Hi there, I find these shortcuts very useful and have been looking to update mine. The latest ones posted above - these still seem to use the old prices or am I missing something? The shortcuts when I download use 22-11-25 in the api call, where I thought the new prices should use 23-12-06...

Thanks for the replies. First time since posting I’ve been on the forums so a bit of an update. I inspected the car when the Wife got home on Friday and sure enough there is an impact point further down so looks like a stone chip has caused it initially (not sure when this happened but must...

I've had my M3P just under a year and this is the first real issue I've had. So basically, we've had cold temperatures and snow here in the North East the last few days. I've always used the defrost mode on the app the de-ice the car before using the car without issue. Did the same again this...

I had a similar choice to make recently - and Octopus clearly want more people on IO as it just looks/is the more attractive proposition now than Go. For me it was 4hrs @ 9.5p per kw vs 6hrs @ 7.5p per kw - which made it a bit of a no brainer. Plus, 6hrs is the minimum but you may get more...

So charged up fine last night...full power (32A). So the issue the other night wasn't IO at all. Interestingly, IO gave me a really long schedule last night - from 10.30pm - 08.00am - way more than enough - car was charged by about 4am I think. Perhaps taking into account a slower/16A charge...

I think you might be right on the money with this. I didn’t see it at the time, but I’ve just checked my phone and sure enough…there’s a notification from yesterday saying charge cable not fully secured. I’ve seen this notification before and checked the plug was properly in, but didn’t see the...

Morning…I’ve been on IO for a few weeks now and have encountered my first issue. I’ve done a quick search on this thread and saw a few similar issues but couldn’t find an answer. Anyway, I plugged in last night and got a schedule through as normal. Then I changed the settings a bit - increased...

I’ve put the charge limit in the car to 100%, so I can just set the actual limit in Octopus to what I need. Usually charge to 90% as the car advises. Then just leave it to IO. The only other thing I do is manually stop the initial charge via the Tesla app after plugging in A few people have...

Two overnight charges done on IO now. Absolutely no issues so far, and find the extra slots can be very handy too. Happy days :) As ever, threads like this are so useful and full of info 👍

Yeah I don’t mind it either. Anyway got a schedule after about 15mins so ‘so far, so good’

Hmmm. Fair point. I may remove the schedule then for my 1st IO charge tonight and just stop any initial charging via the Tesla app. I’m interested to see how this all works lol

Oh, I forgot to mention I've set the Tesla app to charge at 23:30 to avoid any initial peak rate charging when plugging (seems to be a tip that's worked well for others)

I've just made the switch to IO from Go, as my fixed term on Go expires next month. Seems IO off-peak rate in my area is equal to my current Go rate (7.5p) but cheaper than the new Go rate (9.5p) so thought I'd may as well make the switch now. Test charge done and everything seems to be set...

I was set on a Tesla but when I looked into them, they seemed to be missing a few features and needed additional installation to make safe. Not sure if that’s still the case. My installer recommended a Wallbox and I went with that. It’s been really good. Have a look into them. I got a Pulsar...

I have similar to you I've noticed @Chimpy McChimp but not quite to the extent in your pics. It's like an ingrained grime/grubiness and I'm meticulous about my white interior - wipe it down with baby wipes regularly but have noticed this. Might try some of that Brisk stuff...
