Hi quick question as a new convert to this tariff. How long after plugging the car in should it stop charging? I am manually stopping it either from the Tesla app or my ev charger app but if I do that it doesn’t then automatically charge in the smart charge window Help would be really appreciated

So, 5 times now I’ve tried to transfer the ownership from the lease company I’ve bought my M3 from and every time it’s been rejected with a reason that makes no sense. I loved it but now I honestly wish I’d handed it back and bought something else, so infuriating

Well I for one am very happy, buying my 2020 3LR from the lease company at a price I wouldn’t have believed 3 months ago…. Tell me, are there any insurance companies out there that don’t charge a premium for Tesla’s or has the insurance market gone generally crazy in the 2.5 years I’ve had a...

Hi it did try and route me to Hilton Park but I wanted to stay on the toll so reset it, I just assumed that as it was 4pm and not peak both keele and Rugby would be relatively empty, lesson learned!

So I typically ignore the tabloids and their vitriol about EVs but had an interesting trip this week, and I wonder if there isn’t a grain of truth in the scaremongering Drove up to Chester on Wednesday, pulled into Keele and the queue was c. 15 cars so drove straight through and had to...

Keep sharing the love Tesla, your customer centric behaviour just gets better and better. Time to choose my next lease car very soon…. Opening up superchargers, charging to use standard features on your car (satnav). Certainly making a slam dunk decision one I’ll think hard before signing for...

A Tacan for me then when I replace my M3 next year, accountants running the asylum

You can, I am, you just a slightly lower rate for exported electric

Sorted, firmware update from Solaredge has me charging to my schedule again

I used to have the cheapest commute possible as on arrival at Cheshire Oaks after my 170 mile journey there were 2 Tesla destination chargers and I could fill my car for free. Sadly all great things come to an end and today I arrived to see them replaced by ChargePoint chargers. I’m wondering...

I have a solaredge EV charger and used to schedule my charges without issue. Since the last Tesla upgrade this schedule is being ignored so I either get no charging if I rely on that, or if I press charge from the app (which used to wait for the schedule) , it now starts immediately I really...

hi, yes I use it on iPhone - works absolutely fine and as you say updates every day at 4pm faultlessly. Very clearly showing me how much I'm saving now I've gone back to Go having experimented with Agile for a very short time - looks like today is one of the rare days you'll be able to fill...

I tried Agile at the start of April and lasted two weeks before switching back to Go. I honestly can’t see how the product, with today being a very rare exception, is anything other than seriously uncompetitive Rates on most days range between 11-35p /kwh and even with a battery I found...

Thanks for the guidance, I do have solar and a battery so can avoid the peak period by charging early afternoon on cloudy days... but even so it’s not even close at the moment i’ll stick with to see for a couple of weeks to see if spring sunshine brings better rates and then take a call...

Reason I changed was I wanted to get onto the outgoing tariff, but my solar will have to generate an amazing amount to balance things out didn’t realise I could revert back, will do so...

Moderator comment - thread merged from "Octopus Agile" Hi, I’m look for some guidance from those of you who are look term users of Octopus and especially Agile. I moved from Go a couple of weeks back and am being punished big time as the rates are consistently high throughout the day, each and...

So, normal biweekly commute back from Chester this evening (160 miles) - first time in the dark for a long while though. It was verging on ridiculous, must have been in double figures the number of violent incidents that occurred. why don’t Tesla admit defeat and just alter the system to a...

I went with what I thought was the logical option, solar edge inverters so solar edge charger. Works perfectly well

Thanks for the feedback, comments, hints and tips, all appreciated and informative Mine is a long range and was charged up to 90% before leaving. I had the climate on auto, at 21C. Thanks to 50 miles of average speed through the roadworks on the M6 and M1 plenty of 50/60/70 mph, with the odd...

ok, thanks for the top tip. I was visiting a client so didn't have the opportunity during the day, but there is a destination charger nearby which I'll go and sit tat before I head back next time, definitely worth 10 minutes of my time before I set off if it helps that much

I concur with the posts at the start of this mail, I didn't mail greg the ceo, but had a similar experience when I joined and once I got the operations managers mail all was sorted, credits forthcoming to cover the difference between my temporary Octopus tariff and the one I was paying...

I drove up to Chester this week and coming back I've never seen the range drop as fast. It was cold, probably 2-3 degrees, but had about 270 odd miles showing at the outset, stopped briefly at Keele to add another 40 miles or so, but only left with 50 miles on arrival for what is a 150 mile...

Hi Roy, no nothing still - only readings on the account are my manual ones. It just seems really poor - someone only has to press a button surely...

So I’ve been with Octopus for two months, patiently waiting for them to connect me to Go or Agile. They eventually said they couldn’t connect to my smart meter and replaced it with a gen 2, but that was over a week ago. I’m now at the point of being so fed up with waiting I’d like to move to...

Maxpilot, that’s kind of where my head was at thanks for the feedback and I’ll keep an eye out for any special deals

Hi I got my Model 3 two months ago and have been wondering about the Tesla stats app since watching a glowing review on the Undecided channel and generally positive reviews all round on this forum my question is, most of the reviews were posted when this was a ten pound/$ app, and it’s now...

Ok this app looks really cool, but many of the positive comments are for a $10 app, whereas it has increased in price by approximately 400%. Still worth it?

How long did Octopus take to change you onto Go or Agile? I joined them on the 28th, they tell me the smart meter is fine, but absolutely no idea when I can get onto a decent tariff to charge the car with

It’s not just the car, we also have a granny annex which we rent that only uses electric so between them the electricity charges are/will be enormous. My calculations are 8-9 year payback, time will tell. Hope I’ve calculated correctly!

Hi, first post time. Got my new LR AWD a couple of weeks ago, signed up for Octopus straight away and completed the switch yesterday. Applied straight away for Go and got an email saying it takes up to 14 days. I’ll let you know how I get on. Additionally I’ve gone full on green with my...
