One benefit of the Tesla system is that we humans only have two eyes which concentrate on one thing at a time, whereas it has seven cameras which see in all directions all the time.

I had a long run of cable to my back gate, but I dug the trench myself so it only cost me £50 for the extra cable.

Good idea. When I added my son to my policy, it dropped by £70.

I have a little anecdote from my mother, who was a primary school teacher. She told me about this Asian girl, who was the best reader in the class. However, something made my mother suspicious, so one day she started to ask her simple questions about what she was reading, and the girl hadn't got...

Adding all those figures up and dividing by 48 months works out at £19.94 a month. Although, that doesn't take in to account inflation and possible price rises over the 4 years.

If you use the search function you will find an entire thread on the subject with all the part numbers.

Obvious click bait thumbnail. He can stick that where the sun don't shine.

Was it advertised as having V2L when you ordered it? If so, the dealership will have to exchange the inverter unit under warranty. There are a number of people on the forum who have had it done. Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Threre's no man maths there, just plain and simple best returns on an investment. :)

It's good that you've done the maths and seen that it would not be a resonable return on the investment. I looked at it from a saving vs repaying a debt perspective. The savings I get from not paying the electricity companies far outways the interest I could get on the cost of the solar and...

My consumption with solar and batteries on average from last October is, 8% peak, 92% off peak. Saving between £25 to £30 a month if I were on a standard tariff.

What an absolute knob head!

I'll keep a log and report back. Also, I'll be saving on the gas standing charge when I have the meter removed, which will add to the savings.

On the plus side, battery health deteriorates on a logarithmic curve, so the deteriation slows down after the first couple of years. So you shouldn't see much deteriation over the next few years. Research by Guena and Leblanc shows a “four-fold improvement is expected between 100% DOD and 50%...
