Hi @offandonagain, I've just started using the app and tried the dynamic rate plan for Octopus Agile. I don't know how you prefer feedback but I raise a GitHub issue: Dynamic rate plan: allow no export tariff · Issue #10 · netzero-labs/netzero We have a legacy solar export contract called a...

Thanks @Mark_T, I’ll give that a go. I have a similar setup with Zappi, Octopus etc. I haven’t tried the Tesla Custom Integration yet. I didn’t know Powerwall was not subject to Fleet API.

Hi @Mark_T, can you share which Home Assistant Tesla integration you are using, and perhaps the automation rules? I was just reading this, and it’s getting rather involved now the older API has been deprecated. https://github.com/alandtse/tesla?tab=readme-ov-file#tesla-fleet-api-proxy

Robotaxi and a cheaper Model 2, would seem to be orthogonal products. Surely they have the engineering capacity to do both? They’ll need cheaper vehicles - or serious price cuts on the current line-up - to counter new vehicles from other manufacturers and to increase the TAM

It will be interesting to see if Robotaxi comes with a different sensor architecture. LIDAR seems unthinkable for Elon, but I expect more cameras and in different locations to ensure full visibility with zero blind spots. And a new Autopilot computer is almost certain, for more compute...

I haven’t watched many FSD beta videos. Does it seem like it performs better on USA highways, than the phantom braking that is often seen on UK motorways? I’ve pretty much given up on seeing FSD in the UK, but I DID expect (hope?) autopilot to get better in the UK as a side effect. It feels...

As I understand it, I would have to give up the deemed part of my FIT payments to benefit from export during saving sessions, right? We made about £35 from the Octopus savings sessions, by er, just saving energy 😄

Adjustable intermittent wipers are pretty common; my previous car had them and I could usually get the speed just right

Don’t we have a contract setting out the terms and duration of FIT and deemed payments? (I do appreciate governments can basically do what they want 🙄)

Super. Thanks for all the information and thought provoking ideas everyone.

One more question 😁, has anyone measured or calculated the degradation of their Powerwall battery? I see the warranty guarantees 80% capacity at 10 years, depending on mode of operation and energy throughput

I take your point that cheaper alternatives are available. However I don’t know if the differential is quite that big… I’m seeing 15kWh Fogstar for £3000, 30kWh for £6000, with an inverter and installation to add on. (And I don’t know much about other inverters!) Powerwalls can be installed...

Thanks, that is certainly an interesting option! We’re getting between 3500-3800kWh per year; relatively old panels and some shading, so maybe £540 at 15p/kWh export. We’ll be getting a little over 7p/kWh deemed this year, I think. So in the region of £125. If we didn’t self-consume any...

I agree. 2024.2.8 was horrible for auto wipers today, in a variety of rain conditions. I spent most of the time having to toggle between continuous and auto. I sure hope this isn’t the improved wipers that was mentioned on X… I also had a bad lane change abort for seemingly no reason. Sigh.
