    [Australia] Electricity Bills

    If you charge a similar amount each night, the PW will learn to take that load into account when working out it’s target charge level each evening. But it may get thrown around a bit if the charge amount vary a lot each night. Suck it and see.. there are a few modes to choose from.

    [Australia] Electricity Bills

    PS: We do dump a lot of power to the grid on sunny days, and as I get train to work, I plan to control the HPWC to charge the car from excess solar during the day, once the house battery is charged. Instead of only relying on off-peak or stored power. Charging the car directly from excess solar...

    The PW2 learns the patterns of use and sun, so if you have a run of sunny days it will adapt and not charge very much or at all overnight. If like this week, it learns not to rely upon the sun and will charge during off-peak to cover the shoulder or peak times when the power is more expensive...

    Why not call it the ... Beetroot? ... hold on that’s not a fruit. o_O Wait is obviously sending me crazy. Waiting for the real unicorn which seems to be the LR AWD. Only 3 in AU, all waiting for VIN, all white according to spreadsheet. Obviously a smart choice.

    Tesla Delivery Payment - Credit Card

    Do you mean that the surcharge is only for Amex, or did you only ask about Amex? I.e. do you know if there is a surcharge for MasterCard?

    Not sure if it was made clear in previous posts, but is BPay an option to pay with, or only a TT or other direct transfer?
