    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Don't think so, certainly not for me (I've checked a few times with teslamate to be sure)

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I got a good tip somewhere on this forum which has been working well for me for several months on IO; Set the car schedule to start charging at 2330 - there's then no faff of manually stopping the charge in the Tesla app. IO still successfully creates a schedule and if it wanted to can still...

    Energy Provider Question

    Sorry poor choice of words. I agree - IO is probably best for most on here

    Energy Provider Question

    We'll if we're playing that game :) (I got lucky renewing on Go Faster last year, I'll probably do IO too when my Go term ends in April, but depending on circumstances (e.g. low mileage/high household usage) I guess tracker may be better for some)

    Energy Provider Question

    Octopus tracker also worth a look if overnight rate isn't important to you (currently around 23p/kWh all day and 17p/day standing charge Vs 33p/kWh and 44p/day for energy price guarantee cap)

    Octopus Go

    There are assumptions clearly stated. Let me know which bit isn't correct. (Edit: I suppose the point is a ready reckoner that if expected annual mileage is significantly greater than around say 4000 then not worth the effort going through half hourly data. If it is around 4000 then I agree...

    Octopus Go

    Average annual UK household elec usage: 2900kWh (are you likely to be significantly different from average?). Household elec cost (assume all consumed in the day, do you use much household elec at night?); 2900 x 35.06 = £1,007 (shell) 2900 x 44.35 = £1,286 (octopus) So, difference of £281 on...

    [UK] 2022.24

    I'm a cheapskate and don't pay for Tesla premium connectivity, nor do I have a Spotify subscription. However prior to 2022.24 I enjoyed listening to Spotify using the free Tesla account using a WiFi hotspot. After the 2022.24 update I'm logged out of Spotify - just presented with the Spotify...

    Long delay replacing Model 3 Windscreen

    Sorry won't help those with more significant damage but I was pleasantly surprised by a £10 DIY windscreen repair kit. I had a star chip ~35mm size, pretty much central to the whole windscreen, and was nervous about my MOT due in September (and the crack growing). Only intended the DIY kit to...

    true range (kWh) of a September 2019 Long range vs the entry level 2022 M3

    Agreed with ACarneiro range in miles depends on so many things, but I guess OPs implication may be relative range when external factors are equal, which I think would boil down to battery pack size, chemistry, and power train efficiency (?). My understanding is 2019 LR battery back is 72kWh NCA...

    Vendor Have you had worn or failing/failed suspension bushes/arms replaced on your Telsa?

    Going into service centre tomorrow to resolve squeaky/creaky front driver's side suspension on 2019 M3 with 35k miles. The repair estimate breakdown on the app currently shows they're planning to replace both front control arms (1044326-00-J and 1044321-00-J) and resealing the ball joints...

    Hotspot instead of Tesla connectivity

    This isn't my experience, I can (manually) connect to WiFi hotspot (and switch between WiFi hotspots) whilst in drive. Not ideal faffing with the screen to do so though.

    Wiki [UK] V11 UI Changes and Features

    Hi all, not a massive fan of v11, particularly losing the trip cards, but giving Tesla benefit of the doubt - maybe it lays some groundwork for future flexibility with greater range of apps etc.(?) A couple of minor [model 3] queries though; a) Any way to turn on driver's seat heater without...

    Model 3 rear seat comfort for adults on long journey.

    There should be plenty of space for 5ft11in (I'm 5,10 and so long as front seat is not way back it's fine) but road sickness / noise is worse than my previous car (audi a4).

    Insurance UK

    I tried these guys, unfortunately they wouldn't insure me, which is a shame as the model looks innovative/interesting. Seems I'm too young (33) and too few NCD years (2) (I had a company car for many years), when I played with the sliders 35years old and 3 years NCD seemed to be the minimum.

    M3 SR+ Long-term Airport Parking

    Haven't left my M3 LR for more than 10 days but during that time it dropped by something like 1%/day if i remember correctly, maybe less. You'll be fine if you start at 90%. Just remember to turn off sentry mode so the car can go to sleep. With sentry mode on you'd be looking at more like...

    Octopus Plans and renewals

    Sorry for pure speculation (and I don't have a 5 terminal smart meter) but FWIW as an Octopus customer of 2+ years I'd be very surprised by if they cater for a 5th terminal for off-peak rate in the way an E7 meter would do. They have Go, Go Faster, Agile; all on different unit rates at different...

    Premium connectivity Spotify

    Tesla Premium Connectivity or Spotify Premium subscription? My understanding is one or other (or both) required to get Spotify playing (phone hotspot would allow using Spotify subscription without Premium Connectivity). Would be happy to be wrong though, I'm a cheapskate with neither, so...

    Model 3 LR AWD Premium Connectivity Ending Soon

    I'm considering premium connectivity, but only if the Tesla login to spotify is still a thing (I don't have a spotify subscription) - can anyone confirm this? The Tesla connectivity page states a paid subscription is required. Thanks!

    Octopus Smart Meter Experiences

    In my experience and from reading these forums, there's two steps before you can get onto their smart tariffs; 1. Getting a smart meter installed 2. Octopus collect a couple of days of smart meter readings (so they know it's communicating properly) You may already have a [SMETS2 or 'liberty100'...

    Octopus Energy referral code please

    hi - i had very similar situation, simply switch onto a standard tariff, after a few days of being with octopus they'll confirm they're receiving your smart meter readings and you can change tariff to Go. I've messaged you a referral link :). Cheers,

    Premium connectivity [service provider] changing

    Looks like (as of ~2weeks ago?) spotify access no longer included (even with hotspot) (unless you have a spotify premium account).

    Charge My Tesla Android App - Looking for Beta testers

    That's a shame, I've had good usage from your app (though needed much less during lockdown). Cloud schedule has worked well, it's probably not worth a subscription cost to me though, feel free to remove me from the cloud schedule. Thanks again for your efforts on creating the app!

    Noise Reduction Kits - Yes or No

    It made small but noticeable difference for me. The noise was slightly dullened /lower frequency after install (I think now hearing slightly less wind noise but road noise the same).

    You have a good case, definitely conceivable/likely that it wasn't mentioned at the point you ordered on 9th june - the website text changed to say "1 year included" somewhere between 4th june and 16th july. Free premium Connectivity ending
