    [UK] Spring Software Update

    Apple is a very good example here, see the amount of pushback from them on "Right to repair" for further evidence of their policy.

    [UK] Spring Software Update

    Trebles all round in the Tesla FOMO department. A little bit of planned obsolescence here, a deliberate lack of clarification there. Cue a load of panicky threads such as this and you generate upgradeitis.

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

    Beyond the enrolment process it's probably not good security practise to let third party apps amend their permissions, so I'd always rather do that directly from the account giving the permissions. It's probably too much to expect the general Octopus call centre teams to know this too, so I...

    Hows your adaptive high beam?

    This is one of the best things about the update aside from the matrix enablement.

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    I don't think Tesla ever go into a site with a deliberate policy of sticking 4 or 6 chargers in. Most of the constraints in the UK come from either a physical lack of space, or some DNO restriction out of their control.

    Got to try them last night and thought they were responsive and all-round excellent. No caveats to add. Been a while since I've been able to say that.

    [UK] 2024.8.x

    Got to give some props to Tesla for enabling this. I'd argue they should have waited before forcing Auto High Beam on with Autosteer for this to be available and it's three+ years since they started shipping cars with the hardware in it. But I can't think of any other manufacturer that would...

    Got the update and really looking forward to trying the adaptive lights. Got a 2hr30 drive on Thursday night on all types of roads - lit and unlit motorway, unlit dual carriageway with central reservation and urban with streetlights.

    It appears as a third party charger (grey) rather than a Supercharger (red). They display their pricing petrol station-style on an LED board at the site, which is appreciated.

    Did a quick splash and dash at this earlier. It appears in the Tesla charger list now. 65p/kW. I couldn't be bothered to look if it's been added to the Electroverse db yet. Just went for plug and play for the amount I needed. A very welcome addition to the area because Keele sucks.

    I did Nottingham <-> Glasgow this week and used Ionity at Carlisle. Not cheap but I got 65p using Electroverse and fast charging rates. Should never stop mentioning the other plus of Superchargers though which is being billed for kW to the car rather than kW dispensed by the charger. You can...

    Tesla Alternative?

    Not tried it out, but seen a white one in the flesh - the exterior looks very smart. Nicely proportioned, smaller and lower than an XC40. What I can't quite get over is the 'kitchen worktop' dashboard material. I'd have to choose that very carefully.

    Genuine lol. Had an amusing 20 minutes catching up with this thread. The usual stans painting their lord and saviour as Megamind - lads he's done it to increase his margin. He doesn't give a tuppenny f*ck if its better, worse or indifferent (it's worse).

    I think what happens in the Electroverse app is you choose a stall then you get a prompt on the app to plug in. This prep would hopefully override the plug and charge workflow. I don't know for sure though. It's not a huge discount either. I'm on the 8% discount through IOG and looking at...

    Ooh big fan of that. The entire A50 is a charging desert. The Elctroverse app will probably beat plug and charge for pricing with the Octopus discount.

    Super charge speed if battery not pre-conditioned prior to arrival

    <Berniesanders.jpg> Once again, I am begging Tesla to introduce some intelligence into pre-conditioning. There is zero point pre-conditioning a car for a heavily utilised V2 charger which will be limited to around 60kW. I heavily dispute the "preconditioning does not consume much energy"...

    They altered the update polling interval in the car quite some time ago, didn't they? It's a max of one check every 24 hours now or something.

    1 Make sure you have ALL schedules off in the car 2 Make sure you you have ALL smart features/schedules off in your EVSE so it's configured as a completely dumb plug-and-charge device. 3 Plug in and confirm regular charging starts 4 To avoid unnecessary peak charging, it's fine to stop this...
