Octopus have their hands rather full at the moment whilst taking on Bulb customers! Intelligent Octopus only offers 4.1p per Kw if you export from solar to the grid, whereas Outgoing Octopus gives 15p but with that tariff you can't have either Octopus Go OR Intelligent Octopus! Caught by the...

I've just looked at my eZS version and it is 3.1.4 I'm wondering if the developer knows Tesla Bjorn! Tesla Bjorn uses Car Scanner, but I can't get that to show meaningful information, at least nothing like the screen I see he has when it is on the MG ZS EV he had recently. I'm sure it is just...

I hope it does as that is what that USB port was put there for!

And that should NOT be necessary! In a car that costs 30 + odd grand you should get a radio that works consistently.

The title says Mk2!

When you get the time take it to your dealer as there is a firmware update that has improved this trait. I say improves as it hasn't cured it completely. Still 'every little' as the saying goes! You will find that every-so-often when entering the car, sometimes after a charge the radio is set...

I got my dealer, Richmond in Portsmouth, to turn mine off! Still far too many bongs for my liking! Is it something that the Asian car makers deem to be essential? I don't think it is something that Asian's like because Tesla Bjorn dislikes them and he is Thai!

I wonder if you would get a letter like that from Genie Point! I think their computer might be broken along with the majority of their chargers!

Not exactly. The hardware addition on the model S was so it was able to use CCS. The Chademo to Menkes 2 adapter has a software board in it to sort out hand shaking etc. Historically Tesla, call that Elon, got fed up with waiting for the CCS group to come up with a standard, so he went ahead...

I'm wondering if the battery has been set to pre-heat and it isn't turning off, and that is what is draining it whilst you leave it at work etc.? What does it say on the dash when looking at motor/battery voltage and current usage? The car will have to be in the 'ready' state, but it should only...

But Tesla managed it! It IS possible.

Tim, I researched this when I bought my I-Pace in 2019 and took it on a trip to France. France is king for ChadeMo by the way, Nissan being associated with Renault, and both have ChadeMo connectors, or did. Tesla do/did a CCS to ChadeMo adapter, so why couldn't I buy one for my Jaguar? The...

And MacOS is based on Unix. HERE is a follow on from Nokia and thus slightly Sybian in its look. Anything is better than software from Microsoft. Win 10 and 11 are much more Unix like, and the better for it! Nothing wrong with the Android OS as long as it kept up to date! As you say a lot of...

Yes, holding that button will nearly always restore things but that is not easy or safe when driving on your own! For something that costs upwards of £30,000 this shouldn't happen in my view. Mine went in for a software/firmware update which improved things, but not completely, which I find...

If SAIC would allow us access to the api server, as other manufacturers do, then some clever bod could write some software as an extra app to do all these things! There are two guys on the I-Pace forum, one writes Android code the other iOS and there are two apps that can do all sorts of things...
