    Supercharger team sacked?

    I watched as much of the Munro video as I could stomach. I've enjoyed the teardowns etc ever since they started making videos of them, but this was the first time I've heard Sandy saying you had no furhter need for an R&D dept as you already had the best charger. Given that SuC have developed...

    Supercharger team sacked?

    I can see you're trying to be constructive here, but the figures are way out.. Commercial costs for electricity are significantly higher than the domestic energy price. So your 26p/kWh is not accurate. I don't have business rates, but the reason most other suppliers are charging 70-80p/kWh is...

    Helvetia (& Tesla?) no longer offering extended warranties

    Just wondering why you only have 62.5k miles total allowed, have you only covered12.5k miles in the first 4 years?

    Supercharger team sacked?

    I saw a comment on a social thread yesterday that went, "the MSM are playing draughts while Elon is playing chess." My initial thought was that a) there isn't much reporting in the MSM, it seems to be mostly Tesla owners reacting on SM, and b) what happens if the game actually is draughts and...

    Octopus Founders - a little thankyou from Octopus

    That's encouraging. I suspect if you live in an area with consistent RM staffing, it probably works.

    Octopus Founders - a little thankyou from Octopus

    I filled that in several years ago. It made not the slightest difference. We have a different postie most days - the chance of any communication needed to make sure these opt-outs are heeded is approx. zero. RM rely on their income from all the junk ad material, so I suspect they treated my copy...

    Positive Service Experience!

    My experience of Leeds has been excellent. Two SC visits and two ranger visits. All gone perfectly. I think Leeds is up there as one of the best SCs in the country from the stories I see about some of the others.

    LFP Model Y battery drain whilst on Holiday

    Just worth pointing out that if you're using an airport parking service and they take your key to go park the car elsewhere, or might move it whilst you're away, then you need to turn Sentry off using the slider in the safety menu before you leave it and make sure that has been done for the...

    Recurring heating issue

    Cleevely EV are doing component level repairs on Tesla PTC heater units. See this recent post from their Facebook feed..

    Supercharger team sacked?

    At least one comment said it was just another hit piece like the Reuter's one about Model 2... Given that the link I posted was to the senior site acquisition manager, its not beyond the realms of possibility that losing folk like that will impact network expansion. I've long been a supporter...

    Supercharger team sacked?

    For those saying this was another made up, Fred / Electrek FUD story earlier in this thread, here's a link to George Bahadue's (formerly Sr. Manager, Site Acquisition and Business Development - Commercial Charging, at Tesla - until 3.34am today) Linked In post about his dismissal.

    Octopus IOG, Zappi and Eco+

    You just need to temporarily turn off your smart-charging in the Octopus App, go to the menu (top left head/face icon), select Devices, your Intelligent device, then scroll down and move the smart charging slider left. When you plug in, even on Eco+, IO detects the connection and tries to create...

    Supercharger team sacked?

    Is this why loads of SuC have become open to all overnight here? Revenge? Just opening up all the one's planned before they get made redundant?

    Octopus Founders - a little thankyou from Octopus

    I also got this in the post today, having inexplicably received the points a few days ago. I'd already banked them before I was offered today's opportunity to exchange them for a T-shirt. I really rate Octopus, but this seems like unnecessary waste to me. I haven't scratched off the map yet, but...

    Tesla Approved-Used vs. Parkers, CAP etc. price chasm

    Tesla approved used come with an additional year's warranty and most have had EAP added too, which explains some of the discrepancy. Sorry you've had a write-off - presume you didn't have a GAP policy?
