I paid 12k in September for a S & W 6.8KW split, GivEnergy Gen 1 5Kwh inverter & 9.5KWh batt. Very pleased with the system.

Me too #teamunicorn

You need to go to Solcast, register your site (PV setup) and get and API key. Then in the GivEnergy portal, edit Dashboard and add the Solar Power Forecast tile and use the API key.

Solcast provide tools to predict solar yield over the next 3 day. I use this to plan whether to top up on IO the night before. The forecasts are generally more on the pessimistic side.

When I picked up from Southampton, they literally checked the mileage and took the keys and docs. They told me all assessment had been done via the photos. All done in two mins.

Zero electricity from the grid since Thursday, including washing, tumble drier, dishwasher, kettle and also put 60 miles of charge into my car today - all just from the sun, in mid September. I think it’s worth it, even just for the thrill of sticking it to The Man.

Take a look at this post, has all the info and more - Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

Sounds like the meter hasn’t been DCC enrolled.

If you download Loop and can retrieve you meter readings via DCC, then Octopus will be able to also read your meter and you’ll get on Go

For those with SMETS1 worries, I have an Elster AS300P installed by EON. I swapped to Octopus Flexible last Tuesday, they connected to my meter and I was on Intelligent by Saturday. If you download Loop and can retrieve you meter readings via DCC, then Octopus will be able to also read your...

Same as mine although aero covers on. Nov ‘21 ‘unicorn’ with old 5.3 acceleration but new 60Kwh battery. Was 272 now 267, not an issue for me.

Check the seatbelt tongue is not rattling against the side pillar. I’ve found that when the passenger gets out, the seatbelt retracts but the tongue rests against the plastic pillar housing and makes a rattling sound. If I move the tongue to rest as it should, the rattling goes away. Worth...

4 series diesel BMW. I thought it was a great looking, speedy, reliable car. White with red leather… nice. Looking very sad when I left her at Southampton customer centre. Tessie has a lot to live up to, but I’m impressed so far.

Just checked and they’ve appeared. Picked up Thu, updated software yesterday, heated rear seats today.

When I traded in, they did not even look at the car condition only the V5 and odometer. I was told that the due diligence had been done via the photos I uploaded. I recall you have an allowance of up to 2000 miles over the odometer reading you submitted, but worth confirming with customer...

You have the 60Kw battery. (Me too, picked up last Thursday)

I’ve been out on business for a few days. Charged to 100%, drove for 80 miles 4 degrees C (mixture of 75mph motorway and 60mph A roads). Parked for 2 days (0 degrees overnight). Drove 4 people down to and around town (0 degrees C), 10 miles. Parked for 2 days in the ice and snow. Drove back...

Same here, seems 305 is WLTP and 274 is EPA range for the M3 RWD. Be interesting to see what the real world range is.

I picked up today from Southampton. I wasn’t asked for any ID or Driving Licence. I was trading in, when I walked in they knew my name; possibly from the trade in number plate.

I was there today. If you see this you’ve gone too far :-)

No trays in my car today

Dock gate 10, right at the roundabout, head the the Mayflower cruises arrivals turn left at the next roundabout and left again for the Tesla collection centre. If you drive past 200+ Tesla’s in a huge parking area, you’ve gone too far ;-)

You rock up to the collection centre, park your car, hand over the keys. They check the mileage and that’s it.

No rear heated seats or steering wheel yet. Hi hey told me the car needs connection to WiFi and an update to enable them.

Picked up from Southampton this morning and drove home for an hour. All very easy. Dropped off my trade in, all they checked was the mileage and V5. They gave me the key and left me to look round the car. All looked good and great quality, no panel gaps or paint issues as far as I could see. I...

Had a Wallbox Pulsar Plus installed yesterday. Great service all round from order to Craig the fitting engineer. Highly recommended. £601 all in inc OLEV grant. https://www.smarthomecharge.co.uk/chargers/wallbox/pulsar/

I spoke to sales person who phoned to confirm I was ready for collection. I asked him to confirm exactly what would be getting - confirmed heated seats front and rear and using the ‘internal tool’ that it was the 305 mile variant, but old acceleration. Email follow up - Ordered on 29th...

M3 (SR+ when ordered) Collection due on 25th Nov from Southampton ordered 27th September. Just had a chat with CS to get my reg number, thought I’d ask the age old question on battery v acceleration and was told I have a unicorn - 5.3s acceleration and 305 range battery. I have the J motor...

See you there, same location and day for me. 08:30.

Lol. I’m built for comfort (and range) not for speed, like my new M3 it seems 🤣

Just been told by Luke that my M3SR+ in white, collection due on 25th Nov from Southampton has the upgraded mileage and heated steering wheel and rear seat.
