Now, I don't know whether this is a good thing, or a bad thing... But with all the battery storage we're accumulating, it can reach fairly heavy duty imports overnight. How many of us are now in the 100 kWh Club? Importing more than 100 kWh in one night? Time to step out of the closet...

I upgraded our MyEnergi Zappi chargers to V5 over last weekend. Since then, I've had a plethora of failed charging attempts and error messages. - Installation Limit! - CT Grid Lost With 7kW charger refusing to charge. I've had to fall back onto my 32 Amp Commando Socket and Tesla Universal...

You guys are knowledgeable, and I just wondered if you'd heard anything on the grapevine. I drive a Tesla Model 3 Performance which has no features like Vehicle to Load (V2L), Vehicle to Home (V2H), or Vehicle to Grid (V2G). Tesla seem to point you towards Powerwalls, which is fair enough, and...

Just had a horrible thought... If these Government scheduled blackouts start during Winter... For every day you have a Blackout, your Smart Meter won't record the 30 minute blocks... Octopus Energy will then default onto their Terms & Conditions and charge the whole day use at Flexible Rate...

I've ordered Starlink and the kit arrives on Wednesday. West Midlands, UK installation. The satellite dish will be mounted (eventually) on our North facing wall above the roof line. Has anybody fitted a Ground Earth, lightning rod, or surge protection device? From what I understand the...

I've removed my Yoke steering wheel from my Model 3 Performance, after nearly 12 months of use. I fitted it specifically to see if I could get used to that style of steering device, before spending £100k on a new Model S (whenever they arrive) I personally really liked it, so that mission was...

Sorry I know Commando Sockets have been done to death, and I have searched but cannot find the info I need. I've got an electrician coming over in two weeks to fit a 32 amp Commando Socket to the backup side of my Tesla Gateway 2. The Tesla Gateway 2 currently has a 7kW Zappi Wall Charger...

Just for fun... I know a lot of you have Solar Panels. Some big Arrays out there. So how much power did you produce today? ... and how much slipped through the net and was exported to the Grid? My figures are 38.7 kWh generated and 100% used... nothing exported except some Smart Meter...

Just looking at the UK Model 3 Performance and there's no mention of Lowering Springs anymore. Even the car graphic doesn't jump lower as you flick between Long Range and Performance model. Any ideas when this changed?

Is this real? Tesla recalls 2019-2022 Model 3 batches for sudden loss of power that can happen at highway speeds Or FAKE NEWS https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tesla-recalls-2019-2022-Model-3-batches-for-sudden-loss-of-power-that-can-happen-at-highway-speeds.612630.0.html

A few weeks back I arrived at a Tesla Supercharger Site, V2 Chargers I think, to find one cable covered in mud. It looked like it had been dropped on the ground?? Anyways, it got me thinking how I never check what's inside these charge cable connectors before I shove it inside my cars charge...

I've just been number crunching and created a Spreadsheet of our last 4 months electric energy use. The data has come from Octopus Go Smart Meter downloaded consumption (daily at 30 minute intervals). Current Tariff : Octopus Go 5p : Off Peak 13.72p : Peak 25p Daily Standing Charge Optional...

When I joined Octopus Energy last year, I moved onto their Octopus Go Tariff. Nice... 5p per 1kWh between 00:30 - 04:30 13.72p per 1kWh all other times (Peak Rate) But nobody told me at the time I can also apply for the Octopus Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) Tariff. This pays 4.1p for any...

So then, how are you getting on with them so far? I was stuck in a single lane roadworks last weekend... for about a mile behind a single cyclist in the middle of the road blocking the lane completely. I'm ok about it all, just happily sat behind watching it all unfold, as an extremely...

Are you charging on 3 phase, with a cheap EV Tariff like Octopus Go? I'm currently on a Single Phase meter, but with a 3 phase cabling supply (two tails blanked off) I'm considering upgrading the meter to 3 Phase (I'm on Octopus Go) and hope they'll exchange the meter for me. Then upgrade my...

My Wife and I like the idea of an additional driving screen... the ones you fit to the dashboard in front of the steering wheel. (we use a yoke version) Have any of you in the UK fitted one to your model 3? What brand did you use, where did you buy it from, rough cost and are they any good...

I'm on Octopus Go since May 2021... However, I hadn't had a bill in months so decided to contact them about getting it sorted out. They eventually billed me from about August to beginning of January 2022. Quite a few months, I checked and thankfully all the billing data was accurate. Except...

Been driving my 2021 Model 3 Performance for about 2 weeks now... What is it with Polestar 2 Drivers driving like dicks? Counted three now pissing about, carving me up... 🤔 Are they perminently in Dick Mode? I'm just leaving them to it... Is EV Rage a thing? 😂😂🙈🙈

I'd just like to say thank you to the incompetant electrician who hid a 60 amp fuse within our 100 amp system... My Powerwalls and EV Charger decided to have a hunting party last night at 01:30am to track and kill this rogue 60 amp alien. Powerwalls took victory by jumping into backup mode...

I'm now 500 miles in, since Sept 10th 2021 collection day. So now consider myself a Tesla expert 😁 Having never even been inside a Tesla, never mind driven one, I came blind but now I can see. Bloody brilliant car, that is all 👍🙉🙈🙊 (even if I did only get 200 miles out of it yesterday with...
