Didn't Elon mention something about the wiper code learning from inputs in a future update. Pushing the stalk button for a single wipe when in auto causes the sensitivity to increase. Maybe that made it into this update. It also wouldn't be hard to add more functionality to that button, double...

You need to be on an Octopus import tariff to get Outgoing. I think it can now be any tariff except Go but you cant be with another supplier for import. Also if your fit was set up in the last 12 months you cant move to Outgoing. It's best to email in or call and try to talk to someone...

If you want Octopus Outgoing you have to be on Agile. The outgoing rate can be fixed or variable, but incoming needs to be Agile. Go is a no-go, I tried. You need to run the numbers but I'd be surprised is the octopus rate (about 5.5p) is better than your current fit payments. I am actually...

You can make best use of Agile and overnight charging in a few ways. Octopus list the overnight prices day ahead on their website so you can look at those and figure out the cheapest time to charge. You can also use their api to automate that calculation if you are that way inclined. There is...

Agile works out cheaper for me than bulb right now and that's not including the export from my solar which will be significant come summertime.

I think if did take a couple if weeks to come through.

Tonight, my electricity provider will be paying me to fully charge my car. I'm on the Octopus Agile tariff and due to all the wind and low demand, plunge pricing is in effect from 1am Sunday. It's only 1p/kWh I'll be getting but it's made my day. It won't happen very often, maybe 3 or 4 times a...

Answer from service center... Remote diagnosis for your Tesla is now complete. Our Technicians have found that the issue you are experiencing is caused by the UI incorrectly interpreting the available current that can be supplied by the TWC. This is a known issue and a Firmware fix is currently...

I switched to Octopus and got a smart meter within weeks. They may have prioritised me for wanting to be on the GO tariff. I have since switched to the Agile tariff. I downloaded all the Agile data from their excellent API and matched it to my Solaredge usage data, they also have an excellent...

If your highest priority requirement is a charger that can divert excess solar then it will limit your choices though there are options. Another option that might work for you is to sell excess solar out to the grid and then buy it back at the same rate overnight. Octopus Energy's Outgoing...

Booked car in for a service to get this resolved. Received this txt today from Tesla. "Our technicians have found that your car will only charge at 16A as standard as this is the way it has been designed. Thank you, Tesla Service" I politely requested they recheck this statement.... (WTF!)...

I have not tried this, will give it a go when I get home.

I've just switched to Octopus Go tariff so I get cheap rate from 00:30 When I select scheduled charge, the charge rate limits to 16A and can't be increased. I am therefore unable to get a full charge overnight. I have no trouble charging at 32A when not scheduling the charge. I'm using a...

I have exactly this. I need to open the rear door and only then will the wall connector button open the charge port.

Just spotted a lush looking white 3... on my drive..... still can't believe it. It's been plugged in and charging nearly all day off the solar panels, added over 100 miles. If you are thinking of getting one, do it, it's the muts nutz....
