Yes because Tesla Custom Integration uses the cloud API, the same as the app

It's still on the LAN And it says it's connected to the mothership ... So I presume when the servers that app connects to come back online all the historical data will be preserved. My Home Assistant connects locally also and it's fine

I am also see this odd "bitty" stop-start approach from Intelligent Octopus I think the main problem for me with this approach is reliability. Octopus occasionally loses the connection to the car and, if that happens during an off phase, charging won't start again! Also I can't see the point...

The correct wipers are the Bosch Aerotwin A622S which are 650/500mm. Until recently everyone has recommended the A871S - they fit OK but are 650/475mm - slightly too short on the passenger side leaving a small unwiped section of the screen on the passenger side of the windscreen.

@grumpybugger There are 2 things that control charging - your wall charger and the car - that are like two independent "switches". If you have Octopus controlling the car then you need to make sure the Easee charger isn't switched off (which will result in a "charging equipment not ready"...

I download my Powerwall data from the Tesla API to a CSV file using this Powershell script and then reference the external CSV file from Excel (the Data > From Text/CSV command) and analyse/slice and dice it using PivotTables. The Tesla API has historical data at 5 minute intervals so nice and...

If you have an iPhone then use Do Not Disturb instead (Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad). You can allow certain people/apps to get through to you during these times rather than being completely incommunicado. I expect Android phones would have something similar.

To stop the Powerwall discharging you set the Backup Reserve to the current level - e.g if battery is currently 56%, setting Backup Reserve to 56% effectively stops discharge.

There is Time-based Control, where you specify the import/export prices and start/end times of peak/off-peak and it will let the grid charge the car rather than discharging. The issue is it won't know about any extra slots outside of the 23:30-0530 window if you're using Intelligent, so will...

Do it the other way round: set the car to 100% (or something above the desired amount) and the Octopus app to the desired amount. I think they may have changed their logic recently (it was buggy a month or so ago for me and OK now so I assume they've been making backend changes).

Thanks for the suggestions: home location is a good one, but that is all fine. The only thing that it might be is earlier in the week I had the charging amps in the Tesla app set lower in the daytime to soak up some excess solar and inadvertently left it set low (10 amps) overnight for the IO...

Both set to 90% (If it helps, I'm a software developer with 30 years of experience, have Teslamate running in a Docker container, a UniFi setup, Home Assistant and all that jazz I might have missed something but I did try to get the basics checked off before posting here 😉) Tonight I'll turn...

Yes, a decent connection to a UniFi access point. Last night similar thing happened. TeslaMate shows it “Charging” then stops at 01:40, stays “Online” for 18 minutes then goes to sleep.

Had issues last night, trying to work out if it's IO turning the car charging off, or the car itself playing up. Started charging at 22:30 (nice, extra slot or two) but it turned off at 00:56, where it should have gone all the way through to 08:30 according to slots reported in the Octopus app...

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this pattern. I get DI_a175 "Cruise control unavailable" before (i.e. during pre-heating) or after a supercharger session (i.e. after the car has heated up the battery) - so my current theory is it's related to the car/autopilot computer overheating. Anyone...

Are you using a VPN product? Try disabling it.

Regarding east/west vs south facing in winter: we had our installation done a few months ago (end of November '22) and here's the generation numbers. As you can see east/west panels only doing a quarter of the south facing ones so far. Looking forward to their contribution later in the year...

Design flaw. You don't even need a flat battery for this to happen: Model Y - Exit Button Malfunction?

Can you share a Github Gist or something of your scripts? EDIT: this set-reserve.py script looks promising: pypowerwall/tools at main · jasonacox/pypowerwall

Don't know if this would have helped https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/

No. Most of these appear to have happened outside of an update.

Yet another from a few weeks ago:

Another one mentioned in the FB thread from a few weeks ago

Seen this quite a few times over the year - just a heads up. This post popped up today:

Today I learned that *checks notes* Pirelli are supposedly a budget tyre brand ... Seriously though - if you are going to take it up with anyone, Pirelli are the ones to be calling, not Tesla.

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

Yes (from the FB group) - also includes granny charger

Can you take a picture less zoomed in and perhaps point out what were the bits you added? It not clear from this very zoomed in photo what we're looking at.

You can get prices for the open-to-non-Tesla chargers in the Tesla app by going to the Account page, tap Charge Your Non-Tesla, zoom the map out and tap Search this region at the top, on the Site Details page you get the charging prices (I assume the "with membership" price is what Tesla owners...

£0.46/kWh on Sunday evening at Fosse Park, Leicester 😬

Beware there may be some teething problems at the moment with service centres (although might just be the Reading SC) receiving/ordering the wrong bits for the tow bar: this is from the UK Model Y Facebook group. Sound like someone at Tesla getting Model 3/Y components mixed up.

Lots of people reporting from Saturday Southampton delivery day that the 19 inch wheels are quite over-inflated. Checked mine and yes, they were about 48 PSI whereas they should be 42. Definitely improved the ride on my local country roads after I deflated them.

Wonder warming up the edges with a hairdryer will get them to flatten down?

Could turn out to be quite a fiasco. Dragging people literally hundreds of miles from where they'd actually prefer to pick their vehicles up ... to "special events" promised to be "spectacular" that are far from it. I wonder if they'll end up with a bunch of uncollected cars on Saturday that...

Interesting it's still running the v10 software. Wonder if the ones getting delivered this week are still on v10? Rather not get used to v10, only for it to update a few days later to v11.

Soon?

Image of Model Ys on the Southampton dock side on the UK 2022 Orders thread. Sorry but no indication of parcel shelf/heated wiper/double-glazed rear windows status! 😂

The latter: white tape.

The issue wasn't with the 12 volt battery, it was with the main high-voltage battery pack (see here)

Thankfully, they called back an hour or so later and managed to to sort it out 👍

Preliminary spy shots from Southampton coming through from the Model Y Facebook group 🕵️‍♂️ 😂

Got a quote online with Direct Line on Monday for Model Y, by choosing it manually from the drop down as the registration number is not yet recognised. Called up today to try to finalise, giving them the reg number from Tesla. But, the guy on the phone can't compete the quote as *his* system...

Under the i4 bonnet: From Matt Watson's Carwow review BMW i4 v Tesla Model 3 REVIEW with 0-60mph test at 14:05

I hope it's ready by Feb 19! Will be handy for a top-up coming back from Southampton docks depending on what the SoC is on my shiny new Model Y 🤞

Check out Electric Vehicle Man on YouTube, he has loads of videos that answer these sorts of question, e.g

You just realised you live in Southampton?

If it's that easy, I'll skip the bank transfer 😆

Before you send a considerable amount to Tesla, just send a test £1 (or £10 if you're feeling reckless!) to the account specified in the "Wire Transfer" section, then verify the next day (or several hours later) that it went through - e.g.

What level are they on? Are they well signposted when you’re in there? (Edit: @yessuz says level 4)
