To answer your questions. As far as the insurance company are concerned, it's a fault claim as there is not another insurance party to claim from. As far as the hire car is concerned, check your policy wording. Some policy's include a like for like hire car, whilst others include anyone car...

This. Exactly what I've done, except I've paid 19 quid for the no excess policy. Includes home start as well just incase battery died. No point in paying anymore really

There are loads of tesla's in Milton Keynes. This is going to be a bloody nightmare.

Just had my renewal from Churchill on a 2021 plate tesla LR and it's gone from £430 last year to £936 this year. Nothing's changed and not claimed anything this year. That's over 100% increase for nothing. Cheapest comparison site is £1400. What's going on, got 1 more year left on the lease then...

And a really good way to fudge the system and take advantage. Not great really. Hope you get found out to be fair

Most business lease prices will be ex vat, but it should say somewhere on the quote

With solar and battery, on io, my average rate is approx 8.5 pence pkw at the moment. No other tariff gets close. We also use 85 percent of solar generated, so hardly export either

Are a lot of you charging on 3 pin plugs? I've been on Intelligent for about 8 months now, and never really had a problem with the car not hitting it's charge goal. I have had issues around Octopus recognising the car was plugged in, but this was after an update, and was sorted out within a week...

Nothings changed with the car, and I can still see it on the Tesla app. If I try to reconnect without removing the car then readding, I get a message that Octopus can't find the car in my Tesla app. It's all very weird

I've been having issues now for a couple of weeks with IO reconising the car and charging. If I disconnect the car, then reconnect, it seems to work for a day or two, then tells me it can't connect to the car and asks to renew the connection. The last communication I had from Octopus was to...

I was having this issue, but mine got fixed by disconnecting the car, then going through the reconnection process. It's now showing a schedule for the first time in a week

I'm having exactly the same issue at the moment. An email from Octopus asking me to reconnect the car, then I get the same message, connection successful but no vehicles available. Have emailed Octopus and waiting for a response from them. I've reverted to non smart charging in the mean time

A heat pump in winter will massively increase your kwh consumption. I'd do some research in how much before sizing a battery as I have no experience with those

The way to work out your battery needs in the winter if the aim is to be off peak , is generally about 80% of house usage needed in battery power. In the summer, I'm hoping I won't need to top the battery up overnight, and we can be off grid with the house power (Car will still need off peak...

The house uses between 10 and 15 kw a day of normal use, cooking, washing machine, computers etc etc. The battery holds 13kw, not sure what the actual usage of that is. Charge both the car and the battery overnight on Octopus Intelligent (2330 - 0530) By 0530, both the car and the battery are...

I have a solar Edge inverter linked to 2 x Growatt batteries. 13kw of storage for about £5k In January, with hardly any PV production, we used 50kw of peak power on 1080kw of usage, and some of that was on purpose for the saving sessions

I've got 13kw of battery storage, which is charged from from the grid overnight on octopus intellgent @ 7.5 ppkwh This usually lasts the whole day (avoid putting the tumble drier on) so the whole house is being run on the off peak rate Occasionally on a Sunday, if we cook a roast dinner, the...

I switched from my old go to io in August this year. Lost about 6 weeks of old rates, but that was the time rates where changing constantly so I chose to bite the bullet and lock in 7.5p rate. I'd wait if I were you

This is exactly what I've just paid for 4kw with 13.5kwh of storage. Seems about right at current prices

Just after posting this I found it in the app under subscriptions. Thanks all

It's a lease, so the car is not showing in my account. Anyone on lease know how to do this?

On a slightly seperate note, I've only just had to subscribe to Premium connectivity but I can't find the place to download my invoice for expensing purposes. Do you know where it is in the account (Phone or Computer), as I just can't seem to find it

So your company pay less than 5 pence per mile? (Taken from the Hmrc website) Rates The advisory electricity rate for fully electric cars is 5 pence per mile. Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for advisory fuel rates. The advisory fuel rates for petrol, LPG and diesel...

It is fixed now. Io sometimes takes longer to give you a schedule than it used to as it's polling the car less than before

Thank you East West array so 2 lots of scaffolding. Coming in at 1700 just for scaffolding 900 labour charge listed on the quote. I think I'm being overcharged for parts. Looking at the figures, I might bring the system down from 6kwp on both the front and back of the house to a 4kwp system...

I managed to nearly half mine. Went from 850 with direct line to 460 with Churchill.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you paying for that. I've had a quote for 15 400 watt panels and a 9.5 kwh battery at 17k which feels expensive

It would be great if the phantom drain is now fixed. I'm forever going into the app to stop and start octopus being in control of the car charging. I'll experiment over the next couple of days. Was never a deal breaker for me, but would make a huge difference if I didn't have to do it

Octopus go is cheap charging between 0030 and 0430. No different time slots for go

Yes. I had exactly the same thing. It will be because 1 30 min period is not registering on the smart meter so they don't bill you. I'd get it sorted if I were you, as with prices going up, it's hard to keep track if you're paying enough when your not being billed. 1 phone call sorted it for me

I just took a screenshot from the dvla vehicle check website, sent it to them and they accepted that. That was in September 2021

Yup. Actually spoke to someone yesterday at Octopus who confirmed that. When you're billed, it is correct. My last 3 months of fuel has cost me £48 charging at home. Now that is a bargain! Approx 1000 kwh

I had a very similar thing. I wasn't billed for months, and called them today. They are missing 3 days of data from my smart meter, and this was on the day the old meter was taken out, and the engineer hadn't made a note of the final reading. This would all go away for me if a final reading of...

Well, mine has been parked on the driveway for a couple of days now due to contracting covid and self isolation. The amusing thing is that it was at 67% yesterday, and just checked for the 1st time in over 24 hours and it's now at 68 %. I don't have phantom drain, I've got phantom increase...

Seems like I got a free charge from the Manchester Superchargers at the Tesla shop. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to use them or not, but the car directed me there, Charged for 30 mins, then I was on my way. Expected it to show up in my Tesla account but it never has. Not that I'm complaining

Hi all. Quick question for you as my free Supercharger miles are about to be used up. For those with Company cars, where the company is your own Ltd, do you pay for Supercharging on your company card, or does that have any tax implications from a BIK sort? Just wondering if I need to change...

I've had an eo charger for about a month now, and never had any problems with the app. On octopus go, and always charges in the off peak window. App works totally fine for me

I did mine through ald. Nothing at all apart from texts from tesla. Then, about 2 weeks before delivery I chased my reg and vin and got it over the phone. Paperwork from ald to fill in came the day before collection. I ordered August 4th, collected Sept 25th

Picked up 25th September. Long range m3 100% charge showing 338 miles

It's such a pain in the ass. I could drive to the NP superchargers in 12 mins if I could get in the back gate. As such, I either have to go all the way to junction 15 and come back down again using battery and time, or use ionity at the mk coachway at 69 per kwh which is ridiculous.

I had the same scuff marks on the top of mine, only thing that I noticed to be honest. Looked like it was from protection tape as well

Picked up today at Brent Cross. Loads of cars there, they had 100 handovers today. Charge was in miles and I hadn't worked out how to change it before driving off so it was at 116. Car is amazing, now fully charged (well 80%) and sitting on the drive after a visit to the Newport Pagnell super...

Just had a call from Tesla. They've moved my pick up forward from Monday 27th to this Sat. 2 days early. Result!

Just had a call from go zero who are going to pick me up and take me to brent cross on Monday for my Tesla pick up. Anyone here done that. It was gunna be a pain in the ass for me, so this is a service I'm grateful for, but has anyone else done it. Any catches?

If you've got a lease deal, then the car disappears from your app once it's been converted over from the initial order. It should then reappear on handover of the car. It's a bit disconcerting as this happened to me, but I called tesla and they confirmed this. I still get the update text...

I'll call o

Thanks guys. Think I'll pay the extra and get the roadside assistance. As it's my first EV, range anxiety is currently present, although hopefully that will disappear

Hi all. New to the forums, and excited as I take delivery of a new Model 3 LR on the 27th September. Having just got my registration number today, I'm in the process of sorting out insurance and wondered if people were getting Roadside Assistance with their new Tesla. On reading what I could...
