    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    Hi all, having been with octopus go for the last couple of years I’m looking at switching to intelligent, especially now my model y is listed and it appears to work with our podpoint. The only fly in the ointment is my wife still wants to charge her xc40 hybrid some nights, which I believe won’t...

    Peak Time Alps Road Trip - Charger queues?

    there are definite cost savings - fuel costs far outweigh the electric costs, but still can’t avoid paying the road tolls, about £70 each way roughly. we didn’t have a roof box on as only one child so 2 snowboards went down the drivers side of the car. At least in Easter the temps won’t be so...

    Peak Time Alps Road Trip - Charger queues?

    We went to avoriaz at half term back in feb in our model 3 sr, We allowed a couple of days to get there which didn’t cause any issues with time or charging but different story on the way back. We left avoriaz at 9am on the Saturday (v busy day) with a Eurotunnel booked at 10pm, the traffic was...

    Spotify weirdness since the 44.10.1 update

    yep, same for me, tried to start a playlist and kept defaulting to some random song ignoring my commands. a different play list worked fine. apart from that it is much better, the curated playlists appear and finally podcasts are showing!

    Tax refund on lease / Hogarth flyover

    ha, i wouldnt dare try it, though you would end up grounded quite near to the tesla showroom for an instant replacement. I don't think there's an autopilot in existence that could cope with hammersmith broadway!

    Tax refund on lease / Hogarth flyover

    I had an invoice last week from Leaseplan, thought it might be a speeding fine or something, but turns out it was a £384 credit note for 12 months road tax. I wasn't expecting it but sure enough it came into my bank account today. When i originally took the lease 12 months ago the 2nd year...

    Anyone else pondering Model 3 to Y when it lands in UK?

    That’s good to know leaseplan will let you informally extend. My plan is to keep the m3 for the 2 year lease and then pcp a model y, lease is up Oct 21, but I can’t see the m y being available by then so I’m glad there’s an option to keep the m3 until it is ready. I’d also opt for a LR model...

    Public Charging Regulation Authority

    We are currently ‘staycationing’ in the Peak District where public chargers to put it politely are at a premium. This morning we attempted to charge on a 7kw charger in Bakewell. There are 4 charging posts with 2 per post. Bearing in mind it’s a busy tourist car park only 1 post is accessible...

    Foldable ebike for Model 3

    Hi, I can vouch for this bike having had it for over 2 years. Quality and reliability has been great and it’s not overly expensive compared to a Brompton for eg. I use it to cycle the last part of my journey to work and it def fits in my model 3 boot without having to put back seats down and...

    Tesla remote and Siri

    Evening. Siri works for me using Tesla Remote. you have to set it up via the Siri Shortcuts app. It doesn’t work through the Apple Watch but works fine through the phone. I use it for commands like ‘open charge port’, ‘open bonnet’ etc. It’s quicker than unlocking the phone and opening the...
