    Messed around by Octopus for 3 years - advice welcome

    I signed up with Octopus Go in September 2019, and 20+ attempts later, via email, phone and the online booking form, have still not had a smart meter installed. Due to the extremely disappointing customer service, Octopus agreed in Nov 2020 to refund me the difference between Octopus Go 5p KwH...

    Elon and influence on crypto currency markets

    Moderator comment - thread renamed from "Why is Elon such a kn*b?" He's been manipulating the crypto markets for weeks, and pocketing huge sums from doge crypto currency. And now that his influence on doge buyers has waned he has perfectly timed a tweet to negatively impact Bitcoin price. He...

    I miss having a dealer network.

    I raised a service issue over 2 weeks ago after my rear window/mirror defrosters stopped working. Any other marque and I would have been in to a garage for a diagnosis (and probably new fuse), within a few days tops. I would have also been able to phone and speak to someone. The compromises...

    Thanks Iceland

    Iceland driver smashed into my door today, whilst I was unbuckling my 3 year old. Was a long stretch of road with clear visibility and room to pass, he just wasn't paying attention. He's claiming I opened the door into his van, not quite sure how I would have done that. And my doorbell shows I...

    Monkeys

    Has anyone got any experience with monkey enclosures, such as longleat? Thinking of visiting and we know our 3 year old would love seeing the little chaps. To my mind there's not a lot on a Tesla they could get hold of. But I'm not a monkey, so I could be wrong.

    Great first SC experience

    I was pretty worried about Tesla after care, since getting my 3. I've had the car for a month now and had a few "minor" issues: -loud wind whistling noise between 30 and 70mph. -rear passenger window would pop up before door closed (has fixed itself but the glass scratched the chrome on one...

    Car is amazing, and the ubiquitary quirk or two

    Picked up my MSM LR AWD from birm today. Went largely without hitch, other than a cancelled train and panicked "they're going to give my car to someone else" moment. And a "hmm, I can't find you car" computer mishap ("oh sh*t" moment). The car is so smooth and comfortable, and it handles like a...

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

    Had replied to a comment with this, but figured it may help others or people searching for this in future. The Model 3 comes with the Gen 2 UMC and a 16A commando adapter. This will allow the car to charge at 3.7kW, or 14 miles per hour. If you want to use a 32A Commando socket to charge, you...
