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

    Can't offer a solution to your problem, but some info and things to try. The "charge delayed" message from zappi usually indicate the car can't be woken-up. Unplugging and replugging should wake the car up to start a bump charge, but zappi might need to be in FAST mode.. Not sure how long ago...

    Creaking suspension

    I had the problem for over 2 months and driven over 1000 miles with the very annoying sound before Tesla got round to fixing it. It took less than 3 hours for the repair. The sound goes away when wet as the moisture/water gets into the joint and acts a lubricant. I was told it's a common issue...

    Number plate security and attachment

    From the dirt/clean marks, it looks like they put their fingers underneath the number plate carrier and pulled, possibly at an upward angle. @Freds Dad @Burley Thank you, It hadn't occured to me to report this. I'll be on the news - "Tesla owner found electrocuted next to his Model 3".

    Number plate security and attachment

    It is standard issue from Tesla and the last 3 letters of the number plate doesn't make a word. The car has the standard white paint, areo-wheels and no modification inside or out. It annoys me that sentry is on and was working the day before, but didn't work when I needed it to.

    Number plate security and attachment

    My rear number plate was ripped off from the car (Model 3) today, unfortunately sentry mode, which as working yesterday, had a cross next to it which meant no recording was made as to how it was removed. From the two holes on the boot lid, it would suggest to me that the whole number plate...

    Octopus Energy Free Electricity

    @VanillaAir_UK What would your usage be if working on GMT? I believe they are still working on GMT and not BST. If this is the case, I'm more concerned about how my off peak Go rate is worked out.

    Tesco free Pod point charge rate

    In my Model 3, I do get just under 7kW at Tesco and with other PodPoints at their 30A charge points and just under 10.5kWh at their 22kW/16A 3 phase outlets. I've not checked, but my guess is the supply voltage is on the lower end of normal. Free is free and "every little helps" as they say at...

    Not able to charge at home, so never charged at home and not used super charger either, but able to see stats on a 2019 car. I'm sharing data with Tesla on the car's setting.

    [UK]2022.4

    Another way to check is via traffic on your router, if it has the ability. If your router has the ability to record traffic and your car is connected to your router when it's in your garage, you might see historic SSL/TLS traffic when it wakes up from sleep.

    Octopus Energy - upgrade the tails with long lead time

    I'm sure you're already aware of this. If you need to upgrade your cutout fuse to 100A, the DNO will require 25mm2 tails all the way from the cutout fuse to the consumer unit. My DNO will upgrade the tails upto the electricity meter when they they upgrade the cutout fuse to 100A, but will not...

    Octopus Energy - upgrade the tails with long lead time

    I had requested my upgrade early December and been offered an appointment for the middle of February! At least it's free of charge where as my previous provider asked for £185 after they initially installed the 16mm tails with the Smart meter.

    Cheap controller ?

    I wouldn't recommend the MSI Force GC20 wired controller or GC30 wireless controller. These used to work, but not anymore. If anyone knows of a solution to get this working, I would very much appreciate your wise knowledge.

    Charging with no home charger is just as expensive as petrol?

    I'm sure the bean counters in government already has a solution for road pricing vs fuel duty. Road pricing could be recouped from domestic registered vehicles and fuel duty and VAT is paid by all, including international registered vehicles using Her Majesty's highways.

    How much does Octopus Energy charge to upgrade meter tails?

    Thank you @nxsynjs @JamesG601. I've been quoted £172.80 by OutFoxTheMarket after SMS installed my smart meter with 16mm2 meter tails in August when I requested 25mm2 for an ev charger to be installed. I'll await for my switching to Octopus to complete before making my request.

    Panic buying!

    Due to my old age😭, I don't remember anything predecimalisation and so was wondering how much that one pound in 1973 is worth today. According to an internet search, with inflation it's about £971! You can travel a few miles with that.

    London to Manchester without stopping? [SR+]

    As I understand it, the car will try to precondition the battery for rapid charging if you set your destination to a rapid changer on the car and Tesla knows it to be a rapid changer. To prevent en route battery preconditioning, I set the navigation to navigate without changing stops so it...

    M3 LR severe fishtailing under heavy braking

    One of the first things I tried when I first got my car was to deliberately pressed both the acceleratior and brake at the same time; the braking took precedence over accelerating which is what I expected. If I remembered correctly, there was a warning sound and a message displayed on the screen.

    UK Supercharger pricing change

Instead of showing a graphics of chargers in use on the map, you need to select the charger location to get a more detailed information. The information include the number of chargers in use...

    Starting cabin temps - not sure if accurate? Even though it seems to be working fine?

    The temperature sensor on the Model 3 is located at the bottom rear of the touch screen and it will report a different (ambient) temperature if the electronics are in heavy demand such as during an update. I've left an outdoor temperature sensor in the cabin (in the cup holder area) and that...

Other than that, you can't hurry...

    WD SSD blowing front USBs in M3???

    There was a cabin refresh in late 2020 where Tesla also added an USB connector inside the glovebox. The glovebox being lockable means a more secure location for sentry footage and included was/is a Tesla branded USB stick which seems to be from Samsung.
