    Still no update for me (MYLR reg July 2022) - I feel so left out 😅

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Just tried, it's now working! Good point above by @Pink Duck - I have teslamate, tessie and tesla integration in homeassistant so possible being throttled/restricted. That's possible why I was having issues with the charge not stopping when called by IO (I have my Tesla SOC limit to 100% then...

    Oh no! I cannot get my car registered to IO after having some issues (and stupidly removing and trying to reconnect it again).

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    A very good point - I clean my ground mounted panels occasionally as they get dirty pretty quicker. I would lose to know what you purchased and where so I can do similar to my roof panels? Another interesting thing I've noticed, I generate slightly more power when it's cooler - Panels lose...

    Solar Panels UK - is it worth it?

    Well it's now been a full year since I did my DIY solar, invertor and battery project (16 x 240w panels ground mounted and 8kw of Pylontech batteries attached to a Solis Hybrid invertor) and here's some stats: Total Imported: 10504 kWh (at off-peak rate) Total Exported: 786 kWh (at a rate of...

    Model Y LR Acceleration Boost cost still the same?

    Hi all, can you confirm the cost of AB is still £1500 in the UK? I have a lease car so unabvle to purchase this via the app. I've contacted Zen Auto who have confirm I am able to get this via a service request with Tesla however I've not been able to find what the cost of this is - I'm hoping...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    I have to say, I've had some great results with IO - it's been working very well for me and with integration into my homeassistant, I've been able to control other device during the "IO" period - I've been heating my water tank during this time to lessen my gas usage. I've just signed for the...

    DIY: Model Y Painted Calipers

    Hopefully above gives you an idea. White with black decals and black wheels looks awesome (in my biased opinion)

    DIY: Model Y Painted Calipers

    Here’s my white on white - car was 8 miles old so brakes were spotless. After a good few coats of white I then added the decals and finished off with multiple coats of clear. 1000 miles in and the look the same. Let’s see how long they will last. Plus point: the clear coats provides a nice...

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    This sounds awesome and I'm just at the early stages of looking at battery storage (and the Pylontech batteries). Out of interest what hybrid invertor are you using? I'm looking at Solis just now. Already have PV on the roof with a Growwatt invertor (very basic but have RS232 to a RPi).

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Exactly the same as me - ends start of January (on Octopus Go) so I'm hoping that jumping on IO was the right choice :) At least I know what I'm paying for another 12 months and I'm thinking about adding battery storage to store cheap energy. Already got PV array which came with the house.

    Agreed - did a test charge and it appeared (via email to confirm I'm switched) two days later.

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Similar boat, been on Go for a number of years and my rate expires at the start of January... so it was a no brainer to go with IO this time round. The benifit is, I'm getting 6 hours of off peak now and the rate is the same as the new Go tarrif. Dishwasher goes on just before bed (normally...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    The off-peak 6 hours is always set at the same time however they are saying that it might be cheaper (for them) to charge the car outside this time so they will initiate the charge at peak times but charge you off-peak. so yes, you will ALWAYS get off peak at 11:30 for six hours, regardless if...

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Well I've given it a shot and the test charge worked. I'm on Go with a rate or 5p 00:30 to 04:00 and 14p peak which expires in January. I'm thinking it's probably better to fix before the October rise.

    What was the spec of the order? I currently have two VIN's assigned to me, happy to have another :)

    BMW i4 - Test Drive

    I hated the experience of BMW too - very much "in your face" and had a "genius" in the car with me. I had already ordered the car at this point so I was aware of the spec and features. When the deal fell through I got a Model Y test drive in Glasgow next day, the experience was wonderful -...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    My deadline is mid October as that's when my PHEV goes back - my I4 M50 was meant to be here in May but it was delay after delay and eventually they told me next year - gutted but looking forward to the Tesla for different reasons!

    Sorry should add, they have some in stock - it's a pre-reg 22 plate: https://zen.auto/search-personal-leasing?status=special&make=TESLA&model=MODEL%20Y%20HATCHBACK&term=48&miles=5000&initialPayment=4000

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Good to know - To be honest I ordered twice and the chat with Zen Auto has been bloody brilliant - they are so better than another lease company that have let me down with the I4 M50 I ordered last year (which I've now cancelled due to delay until next year)

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Pretty basic - Pearl White with 20" induction... funny thing, I ordered with standard wheels, then cancelled and ordered again (2 credit agreements) so I've been given two VIN numbers from Tesla! waiting for one to be cancelled!

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Hi all, I ordered from Zen Auto a few days back and now have the VIN from Tesla (app access granted) - It's a June 22 Pre-Registered build so it's "in stock" - Anyone else ordered an "in-stock" from them? they have a few variants still available just now and wondering when I'll expect to receive...

    Model 3 Leasing UK

    BMW i4 - Test Drive

    Hi all, New to the forum and this post was of interest - you see, I ordered the i4 M50 last year (December) and it's been delayed so many times. My latest update from the dealer was another delay until next year (and an increase of £180 per month hitting close to 900 per month!!) however my...
