    Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

    I guess people have different experiences. Mine has been amazing. I have done 1000 miles in the last week of ownership. Phone integration works perfectly (iPhone 13 pro), wireless charge pads have been top quality. Zero issues with the car on delivery. AP reading everything correctly. My only...

    I still don't have 28.1, let alone 28.2. I wonder how long it will take to roll out fully.

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    If it helps, apps like Tessie allow you to create custom auto charging schedules. As an example, on Tessie, hit Automation, Create Automation, and create 00:30 to 04:30 Monday to Sun with a geo-location at home so it only activates when at home. This will set your car to only accept charge...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    So if IO fully charged the car by at say 02:00 and its schedule ends at that time, will the car take power after 02:00 if for whatever reason it wants it. I thought IO stops the car receiving power outside of its schedules.

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    My aim is to let IO charge the car outside of the 23:30-05:30 period. But also to allow the car take power from the grid in the 23:30-05:30 should it want to, for example, if it’s fully charged at 02:00, want it to precondition for 05:30 depart using the power from the grid rather than the battery.

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Does anyone know is Tessie automation charging schedule will block IO smart charging and visa versa. I want Tessie to force the car to accept charge between 23:30-05:30 and also let IO charge outside the hours. I have noticed IO blocks the car accepting a charge in the 23:30-05:30 range, which...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Thank you. Would best practice be to set off peak charging in the car for 23:30-05:30. Then IO will override charging outside of them hours? Could you kindly share how you set it, as looking at teslas scheduling, it’s not simple and clunky. There is nowhere to set start and end time.

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I have just moved over to IO and I have a question for you intelligent folk. During the 6 hours overnight, if the car hits its targeted charge rate at say 3am, will the car still accept charge up to the 5:30am cut off (still holding its target charge). Or will smart charging stop the charging...

    Could mean, at a higher rate than the new 36p fixed rate maybe. We will soon see anyway.

    Still ‘fixed’ term tariff. Time will tell haha.
  14. Darreno

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    You would be one of very very few in the UK in that position. I wouldn’t put it past a blanket discount, a small few people will have extreme low rates, but it will be easier managed.
  15. Darreno

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    Point 15 has been updated. It is looking like ‘all’ fixed tariffs will get the discount which suggests all go, go faster and IO will be reduced to below the price cap. That’s astonishing.
  16. Darreno

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    IO is a fixed tariff. If fixed are reduced, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be.

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    My posts are about the support coming and people currently on fixed deals, I have nothing to add on speculating Octopus fixed tariffs after Oct. Ultimately we have no idea how fixed tariffs will look after Oct. It would be nice to hold rates where it is so people with expiring rates can keep...

    New Energy Price Guarantee

    Unit costs are to come in the following days. It seems to work out around 35p pkwh.

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    I would anticipate the fixed Go tariff peak will be a lot more expensive than 40p after October. It seems the current support package is for people currently in fixed deals and the variable rate.

  23. Darreno

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    To add to this news, if true, Go's peak rate maybe even less than 28p, we maybe looking at 25p when the reductions come in. Its not 30% reduction, its the same rate per pound reduction.
  24. Darreno

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    The announced price freeze today is at about 35p until 2024. The variable will not go above 35p until 2024. April prediction will not apply to households. To note, Go is a fixed. The 40/7.5 or 8.25 is fixed for 12 months. Also to add, NOW THIS IS WILD! According to Martin Lewis below, anyone...
  25. Darreno

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    With the new price cap announced (£2,500) at around 35-36p per kwh, Go, Go Faster and IO are still by some way the best tariffs to be on. Below excludes load shifting appliances to off peak so the saving will be great on the fixed tariffs. And its based on 8.25p for 5 hours. IO would be even...

    I wouldn't waste your energy. He consistently dunks on the MY for attention. 100% a troll who may have buyers remorse and wants others to feel the same about their purchase.

    Do you know your leccy annual usage for the house? If so, post here. I also assume your Eon rate is the variable? around 29p? And how many miles you expect to drive pa.

    Personally I would lock the Go price in now just in case it does go up. Then exit free if it ends up not good for you after the support announcement. Nothing to lose, all to gain.

    According to reports, yes. Not as firm. We know Berlin has different suspension, it maybe the case that Shanghai is the same, or closer. We will find out in the next week or two if its true, and if its made a difference.

    They always say it cant be the day before due to the complex logistics. It can take up to 3-4 weeks to deliver a car after unloading from the ship. Its a good 450-500 lorry loads per ship to move around the country. My delivery is on the 13th Sep even though the car is currently at Southampton...

    You’re correct, Q2 MYs had PPF on the rear door around the front of the wheel arch as you said above. I collected a MY with a friend in June from Staines and it was there.

    Vin 411 is 20th July build, a day or 2 after reopening the production line. Any earlier VIN is likely pre shut down prior to the rumoured change with suspension.

    Interestingly, it was July builds following the production line shut down that apparently have the change in suspension. Do you know when yours was built? This link should help. Afaik Glovis Companion is the first ship with post shut down cars. https://tesla-info.com/tesla-build-date.php

    I moved over and I dont have mine yet. Just say you have it on order. If you're just signing up, they will put you on their flexi. After being on that a few days give them a call and say you have an EV due and you want to switch over. You might end up with someone who will just do it.
