    PowerWall Grid Charge limit

    One option that you have is to set the times for peak and off-peak electricity. So if you know your EVs will be done charging by 3am you could set that as the start of off-peak electricity so the PW doesn't start charging till then. I've also noticed that when the PW is in the mode when it...

    App Config Option

    I'm in the UK and have cheap electricity overnight. until about 3 weeks ago I was running Advanced - Cost Saving to fill the battery with cheap electricity to be used during the day. However, the algorithm has failed me recently by only filling up based on what appears to be the last few days...

    Beware SMETS2 meters

    This is interesting. I've just had SMETS2 meters installed 2 weeks ago as part of the bulb rollout. I've had my Powerwall2 since November. I noticed on the "old" meter (dual-rate) that I accumulated small usage of normal rate grid power even though I was powered throughout by the Powerwall...

    Tesla: we need more control over our PowerWalls

    Thanks for your confirmation. I've since written a small utility that runs on my Raspberry Pi that allows me to set the backup percentage automatically during off-peak electricity period so that I can essentially set a minimum charge level when off-peak period ends. I implemented that...

    Tesla: we need more control over our PowerWalls

    I'm trying to work out exactly what is going on with the way my PW2 is charging from Off-Peak overnight. I've got it set in TBC cost-saving mode. Originally (over the winter) it would charge to 100% and then start discharging at the start of the expensive rate. With the increase in solar...

    EVmote App

    I've just signed up and added my car. The trips I drove yesterday were captured properly and this looks like an interesting Web app. I've noticed a few things: 1. My range is shown in rated miles even though the car is set to typical - although I think the issue is the label, not the value...

    Supercharger time

    It would be interesting to know at what point you were at 80% charge (you should have got a Supercharging almost complete notification at that level) and 90%. Charging really slows down at that point and in most cases 80-90% would be enough to get you comfortably to the next Supercharger in Europe.

    Park Inn - PCN

    I got one for parking and charging on 30th December. I appealed on line with explanation of charging and also included image of my charge notifications which showed starting charge 2 minutes after entering and finishing 2 minutes before leaving. I was there for 1 hour 10 minutes total because...

    Anyone else having problems getting to the Tesla forums?

    Over the last couple of days, whenever I have tried to access the forums on the Tesla site, I've been redirected to the US home page.

    VisibleTesla

    Hi Joe, I also promised feedback - I tried to send you email but your server rejected my email. My message was as follows. I've just taken delivery of my car last Friday and have connected successfully using VisbleTesla. Unfortunately, I did not have the app running when I went on a trip so...

    Quality accessories from Abstract Ocean

    I ordered a couple of fobpockets yesterday morning. I got notification that they were shipped yesterday afternoon by US first calls post. Will see when they arrive. I thought $4.60 postage was pretty reasonable - I guess the amount was less than @smudger7's because of the size/weight.

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    There's now a Pioneer level which is the Model S equivalent of Viking. The Model S harness looks like it commands a $10 premium.

    Supercharger Locations UK

    I presume those are the same spaces used for the Ecotricity chargers? If so, where is the box? Or have they created additional supercharger spaces?

    This morning, my status had changed to "In Transit" after 2.5 week "In Production". I did get the email from my delivery specialist a couple of days ago and the prediction is currently w/c 22nd June.
