    Intelligent Octopus, charging, location and automation

    I tried to correct Google maps to position our pin actually on our house but I keep getting server error - try later from Google. Has anyone succeeded? Even though. the pin is a couple of hundred metres off Octopus seems to have no trouble setting up a schedule and keeping to it. Thanks

    Update installed, linked to Audible. Was the auto boot opener supposed to be in this release?

    Cambridge to Manchester and return

    And for the Apple Watch there is no faceID as it does not have a camera. Just double tap on the side button and hold to contactless receiver.

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Sorry, I go to Woodall quite often I could have sworn that I have to drive through a no entry sign that says except Tesla. I admit that photo does not look like Woodall as Woodall is not a cul-de-sac. Anyway, the recently opened Annesley means I can probably avoid Woodall on the way back south.

    Is this is what you are referring to?

    I hope that I will still be able to clamber over the 60cm curb to cut through the lorries to go to the bathroom in the petrol station and use the lavatory with no locks on the door whilst charging at 60KW

    I think that there is an expected delay after the meter is connected

    Battery Preheat - Down side

    I had exactly the same situation. Normally if I leave home with 90% I can get up to Ferrybridge with 12%. So I charged to 97% and the expected percentage at ferry bridge started off at 19%. As we went up the temperature outside dropped to below freezing and the anticipated arrival percentage...

    Windscreen replacement cost!

    Tesla Heathrow replaced my cracked MYP 2023 windscreen last week for just over £1000. They did not drive the car and said that they reused the sensors from the old one.

    Rear seat cover for Labradors.

    It is obvious when you have done it but it is not a usual way of fitting something. The folded plastic must slide down right next to the glass, not just the flat bit but if you keep pushing the folded plastic goes into the gap next to the glass and acts as a spring to hold it in position. Once...

    Tesla home charger

    Interestingly I am having the same issue although my max charging is 32A. Furthermore, for sessions controlled by Octopus they always seem to schedule the charge at 16A and when the session has been calculated in the afternoon I can see the charge rate change on the Tesla app. If I just ask the...

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    ACarneiro said: From a comfort perspective that makes sense. From a thermodynamic perspective, heat loss is an exponential process so keeping the house warm all the time just means you lose more heat all the time. Are you sure about this? I always thought that Newton's Law of Cooling states...

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

    My experience of IO is the opposite in that Octopus itself reduces my charging current. I have it set to 32A in the Tesla Wall Connector but it always schedules 16A. I just let it do its thing. On New Year’s Eve it scheduled my charge to finish at 0730 the following morning, so it certainly...

    Rear seat cover for Labradors.

    I have the Tesla rear seat cover, but for two beagles not labradors. I too thin k the door protection is invaluable. I also really appreciate how the cover and both door pieces all roll up into the included sleeve. With my Orris dog covers there is something the size of a duvet to have hanging...
