    Ive edited the main article to make it 100% clear its the first generation (non face lift) model. It can apply to newer models but charge times and power draws will be different. Also added in the telsa NL supercharger trial as well.

    Octopus Go Faster tariffs ……

    I'm also on Go Faster 20.30 5h that ends in January 2022 and thats been withdrawn for new customers. From octopus tariff list, the earliest start at 21.30. Hopefully same time would still be offered to existing customers.

    Extra 20 Miles?

    The maths are very optimistic. The 20miles was based on 5miles per kw and no battery losses. The one thing that I did see is it supports bidirectional charging in home. If so, that would be lot cheaper than a home battery.

    Fast chargers advice Portishead Bristol, M4 west South Wales

    Newport has removed there car plate cameras, so no chance of parking fines. But they do lock their gate! I know, as I'm a member of that gym... 😅 Also Greggs is only a 2min walk away, so great to place it on charge and get a bake. Far cheaper than costas food.

    Swansea to Bristol Airport

    Swansea to Bristol Airport is only 86 miles (according to google). Unless your driving "like you stole it", easy to do on a full charge. I would on the way to the airport pop into mollies at cribbs causeway to top up to 80ish% (best for speed to rapid charge with a warm battery), maybe food also...

    Reduced range following garage visit! Hurrah!

    The miles on the GOM will come back, as when the BMS is updated, all usage is erased. Unless you have lead foot like i do and might see it go down 🤣 Also on benefit of the 449v BMS is that kers 3 regeneration is available sooner and less "use brake" warning when fully charged.

    kWh to mpg.

    It will be 0p or very low Xp for solar, and the few that do get FIT payments for solar generation, that will go to paying for the panels. The only way to get negative electricity is to be on octopus agile tariff and hope to see a negative prices. Which i think last happened last year....
