That’s right @Battpower , and exactly my plan. Any excess generated will firstly be taken by the Wallbox to charge the M3 (when it needs any charge), and then if that’s full or I don’t plug car in then hot water diverter will kick in to take excess. That 6A minimum may be an issue in the...

Thank you @Avendit & others. Personally, I only charge the car a couple of times each week, and commute c.2 days, so car will be there a fair bit ready to charge IF we get a sunny day. That might be rare in Winter (so it'll need a top-up) but in Summer sounds like it'll work well. Installer...

Interesting thread, thanks everyone. Having got my M3LR in December, I’ve now had a Wallbox Pulsar Plus installed (with the grants) and so next step is solar panels - 11 panels for a 4.5kW install. Going to cost c.£5k but I can borrow that interest free in Scotland, so repayments going to...

Thank you @Bobster1967 / @Sinx / @Alistairuk for your advice. I've paused the application for now, and will restart once I'm ready to place order with Tesla and get that Order Confirmation/Agreement. And ensure I keep the Autopilot off at stage 1! And thanks @Bodger for your summary - seems...

Thanks for the update @longmalx and @Sinx - hope the timing works out ok for you both. Are you financing yourselves for the time being or having to juggle delivery dates? I've been going through the EST application form, although a few things I wasn't 100% on - namely: What to put in the...

Thanks everyone. I rang EST this morning and have now received an email with link to the online form. It seems they just want to run through some initial screening & wider energy questions before allowing you to apply - hence the need for a call rather than just providing the form online...

Cheers @Alan J , but the only one I can find online is this, which must be an old version as it talks about being "up to £50k" - I wish it still was!! http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/sites/default/files/reports/Electric%20Vehicle%20Loan%20application%20v1.pdf Thanks for letting us know...

Thanks again @Alistairuk and @longmalx - all good to know. Especially that Tesla are geared-up a bit for EST financing....hopefully that means they'll help when they can, even if that means having to delay delivery a couple of months as actually for me that would be easier than trying to rejig...

Thanks for all your replies. @Alistairuk - cheers for useful summary, I'm really hoping to avoid having to fill the gap you experienced. Seems crazy that EST expect some people to fill this gap, hardly makes it open for folk who can't afford to do that. @Sinx - thanks too, if you could let me...

A useful thread, thanks everyone. But is anyone able to just summarise the order / timing of everything to help me plan how to do this? (Really don’t want to have to try to fund the gap!) Get that I firstly need to get EST approval, as without the interest free loan I might do things...

Hi all, I just wondered if there was any update on this? In UK the M3 doesn't currently have the towbar option online - I'm not ready to order just yet, but wondered if others have managed to add one by calling Tesla?? Just curious to know before I progress...
