    Public Service Announcement - increase your sentry mode clip time to max.

    Missed getting the car reg as sentry mode was set to 2 mins clip size. I guess that's the default as I'm pretty sure I never changed it. Anyone recognise the make/model of car? Possible Audi maybe a little s-line badge on the front bumper? Might help me when I let NCP know. Gained a nice scrape...

    M3 Refresh - Are Indicator buttons really poor design?

    Watched a few reviews now the press cars are out and universally the reviewers seem to think the lack of stalks is a very poor choice. A shame because there seems to be tons of good additions otherwise.

    Octopus emailed today saying "Good news: we're increasing the rate you receive for your export from 4.1p/kWh to 15 p/kWh (that means the average person exporting 1,500kWh to the grid will earn over £150 more a year) ... You're an important part of our advances to a zero-carbon future and our...

    Teething problems maybe? If you don't need to be away by 5.30 maybe just leave it and see what happens. If you don't like the schedule you have been given, tweak the charge limit and ready by time and it will likely reschedule.

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

    Last night was an odd one. Plugged in 6pm at 55%. Both app and car set to 85% limit by 5.30am. I didn't check the schedule but looking at my inverter stats looks like I only got a 2 hour slot from 2.30am which got me up to 74%. No idea why it was so stingy with the schedule.

    [UK] Price cuts

    OK my bad. If you click MYP then the click back on to the MYLR it seems to "remember" the alloys; plus it seems to add the towbar by default on the LR but, curiously not on the other models.

    UK tax incentive issue

    Personal guarantees aren't worth much and the banks know this. If the business fails usually it is because the owners don't have the funds to support it and therefore don't have the personal funds either. The best a PG will get the banks is a "x-pence-in-the-pound" settlement. I'm not saying...

    Yes that is a great tariff in your situation. I suspect they may throw you off it (they're sort of entitled to), but you only have to submit a meter reading every 6 months so don't rush to do that before you have to. I would have concerns about the long term viability of this operation with...

    It is a shame that the prices have gone up so much; it's a nature of exchange rates moving so much in a short amount of time. My guess is that once the Brexit issues is resolved - my hunch is that the vote will be to stay in the EU - then the rates will shift back in the favour of the pound...

    Price Rise - 23 Nov 2015

    I don't think this price rise is the most sensible option for Tesla. The Model S is already at a super-premium price point, interest rates are low and commodity / raw materials prices are falling. Couple this will falling fuel costs, means that overall the Model S package is increasing less...

    National Grid breaking point in UK?

    A potentially good article ruined by extrapolation of bad maths to make terrible maths. Their starting point is that charging is done at 50kW. Most owners will charge overnight. If you have a 70 kWh battery and need 50% to top up, the power needed is 35kWh; over 7 night-time hours that’s 5kW on...
