He’d need to embrace an App Store (and expect loads of developers to port to yet another platform) or use Google App Store in which case it’s just another Android phone with a few USPs. I can see the Android phone makers losing out whereas Apple users probably won’t care less

For context, I think we already have a 10% import duty so this is an increase rather than a new tax if it goes ahead.

I was having a read over the new API details and it suggests that vehicle data will be sent from a cache if the car is asleep - ie Tesla remember the last known state and provide that for the basic get_data request, before it wouldn't return anything saying the car is asleep. I've heard this...

A speedo can never read under, the tolerance is only on over reading so you should only ever be going at or slower than the indicated speed - it says that above in the second part I believe the tolerance was nothing more than "being reasonable" threshold and either way, its guidance only and...

That’s a classic case of finding the most optimistic spin on a topic that you can. As already posted Tesla sales are falling fairly dramatically in a growing market, and while in absolute terms the headline might be true, the direction of travel in the U.K. is very much bad for Tesla.

The autopilot suspension seems to be just a strike is removed for every week of clean driving. The previous approach just continued to rot up so even a relatively good driver/user would end up being banned for a week

Those better informed than me will answer but I believe our meters only report half hour consumption so if the half hour is cheap, the whole half hour is cheap. I’m on another slot and the car has t started charging (yet) but it’s down on the smart charging schedule so I presume they’ll take...

Model 3 extended mudguards can rub along the ground under suspension travel if you’ve recently fitted them or you have become a bit more enthusiastic about your driving? Both M3 and MY can rub on speed humps.

I don’t doubt it, I did ask for forgiveness for not going back reading Blame the kettle :) (hope it’s not inconvenienced you too much) Mine did and I’ve still a few percent to go with a 30 min slot showing at 8:00 and another at 9:00. Washing machine is ready go.. This is a side of octopus I...

I’m not convinced about everything being cheaper just yet, the faq says It doesn’t say all consumption is at the cheaper rate. More than happy to be proven wrong but I’ll not fil my boots just in case

Interesting, I’m going to change my “required by” time to 11:00 and see if I get a few cheap slots early morning as they’d be more useful

Whereas my device is saying this

I’m thinking this page

I have 1 mins of cheap electricity.. I’ll assume the app can’t keep up with these periods as it’s def saying the current rate is daytime but the car is scheduled and is actually charging. Edit: I’ve been extended for another 30 mins… A nice bonus but the wife thinks we could have got an...

Thanks - it must know the energy supplied to the car somehow (via the api I guess) to bill correctly. Octopus app says the rate is the daytime rate which figures Kettle will stay off!
