Looks like I've had a week's worth of smart meter data go missing :( hoping they can sort.it in time for me to sign up

Is anyone else getting the "You can't join Saving Sessions right now" message when opting in to the session?

I had exactly the same when I switched last week so obviously not as strange as octopus make out :)

Definitely on IO, not sure about Go "You're an important part of our advances to a zero-carbon future and our latest upgrades mean we’re now able to offer the higher paying Outgoing Octopus to our Intelligent Octopus customers. By choosing Intelligent Octopus you’re part of Europe’s largest...

Probably not the sensor then 🙂 mine still locks but I frequently walk outside to hear the music playing

I've got an issue with the climate staying on along with the screen and stereo. Booked in on Friday to replace the sensor in the driver's seat.

I was in an accident last year and the assessor told me the opposite, they try not to write them off as the battery disposal is expensive.

We've had the sunsynk 8kw with pylontech batteries for a couple of months now. Started with inverter and batteries to take advantage of the cheap overnight rate and the panels were added last week. The inverter has been performing great and we have pushed it to the max 8kw output on several...

All great info thanks, I was planning to have something running on a raspberry pi to manage overnight battery charging based on the solar forecast and also to balance using the excess between battery, hot water, car and hot tub. Would also look at a monitoring screen so the wife can see when is...

I grabbed an API key for solcast yesterday so good to hear it's useful. How close do you find their predictions to be to reality?

Thanks for the info, useful to know. My plan B was to write something to monitor excess and automatically adjust the charging amps to suit.

Thanks, apparently any development work is on pause following the acquisition. Hope they start again and improve their app soon! Their support person did try to sell me one of their evios chargers, not quite what I was after!

I think I've secured wife approval for a solar install so I'm starting to look at charging options with the Andersen we have installed. Their website is a little sparse on how it works so I emailed support and they replied saying I can choose how much solar to use in the app. I already have the...

We had the boot strut replaced in April this year. Today we had a ranger out for a different issue (charge port not opening) and whilst here he changed the strut again as there has been a recall. Apparently due to rust issues

I've found switching Bluetooth on and off normally kicks it in to life, faster than restarting the phone

If it goes dumb I think I will be trying a section 75 on my credit card. Losing all the "smart" services means it isn't what was purchased and a good chunk of functionality is broken

I also forgot to turn sentry off, luckily the body shop is only a couple of miles away so I went down and turned off. Only lost 4 or 5% since the accident now. An option to do this in the app would be very useful

I might be able to help give you an idea :) I had an accident a couple of weeks ago (unfortunately my fault though) and had what looks like similar, if not worse, damage. The repair work is roughly new front bumper, new wing, new headlight, replace suspension on the passenger side, new wheel and...

I suffered with my lower back when I first got the model 3, it was bad enough to consider ending the lease as I couldn't drive for more than 30 minutes. My physio suggested a memory foam wedge for the seat base, since buying one I've not had any issues

I'm on the May 2021 v1 tariff as well but mine still shows an October 2022 expiry :( Hopefully it'll go the same way as yours!

We had a new strut fitted yesterday, will see if this one lasts....

How do you receive the estimate? I can see in the app that the cost estimates have been done but I can't see them anywhere. Would it be because mine is a lease on a company car scheme?

Our boot has struggled to open recently. Strut has the o ring although it has perished already. Car delivered June 2021

You could but would you want to be driving the Espace 😋 For me I would have had to pay for a seatbelt mount to be fabricated in our camper and it wouldn't be crash tested so this seemed like the best option. Different reasons for a modern car but kids car seats aren't cheap and the running costs...

I recently had to find a car seat solution for our old campervan (could only fit 1 3 point belt and had 2 Kids seats to fit. I came across the multimac which is a good solution for fitting more seats in comfortably, my order should arrive by the end of the month. Not cheap but it's crash tested...

I bought one of these and had to use it again recently this time I realised that there is a small bolt that holds the disc in place and there is no recess in the rear of the wheel to accommodate this so the wheel doesn't sit flush. Easily drilled with a 10mm bit but worth checking before you...

My charging regime is one it drops below 60% I'll plug in overnight. The 4 hours overnight octopus go adds just under 50% so probably charged to 100% 3 times a week. It means there's always a reasonable charge should an unexpected journey occur.

I have the Andersen A2 and whilst overall I'm happy with it i've had some issues. First was the installer not doing the best job on the install and also throwing out the adaptive fuse I paid for. To be fair they sent out one of their senior engineers to rectify it. Current issue is they have a...

I moved to go in September just before the price increases. Shortly afterwards I enquired about moving to option 2 but was told it would mean losing my cheap rate and signing up to whatever the current go tariff is. I decided to stay put :)

It can vary depending on the car. The company I work for offer salary sacrifice via Arval and for a Tesla you need to be 30+ and it has a different set of terms regarding repair excess and driving history. I believe everything else they offer is 21+. As said though it probably also depends on...

I get a periodic click from the right hand side of the dashboard now the weather is cooler. Sounds a bit like a relay, presumably heat pump related. Has anyone else heard this?

Just seen this article: Tesla begins remotely activating heated steering wheels and rear seats in SR+ Model 3s [Update] Has anyone had them enabled yet? It'll be interesting to see how far back it goes, mine was delivered in June so should have the wheel. Not sure I would use either (kids in...

I had some kerb rash repaired recently which was a complete strip of the wheel and then powder coated. Cost was £54 so it wouldn't be too expensive to get them all done in a different colour. Just expect to be without the car for a couple of days

Maybe even better than that, he showed me the website that they ordered from: TESLA MODEL 3 AERO ANTHRACITE 24-00-260 [24-00-260] - $22.41 : Wheel Paints

Thought I'd post an update as I have just refitted my repaired wheel. I went with the company who strip the wheel completely and I'm really pleased with the result. It took a little longer than usual as the colour they had was the old wheel colour so had to order in but they check this before...

I ordered this one last week and I'm currently running around in it as I have a wheel in to be fixed. 18" TESLA MODEL 3 NON-PERFORMANCE 2017 > 2021 K.O.M SPACE SAVER SPARE WHEEL & TYRE KIT - Tyremen Delivery was quick, I didn't use the scissor jack as I changed at home using my trolley jack. I...

For me on the first night after the update the car charged at 16 amps. I started another charge in the day, increased to 32 amps via the app and monitored it for 30 seconds to make sure it was drawing that and then disconnected. The following evening I plugged in as normal and the scheduled...

I was back to charging at full speed last night

After updating yesterday my charge overnight was at 16A. I started it again this morning and increased it to 32 via the app. Will see what happens tonight

A bit off topic but what space saver did you get? I'm having a wheel repaired next week and would prefer not to be without the car for 3 days!

I enquired about to faster last week and got a quick email reply with a link to a form. They said it would take a few days after it was submitted. I decided not to change at the moment as I would have the new day time rate (25p) rather than the old one (15p)

My June 21 SR+ MIC has it

I had expressed an interest via the website when I joined and was waiting for the smart meter to be installed. Once it was installed o emailed them again to check the tarrif and was told it would be the one from when I registered. Did the switch online and the old pricing showed up straight away

I've uses OCDetails to valet our M3 a few times since June, last time was on Tuesday. Not had the ceramic coating done as it's a company car but he is always very busy and it has a nice selection of motors in for work. The examples of work I've seen whilst there all looked good

Given our usage "every charge" is once a week most weeks but occasionally a few charges a week which is pretty much in line with the guidance in the manual. 99% of charging is at home as well so that's a bit gentler on the battery. Will keep an eye out for any change in advice though

Had my LFP SR+ since June and pretty much every charge has been to 100% and experienced no issues.

It took just over a day to get a response for my query.

I'm amazed but octopus honoured the tarrif from August, no issues and it sounds like this would have been the case without prompting. Very impressed

I had my meter installed on Tuesday and got the email inviting me to join go today. No mention of the prices in the email or on the link they gave so I've emailed them to check if it's the current prices or the ones from August when I registered. Long shot but you never know....

I'd be interested tonhear how you get on with the wind noise. I've noticed a bit recently that sounded more like the windscreen to me but it only seems audible in a cross wind
