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

    Problem solved. Yesterday afternoon I removed by M3 from the Octopus App and went through the onboarding process again. I also did a software reboot on the M3. The car received an IO schedule early evening and charged from 43% to 80% overnight. After registering the M3 with IO I received an...

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

    I'm having trouble with failed IO sessions since the last software upgrade to my M3, although this might be a coincidence. The car has failed to charge the last two nights despite getting sessions in the Octopus App. The car is registered with Octopus. Also after a failed charge the Tesla app...

    Tesla Alternative?

    I did have to a pay a little bit extra for the rest of the remaining 2 months insurance before renewal. The actual effect on the a full 12 months insurance is difficult to judge given the steep rises in Tesla insurance premiums over the last three years.

    Tesla Alternative?

    Yes, I had the MPP Comfort Adjustable kit fitted to my 2019 M3P just over three years ago and can certainly recommend it. The handling and ride are transformed.

    Tesla Alternative?

    Crashy ride can be fixed by having MPP coilovers and springs fitted. They even do a fully adjustable kit to cater for all tastes. The kit improves both the ride and body control. the crash ride is mainly due to the car hitting the bump stops which the MPP kit eliminates.

    In App message Action: missing billing details - Cock up or Scam?

    I've just had the same message. My credit card details are correct and expiry date is 4 years from now. I last used a supercharger on Tuesday and the payment has gone through.

    If the rise in insurance is because of repair costs why isn’t third party cheap too?

    I have a 2019 M3P and have been insured with LV for the last 4 years. The latest quote to renew was an increase of ~80% over last year to £850 (15k miles/y, full protected NCB, 63 y old) despite moving from South Oxfordshire to rural Norfolk and overnight storage in a garage. After shopping...

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

    I always check the Zapping is set on Fast before plugging in. However, I've just checked my Tesla App and it was set to 16A, so I've reset it to 32A. I'll see what happens tonight, but I'm pretty sure the Tesla/App is usually set to 16A and then automatically goes to 32A when the car starts...

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

    I've been using IO without any issues since my Zappi was fitted at our new house a couple of months ago, until the last couple of days when it has only given about half the KWh requested. On both occasions I had plugged in and got a charge schedule to take the M3P from ~40% to 85% but only...

    Have you tried a few comparison sites. For me Confused.com was much cheaper than the Meerkats

    LV insurance hike - quick sense check

    Just had my renewal from LV for my 2019 M3P. It went up from £527 last year to £864, which is a 64% increase despite moving to a more rural area. I have full no claims and am 63 years old. After ringing LV to reduce the annual mileage from 15k to 10k, the price was reduced to £740 and then a...

    Front end knocking sound Model Y performance

    This sounds very similar to the noise on my 2019 M3P. It has been there from new. I‘ve had the MPP Comfort Adjustable coil over kit fitted, which replaces the dampers and springs. This made no difference to the knocking. Center Gravity fitted the kit and did the alignment. They are a specialist...

    Snow with the Model Y RWD

    One of the reasons I chose to fit winter tyres and wheels to my M3P, even though we rarely get snow in southern England, is that according to Michelin the summer tyres I use (Michelin PS4S) may be structurally damaged if put under load, i.e. driven, in temperatures of -7 C or less. Where I live...

    Tyre pressures recommendation on screen

    I have a 2019 M3P and I have always run it with the tyre pressures set to 42 psi when cold as per the manual. However, the other day I noticed that the tyre pressure screen under Services is recommending 39 psi front and 40 psi rear. The message is in tiny print and may have been present for...
