    Thanks, this option was not available, just to scan a QR code. I deleted the app, including the data (iOS asks you when deleting an app). Installed again, and it is asking me to reconnect the IO device! So all good, but it needs to uninstall and install again.

    [UK] ‘Highland’ order discussion

    I am giving back my M3 RWD next Friday as I am changing job. I am getting a M3 LR AWD next Saturday - got £3.5k off and 0% APR. Apart from the fact that I need a car ASAP and Highland is nowhere to be seen soon in the UK, if you watch carefully the Fully charged video, it is obvious that...

    Ordered M3 LR today, expected delivery date on 5th of September. Before ordering I could see the VIN of the car and the status was 'Coming Soon' (from inventory). my understanding is that it is waiting to be loaded or already in a ship. Any ideas?

    I placed the order today in Tesla website, and later on I got the link and completed the finance agreement. Car is not in the UK yet, it'll be available for delivery after 5th of September. Speak to Tesla Advisor and ask for the CA finance; it'll only be possible if there is enough time till...

    Just a quick update; I ordered a M3 LR which will be delivered in Early September (I don't want it earlier as I have a company car right now). Once you put the order, speak to TA and you'll be able to chose between CA and black horse. Keep in mind that CA has a big backlog of applications...

    6,000 Free Supercharger Miles for Taking Delivery by Dec 31st

    Thank you! Really appreciate it! I am a bit worried that I am going to lose the miles, as it is a company car I won’t be able to transfer it to my second account (only if leasing company does it, but I doubt they’ll do it a few days before getting the car back). I’ll send an email to a Tesla...

    6,000 Free Supercharger Miles for Taking Delivery by Dec 31st

    Thanks, just to be clear. I'll change the email address of my account (as I have my current work email which won't be valid). Then do I need to have both cars under my account for some days in order to keep the miles? Or do I need a brand new account to have again both cars for some days?

    6,000 Free Supercharger Miles for Taking Delivery by Dec 31st

    Quick question. If I change car, can I use the remaining free miles? I'll give back my company car, and I'll buy privately another M3 (or MY). What happens to my remaining 5k miles?

    M3 LR RWD UK!

    Do we know if M3 RWD LR has the advanced sound system? Also I suspect that this doesn't have the LFP battery, hence slightly better performance? I am about to hand back my M3 RWD due to change of job, and I am very tempted to go with the M3 RWD LR.

    Swap M3 for MY?

    Thanks, if it was today I would buy the car. Essentially, I pay a 2nd hand price, for a car that I own from Day 1. I will reconsider if something significant happens between now and mid of August e.g. a new model 3, an updated HW4 in M3 or MY, or a significant movement in prices. (all these if...

    Swap M3 for MY?

    yes this is the reason. It is my choice to leave, if it was e.g. redundancy then i wouldn’t pay anything. I have the advantage that I gave my notice, but I have till mid august to make a decision on the car. A good point made above is whether there will be a new model by then. In this case...

    Hi, I have a M3 RWD since Dec-22. Currently at 4,500 miles. This is a company car, and due to change of job I need to give it back in Sep-23.

    Same here. I suppose we'll continue as the 10p rate is very difficult to find elsewhere. Also I am going solar + battery from 1st week of May so day time tariff will become irrelevant for me.

    Would this mean that it wouldn't allow battery discharge when charging the EV? this is great news as I am expecting to get Solar + 9.5Kwh Givenergy battery on the 1st week of May.

    Octopus Energy, including Intelligent and go

    The service from Octopus is always great. This being said, similarly, I didn't have reading since Saturday. I was about to send them a message but it appeared this afternoon. So, not really sure it was related to your tweet, sometimes there are slight delays to readings being fed to the system.

    They know when the car is plugged in. And they may start charging it before 23.30 if necessary. They will override the 23.30 schedule from you. But it'll be charged with the discounted rate.

    Yes it'll recalculate every day depending on 2 factors: - your desired SoC and time you want it ready - the demand/supply in the grid even if you are asking the same thing every day, the slots may differ.

    Octopus Energy Saving Sessions

    I think that the comparison is being made with the average of the previous 10 days, for the relevant slots. So, for example, if 3 days ago it happened you to use the oven in the same half hour slot, then the saving will be higher from another time, that you turned everything off but in the...

    Well earlier today the percentage of electricity produced by wind was over 45% so this may explain the prolonged time slot that you got. Not sure though.

    yes as long as you allow IO to manage the charge. And at the same time, all house consumption will be off peak.

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

    if you set it to 100%, it'll calculate how much time it needs to reach 100%. if needed to charge out of 23.30-05.30 hours, to reach the SoC that you are asking for, then this will be charged as off-peak as well. regarding location: To set the IO, you need to make a test charge. It'll use this...

    Thanks, I'll email them. Once it created a schedule (only) and once it created a schedule and stopped the charging. The time that it created the schedule it was also at about 14.30, so it was not only out of location, it was out of the hours that it should create the schedule.

    Yes this happened recently to me on a couple of occasions. I think you need to turn IO to off when you are about to charge elsewhere. Not a problem if charging elsewhere is just occasional, but again something that you need to remember! I was thinking geolocation is in play for IO but it seems...

    PCH Early return?

    Usually lease companies have a price list (or should at least). e.g. alphabet has one so you can decide beforehand. I found their prices reasonable so I was happy to wait to see if they'll demand something. Finally they were happy with the wheels so it costed nothing! (this was for an Audi A4...

    I've now used IO to charge my new Tesla for 3-4 times. Last two times, the allocated time slot completed at 06.00 and both times the SOC was 95/96% (instead of 100%). I am choosing 100% as I have the M3 RWD which has the LFP battery. Why it doesn't reach 100%? My guess is that when setting up...

    'Ready to depart at 07.15'. whichever app tells to car to be ready at 07.15 is overriding the IO schedule. Regarding the billing of 11th of January, it has been due to a firmware update to smart meters. Should be proactively fixed though.

    When it created the schedule, for 2am, didn't IO stop charging the car? I am new in IO as well, I try to avoid stopping/starting the charge manually through the app. Also, what do you use for connection to IO? the charger or the car? I am using the car (as my charger is the Easee) so if you...

    Octopus is clear that the reduced price (for IO) is valid to all consumption within the reduced Tariff hours.

    6,000 Free Supercharger Miles for Taking Delivery by Dec 31st

    Well, someone who bought on 14th of December, will not even get the free Supercharging miles, so better this than nothing.... Also for some, these have been given due to a company/lease car, where the difference in monthly price (if any) has been minor due to residual value being lower.
