PITA
Model 3 Performance
Very similar to our setup, very nice...On my Tesla plan, once my Powerwall is full, I can charge off of solar, otherwise it just gets exported!
I have a 7kw solar array, 2 x electric cars, 12kw heatpump, solar thermal hot water, and 1x power wall.
On average across the whole year, we are using 28Kwh per day. Low day is 8.2Kwh and a high day is 77.9kwh. Looking at the Winter months, the average is 56.2Kwh per day, with a high day of 115.2kwh. The summer is naturally much less, during which we are pretty much exporting 40% to the grid everyday, as it doesn't all get used. In the winter, solar generates approx 7-8kwh per day. Powerwall is say 13kwh usable with losses, so we have a short fall, which gets very expensive outside of the 4 hour Go window.
Lets say, during winter, I could charge my car at 7kwh and Powerwall at 5kwh during the 4 hours window, Im only going to get 42kw of benefit. I can ignore export benefit as I dont export anything in the winter due to lack of solar.
Average Day:
42kw x 0.05 = £2.10
14kw x 0.16 = £2.24
+0.25p SC = £4.59
vs
56kw x 0.083+0.22p = £4.87
Heavy use day:
42kw x 0.05 = £2.10
73kw x 0.16 = £11.68
+0.25p SC = £14.03
vs
115kw x 0.083 + 0.22p = £9.77
Then, for me during the summer, I export around 40% of solar, so get huge cost recoup via that, along with the fact I import around 40% less as well,
Go Tariff would work out much more expensive for me personally, plus I am free to use energy when I would like too, rather than during defined periods.

Just finished our house with an EPC Rating of A+ (105 Score) so we feel reasonably well set up now for a while.
