The wake to charge bug was fixed in the last firmware update.

I've quoted that very article in many a rebuttal on social media and have been shot down that the National Grids project manager (also a Tesla owner BTW and a member of TOUK) is wrong. Its hard to argue with people who believe that they know better than the people that run our energy...

Nope. Certainly has fixed the 16A bug as when scheduled charging is set when you first plug in you can see the display quickly ramp up the volts and amps available from the charger which is clearly a reference check as to what power is available when the charge starts in the future, I believe...

Hi Durzel, The Model 3 uses a non standard protocol for charging (even different to the Model S and X) so when it goes into sleep mode an EVSE cannot "wake" the car to charge. If the Anderson (lovely bit of kit by the way) suffers the same issues as the Zappi then you will have to consider the...

Thanks for those who replied. I've changed the Zappi to fast and used the cars scheduling which seems to have worked last night. My Model 3 P seems to charge at 10.18% per hour so some simple maths allows me to adjust the charge limit to match whatever period I'm aiming for during the cheaper...

Thanks I think I'll try fast and guestimate the charge end time by dropping the charge %

Thanks Andy - can I confirm this is with a Model 3? So to check as an example; Zappi set to fast Zappi timed boost 0:14 for four hours Car schedule charge 0:15 Would work?

I'd like to add to this thread if anyone can offer any help? I have a Zappi 2 charger running the 2143 firmware trying to charge my Model 3 00:30 - 4:30 I cannot get the charger to wake the car for the Octopus Go period since the firmware updated. Previously the car had a charge scheduled for...

Just tether to your phone using its hotspot to give yourself a UK IP address. This will also allow you to use iPlayer and other compatible geofenced webplayers compatible with Tesla's browser.

UK reservation holder here. The page with my estimated delivery date has now changed to early 2019...

In the U.K. any grid-tied microgeneration has to shut down in case of grid failure. This is to ensure the safety of workers that may be working on your local distribution network apparently.

Phone call was regarding Powerwall 2 site survey. Nothing to do with model 3.

Any other UK reservation holders keep getting missed calls from Tesla UK on 01628 450606? They don't leave a message and you can't call them back. Are they ringing for anything exciting or just to try and sell me a CPO? Thanks.

Same here in the UK. Not a Tesla owner currently and reserved 20.4.16 and the boxes have disappeared to be replaced with "early 2019."

To be fair I think there is common ground inbetween the two. Paying £300 a year to drive an EV seems excessive but saying when you have £40k to drop on a car to pay nothing also seems slightly obsurd. My solution would be to scrap the luxury car tax on EVs but charge the minimum rate on the...
