A 10kW electric shower will cost you £973.33 to run per year taking 4 x 10-minute showers a day: (10/60) × 10 × .40 × 4 × 365 But... we're meant to be forsaking fossil fuels. A better solution would be an immersion hot-water cylinder that you run between 11:30 pm and 5:30 am (the cheap and...

Goodness, a programmable thermostat would pay for itself in literal weeks.

(.40 − .075) × 5kWh peak usage × 365 = £593.13 per year I've no idea how much a 5kWh battery would cost, but my average consumption seems to be around 10kWh per day.

That’s pretty high. Worth checking out. I’m in a 5 bedroom 3 storey house and I’m in IT so have a Synology NAS, Unifi wifi access points and network switches, a couple of Intel NUCs running VMs, 5 or 6 Sonos speakers plus fridge etc, and my baseline is 200W. So 400-500W for someone not running...

I have great visibility, so yes.

When I received my M3 (Nov 2019) if I had invested £5,800 in TSLA, it would've been worth £105,000 in Nov 2021. I'd be happy without any dividends.

It's out of stock on the US store as well, so it looks like the factory ran out.

Mine has been working fine on Postgres 12, so I assume 13 is fine. I guess at some point there won't be updates for the older versions?

I own a M3 but have had MS loaners a couple of times. The MS feels like a plush luxury car compared to the M3. Whereas the M3 has a short bonnet and incredible visibility, the MS feels like you're sunk really low and surrounded by "stuff" (pillars, dashboards, screens) and peering through a...

These are the instructions I followed to upgrade Postgres 12 to 14. Be very careful that you understand each step because the process is: create a backup / destroy the old Postgres / install a blank new Postgres / restore the backup. My TeslaMate runs in a VM so I was able to take a snapshot...

Thanks for link! Have updated to Postgres 14, and also Mosquitto 2 (rather than 1.6). Also did a docker system prune and got 6.8GB back!

I have to back into my driveway to plug in, but I live on a busy road which makes the reversing part difficult when I have cars behind me as I approach my driveway. So I only do it when I need a charge (which isn't that often because I don't drive that much).

I think you need to clean everything up and start fresh. You are running two instances of Grafana and two of TeslaMate. And you are running Postgres 14 which may not be compatible with TeslaMate (I'm running version 12). You are also using the /volume1/@docker directory which isn't correct. You...

They ran docker-compose ps rather than docker ps -- I assume docker-compose only shows the things that are under its control. So somehow they've managed to get two extra containers running, which will cause all sorts of problems.

You have too many containers running. There should be 4 (ignore my teslamateagile, that's a separate project): CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 204f95795b5d postgres:12...
