Second that - and with the benefit of free charging at work why spend any more?

You can but it uses energy to pre-heat. Doesn't help with the reduced efficiency in colder weather compared to a 'conventional' battery.

Or fart.

On your first point, and to be fair to Octopus, it was within the Tesla app that I was offered the choices on access. Part of the Octopus process prompts you to sign into the Tesla App. Again, thanks for the help.

Brill - thanks v much @browellm I did try via the Octopus website as well as their app, but didn't know the Tesla online account had the necessary 'back door'. Wonder if Octopus will ever find out? Cheers

I made the mistake of 'simply' deleting my car with a view to re-connecting it as Octopus asked. Disaster. TL/ DR - Tick both boxes. As ever, it turns out more complicated than you might think, at least for me it is. On the re-sign up process, a (Tesla) screen pops up asking you to tick either...

That's it. Blue dot indicates something has changed in the feature it points to. Open that menu and the changed item should also have a blue dot. Disappears after you have responded to the change.

Wasn't the reduced top speed (125mph?) part of the reason for the tyre change with the Highland? Seem to recall Musk saying that as no one regularly drives at 140 mph* reducing the top speed could reduce tyre cost as lower speed rating applies? *(Tough luck Fritz!)

In London, seriously? Head to an underground car park somewhere.

If and when the Roadster deliveries do start, I wonder if Tesla will find a way to weasel out of the promised 'free' cars for the big hitters on the old referral scheme?

The Munro Live videos on YouTube are interesting on the Mach E. Particularly when they compare the thermal system with that of a Model Y - explains why there is no room for much storage space under the bonnet. More or less filled with rubber hoses. See here.

I've not seen the new red 'in real life' but it sounds stunning by all accounts. I bought red partly because it was the least common colour, no surprise of course given the cost, but also because I really like it. The tone seems to change depending upon the light source, artificial light makes...
