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

    I'm seriously thinking of going back to Go!

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

    First night on IO and had the same issues - set to 80% but reached 64 at 1:30 then drained to 60 by morning!🤔 Does IO attempt to wake lots of Teslas at the same time to restart charging? How much load would that put on the servers? ... and now it's started again at 11:30 - 12:00 which is a pain...

    Automated Braking System Disabled

    Same here. Cleared the emergency braking message straight away but cruise didn't work till the next day or so. Worth a try before you book a service call.

    Increas in supercharging costs in the UK

    Is there a spreadsheet or database of costs at different sites anywhere? Coming back home from Belgium via Folkestone I could see 22p at Heathrow but 37p on the M40 - and some London sites seem to be 44p at peak times but 22p off peak. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal - Covid...

    Packed Superchargers

    I had my first 10% overnight phantom drain in an underground car park last week. Turned off sentry (as it's a locked garage) and lost 1% in next 10 days - that's better!

    Smart charging and battery consumption for cooling

    With the difference between peak and off peak at around 9p per kWh on Octopus Go I'm sure if you can afford the Tesla it's not a big issue? I was totally anal about sticking to off peak time, but then realised it's not worth the stress! Relax and enjoy! 😉

    Phantom braking still an issue

    Not seen it in this thread but does anyone else have a problem when overtaking 2 trucks in lanes 1 and 2. After I pass and try to move back into lane 2, any truck in lane 1 jumps into lane 2 on the visualisation as a red obstacle and the car gives me a collision warning. It only lasts a few...

    Maps - how to update?

    Interestingly, when we're parked at home, the car thinks we're actually either next door but one or at the opposite end of the next cul de sac!

    ICE to EV doubts

    Seriously? I'm still smiling 15 months into my M3LR. Bought LR so we could get to my daughter in Brussels (that would be nice!) - 3 x 15 min stops en route, so forget range anxiety. It's still a talking point with neighbours and other randoms in supermarket car parks - I feel I'm an evangelist...

    UK Supercharger pricing change

    If you tap the supercharger icon on the nav screen it shows all the details. I had a trawl around the route from Lancs to Folkestone last night and, whilst most are now around 30p, Heathrow T5 claims to be 20p/Kwh!!

    FSD computer on mine but only standard AP. VIN 687xxx if that's useful info.

    Long Range... Well not really

    Maybe all new Tesla drivers should have a 24kW Leaf first! You learn massively about energy economy. Cruise will increase consumption as it's constantly accelerating and decelerating, air con was always OK but without too much heat and with low fan speeds, and go easy on the right boot! Enjoy...

    Phantom braking still an issue

    Just to be clear, are we talking about FSD or basic AP?

    2020 Shipping Movements

    Got my text on 6th for pick up at Stockport on 16th. Rang them on 11th to ask about the invoice and was given my reg when I asked for insurance purposes. Invoice arrived on 12th. Very helpful, but clearly under pressure with a lot of enquiries!

    Took a test drive of the Hyundai Kona Electric

    About to part ex our 2015 24kW Tekna for M3 LR. Very excited about the Tesla but the Leaf has been a fabulous car for 2.5 years and 22k miles. Range is the only criticism I have for the Leaf - well equipped, totally reliable and perfectly adequate for most daily use. But with range sorted we...

    Removal of EV grant is only for future orders through the government portal. I would hope Tesla applies for the grant when the car was ordered.

    I'm in the same boat - but VIN has appeared on the manage screen so I guess it's in the process of being registered with DVLA.

    Acceleration Boost £1.5k

    And they was I thinking the point of LR was to go a long way! Guess you won't get quite as far if you want to melt your tyres!

    Does anyone wave anymore?

    That's M3 Blue owners for you - I'll be waving from my LR Blue from 16th! Perhaps it should be part of the handover instructions?

    Took a test drive of the Hyundai Kona Electric

    I'd second that. 25k miles in 2.5 years. Admittedly had an ICE for long journeys but managed 200 mile round trips with destination charging and 1 top up en route. Maybe donde of the hypermiling techniques will stand me in good stead getting the best out of my M3 LR!

    I thought long and hard about the Kia. Looks very impressive. Spoke to the local dealer who said delivery was 12-18 months!

    First impressions after first drive

    Still waiting for my M3LR, but from experience in a 24kW Leaf it's the heating that kills the range. Heated seats in that run from the 12v supply not the motor battery. A/C with a lowish temp draws very little. Looking forward to not having to slipstream HGVs to get home!

    I guess as far as Tesla are concerned if the cars have left the factory they are inventory, whether they're at sea or in a showroom.

    I asked Stockport about personalised plates and they said they can't offer to assign them because of the number of vehicles they are handling. £25 for a set of plates isn't a bad price!

    New Octopus Go tariff and off peak options?

    We've been on a smart meter with Bulb who've been promising an odd peak rate since Sept 19 but it's never materialised. Had a hunt around yesterday and Orbit are offering a tariff of 10.98p for electricity do for anyone who needs to charge anytime or can't be bothered with timing charges that...

    It could also be down to the price of red v white? I'd you're ordering SR+ and working to a budget the extra might swing your choice?

    Camera condensation

    Still waiting for my M3 LR and picking up lots of interesting info. FWIW, misting up is worse in my Leaf than in previous ICE cars. Air con clears it better than heating and according to the energy usage readout uses less energy. I wonder is air con the best answer for this too? Looking forward...

    Tesla Trade-In Price

    Twsla have offered me a fair price for my 2015 Tekna Leaf which I've accepted, but a very poor one on a low mileage C4 GP - Arnold Clark gave me £2k more than Tesla's offer, and it was an easy process.
