    I challenged the dragon (Wales).. and I lost!

    I'll have these with me to cover all bases, but where we're staying doesn't have parking anywhere near it! It does look as though there are some 7kW chargers around if its looking tight; but according to ABRP I can make it, and I'd changed the settings to be quite cautious too. (Extra weight...

    I challenged the dragon (Wales).. and I lost!

    I saw your post about the Tre’r-ddol (Polar) charger on Zap-Map. I have a trip coming up with the family at the end of this week, that charger played a big part in my plan. I joined Polar Plus on a trial specifically - and when tested my card on our nearest one which had the same behaviour -...

    Octopus ‘Go’ getting paid to use Electricity

    So the Agile prices are in, close but no negative pricing. Still cheap though. Told my Ohme not to charge above 1.5p/kWh. I switched from Go to Agile about 2 weeks ago, and I'd say we're paying between 1/3 - 1/2 on electricity than we were in the weeks proceeding that.. No day has come in...

    UK Model 3 and Dog Owners

    We've got a GSP, so quite a large dog, he seems fine in the Model 3. Make sure you plug in all seatbelts though, the seatbelt alarm will drive you mad! Rear seat covers and a seatbelt clip for his harness. Only used dog mode once whilst we quickly popped to the shops - that's a pretty good...

    Car not waking up via app

    I see this about once a week where the car won't wake, either by API (teslafi) or the app. (Since I've had the car) I used to go out and try a door handle which would wake the car up... Then I discovered that if the phone key is connected, which it usually is in the house, you can tap the...

    Ohme Intelligent Wall Charger + Model 3

    I have the commando version (the brainbox is the same) It works fine most of the time, I've told it I'm on the Octopus Go tariff, so it'll mostly charge 00.30 until 04.30 Occasionally the car won't wake up (even from the App) then it doesn't charge..

    Just spotted this opensource API scraper

    I'd say 95% of the time my Ohme does successfully wake the car and start charging. (Now the Ohme is an unusual cable, and it may well be starting the charge through the Tesla API??) There have been a few occasions where I've found the car is in a sort of super deep sleep, where charging doesnt...

    UK charging

    The chargers at the NEC will only give 16A (3.5 - 4kW) which in my LR AWD equates to about 14mi/hr. Booking the Express parking as you have done will guarantee you a spot at the chargers, down in the bottom right hand corner... There are some others in the regular car parks, but often those car...

    Teslafi or Stats app?

    Also, think about the charging structure. A one off payment might seem like a good deal, and to the developer a good little earner, but is it sustainable, will it scale? I'm amazed by the data that teslafi stores, collecting info every minute, generating aggregate stats ontop of this, lifetime...

    How to force updates

    I don't know but I was just watching a YouTube video on 2019.36.2.1 when suddenly a push notification came through saying it was available... Worth a try?!

    Home charging dropping to 16A

    Yes, the graph displays per minute the amperage and voltage so you'd be able to pin point the timing.

    Home charging dropping to 16A

    How heavy duty is the wiring? Is any of it getting too hot after a period of time maybe? Average voltage home charging at 32A is 233.22V - Teslafi is really good showing this, as well as drawing graphs of the charge over time (Volts and Amps) At work we I've used Centrica 7kW charging points...

    Here's how to charge with 32A commando in UK

    I've been watching the forums for a while, and this thread keeps popping up. Ohme-Ev have an option for a 32A commando, I got one for £199 through Octopus, I'm in the process of switching to their Go tariff. The Ohme cable is dubbed as "Smart" since it can download Octopus' Agile tariffs, if...
