    2020 Shipping Movements

    Ah, I think I am confused, like I said easily done! You meant where RCC Asia is parking when it arrives in a couple of days didn’t you. Sorry!

    2020 Shipping Movements

    My ship finder app says RCC ASIA is in Antwerp? I saw this going past Fawley yesterday whilst at Royal Victoria Country Park so thought I'd take a look at the thread to see if it was Tesla related, but it's ASIAN TRUST according to ship finder. Am I or ship finder confused? The former is...

    I’d love to try one of those just for the fun of it. There used to be a place you could rent them for a few hours in the New Forest, but I don’t think it’s there any more.

    Was unloading the car at the house after a visit to Sainsbury’s this morning, when a passing Lexus SUV driver stopped just to say what a really nice car I had in the M3P. That’s all :)

    Voice Control & Echo Auto

    I use Hey Siri with the iPhone, which is sitting in the usual spot wireless charging, quite successfully for accessing Apple Music, podcasts and the like. Not quite CarPlay, but it works.

    He’s still going strong getting towards his late 80s, regularly working on and test riding the museum bikes. Saw him at Goodwood FoS last few years going up the hill as well. Always happy to have a chat if you see him around when visiting. Edinburgh is my home town!

    That was at Sammy Miller's Museum in the New Forest, he's got quite a few dotted about the place. If you are into classic bikes, or just bikes, or just an interesting stop for a cuppa and cake it is truly a wonderful place. Quite possibly one of my all time favourite places. Sammy Miller | Home

    National Geographic

    They didn’t show any of the glass fitting that I noticed. The only really interesting bit for me was an all too brief few minutes about the batteries inside the Gigafactory. It was all very light and fluffy, padded out with some EV history and the like.

    Trade in questions before new order

    Sign a document or two, hand over V5 and keys and that’s about it. There’s no inspection of the vehicle involved, at least not in my case. They weren’t that interested in it at all bar doing the necessary admin. I just gave it one last glance as I drove away in the M3P and that was that. The...

    Anyone bought/planning to buy Matts swivel screen mount?

    Doesn't surprise me if there's a few current given the lease scheme and advantages. I know quite a few folk at Swanwick who are now leasing. Scottish and Heathrow were my route to West Drayton and beyond, it's a small world :)

    New Winchester Service Centre

    Was idly looking at the Tesla.com map earlier and noticed this. I assume the location hasn't moved from the above Winchester site and it's just Tesla being Tesla? Didn't there used to be a 'coming soon' service centre in Southampton as well?

    West Bridgford, Nottingham Planning Application

    I've not visited Nottingham with the Model 3 yet but will be doing soon hopefully. When the SC is up and running can you use the superchargers at SCs for routine charging if not having anything actually done there? Would be more convenient to use than hunting around for other charging options...

    EV.Energy App

    Having recently moved on to Go I’ve tried using the EV app to control charging during the overnight period. Each time I’ve set it up, double and triple checking settings, putting in a price limit etc, it’s started charging straight away instead of waiting till 0030hrs. Have given up on it for...

    Octopus smart meter installation

    Just tried restarting the IHD a couple of times, it’s come back with the old tariff both times. Will keep an eye on both meter readings in account and IHD, and drop them an email and see what they say.

    Interestingly, or perhaps not, the IHD doesn’t show the Go tariff. It shows the one I was on before switching, so all the budget information it purports to give will be inaccurate.

    Octopus smart meter installation

    Is a lag on seeing the thirty minute readings in your account normal? Fitted on Tuesday, readings for Wednesday and Thursday showing, but nothing since. Or is that an indication of an issue already? All the lights on the meter are flashing green as they should. p.s. re my post a couple above...

    Octopus smart meter installation

    On checking account this morning it says I’m now on Octopus Go June 2018, but the unit rate makes no mention of the 5p four hour rate overnight. Would have thought it should have and have emailed Octopus for clarification. Just wondering if this is what others on Go see or whether something else...

    Thank you both. If using the ev.energy app, do you sign in to your Tesla account within it, which I think is an option?

    Managing Scheduled Charging

    With switching on to the Octopus Go tariff tonight, I'd welcome any advice or suggestions on how to best manage the overnight period scheduled charging. There's the scheduled charging option within the Model 3 itself, and I think I can also schedule charging via TeslaFi and/or via the ev.energy...

    Honda e would you?

    I like it, though have no need for one so wouldn’t be buying. The inside/dash gives me a sort of retro futuristic Gerry Anderson vibe.

    Octopus smart meter installation

    The engineer that fitted mine on Tuesday said he’d only started back on Monday, so only his second day working since lockdown began back at the end of March. I was also the only appointment he had on the day, which understandably looks like a fairly cautious approach to getting installations...

    Octopus smart meter fitted this morning. Minor hiccup with the job sheet IT delayed the start of work by 45 minutes or so, but once that was solved the actual installation and commissioning seemed to go quite smoothly.
