate. Two years ago, it was sufficient. Last year, there were already quite frequent situations - particularly on weekends during the summer months - where there were long queues. This year, we are already witnessing a worsening, compared to the previous year, as these situations now occur outside the holiday period and during the week. And so, it is urgent to ask: What is happening? Why have there been no Superchargers opening in Portugal since 2020? What are the constraints? Who are you working with to resolve these situations? What are the possible solutions? Is there anything owners can do? Frankly, more than the situation itself, it is the passivity and lack of communication on the part of Tesla that gives the feeling that Portuguese Tesla owners and the community have been abandoned by the brand regarding the Supercharger issue. As an owner, I expect seriousness, commitment, and transparency from the brand. I speak on behalf of all owners when I say that we are tired of asking for answers. Now we are demanding them.
