After a walk through a hot and surprisingly crowded Canterbury we left for Oxford with plenty of charge. We skipped Maidstone and stopped at the Oxford SuC (5 stalls, 5 are under construction). The area has a nice peaceful feeling to it, with a Ramada hotel and a WelcomeBreak food court where we had a quick bite.

During the trip I finally understood how Tesla reads signs in the UK. First, I reset the units back to kilometres. Apparently, the instrument panel always shows the speed it actually reads, no matter the unit setting. So if the speed limit is 70 mph, the display shows 70, but when I set the TACC to that speed, it becomes 118 kmh! Confusing but there is logic to its madness.
When we arrived in Oxford at our B&B (Actually, this B&B turned out to be just the first B without the second B, so just a B), it started raining. We waited until the rain stopped and then took the bus to the city center. It was a marvellous experience: the sun was setting, the sky was clearing up, the streets were quiet and the ancient buildings were still and mysterious. An impression follows below.
