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

    Installed the latest Tesla update this morning and at 12.15pm received email from Octopus: We’re really sorry for the bother. Tesla has changed how their cars connect to third party apps like ours, meaning drivers now need to add their Virtual Key to smart charge. It’s quick and easy to...

    Sentry mode - Thank you! Merc hit the car & drove off

    Well your experience doesn’t fill me with confidence. i emailed the video to the police, they responded “We will view this, however it is correct that you are dealing with this through your insurance company.” I have a niggling feeling I won’t hear anymore from them. Talking to my insurance...

    MG4

    Considered the MG4 but wife preferred interior of e2008 so picked up a top spec 70 plate with only 8k miles on it. I would have chosen the MG4 but it’s not my car, have to admit the interior of the e2008 is very nice and seats hold you really well. Hope the SW fix has resolved your emergency...

    Popped out to car to find it had stopped charging at 46% (limit set to 60%). I had started the charge from the ’Bump Charge’ feature in the Octopus app earlier this evening. Opened the Octopus app and it couldn’t load up the device page and eventually crashed out to the app login screen. Never...

    Birmingham (UK) Service Centre

    Hi I’ve got an appointment coming up at the Birmingham service centre and an in app message says I can’t wait onsite. Has that been anyone’s recent experience.

    Dilemma - stick or twist re vehicle choice

    Stick. We‘ve run a Kia Niro Phev 4 years now and M3LR just over a year. I use the Phev now mostly for school runs (daily 24 miles), lads Sunday football (covered in mud 😁 ). Have to charge every school night unless M3 needs a top up. Cold weather the Phev petrol engine kicks to warm the...

    On IO, car didn’t charge last night, typical, the one night I didn’t check the app to see a charging schedule. I know it’s beta, just sharing as a lesson, check your app for a schedule.

    Last night I got home and forget to take my phone out of the car and later (not sure how soon afterwards) my wife got a notification that the doors were unlocked, although she didn’t tell me till later when I looked for my phone. So they fixed one bug 😁 as I tested that when first updated and it...

    unplugged the car this morning and set off when we noticed the car hadn’t charged overnight. It was the first night I hadn’t checked the app that a charge schedule had been displayed. I’m having to check and refresh the app every night I plug it in for the last few weeks. I know IO is beta so I...

    In the octopus app just change the charge limit and it will likely refresh and update the charge schedul. Happened to me a couple of times past week. I posted earlier in the week.

    same, on the device screen change the charge limit and the screen will refresh and show a schedule. This worked the other night but tonight the schedule shows one hour 30 mins to go from 33% to 85%, that’s not right at all. I guess I’ll bump charge it at 1130 tonight. hope this gets sorted...

    Car manufacturer testing scandals

    More Tesla Nav gripes

    On a drive home last Saturday I noticed it was announcing on 2 consecutive roundabouts take the 1st exit yet the map route showed it was the 2nd exit on both I needed, I know this route and the 2nd exit is correct. If I’d been somewhere new I’d probably have listened to the instruction rather...

    Long delay replacing Model 3 Windscreen

    Great service from Tesla Birmingham today, windscreen replaced, felt alien driving the car this morning after so many weeks not driving it. Time to send the paperwork to the insurance company to get reimbursed, minus window excess.

    yeah fingers crossed 🤞 they contact you. On my estimate states they’re also ‘installing Supermanifold to Compressor Pipe Insulation Foam’, £0 cost. I’m just down the M54 if any local users ever want to meet up, I think I saw another local user posting recently, maybe have a mini meet up and...

    If i join this tariff with my Tesla M3 and on nights I don’t need it charged could I plug my PHEV in (I have a dumb Rolec charger). Using the cars scheduled charging(like I do now) to charge during 11.30pm to 5.30am, will it charge on the cheaper rate, just like having the dishwasher or other...

    Hey Neil, yes raise a service appointment through the app. i received a text from Tesla that there is a major back order on windscreens but they are seeing some stock slowly come through.

    Have you booked in with Tesla? When can they fit you in? Update: LV called back and confirmed only a windscreen claim and not a normal claim logged against policy no impact or need to declare in future. So same process you described above. Now to try and get it booked in with Tesla.

    Hi again, LV are saying they’d have to log a claim as Accidental Damage, did you have to do this? I’ve asked the advisor to ask his management if any other way, I don’t want an accidental claim logged against me that could impact my renewal.
