It never improves then . Tesla battery can be connect and forget and let’s face it that’s what the majority of the population want with most things . Are you vegan also ?
-
Now that’s EXACTLY what I would expect with the pw . By analysing the data they can tweak the product to function better for me . Does @Nickfromwales softasshitbatterythingy do that ? ?
-
Because I prefer that I control the item I’ve bought . Appreciate that we all have only limited control over our purchase in use . I need to look at the Tesla tariff in more detail - it might be better for me . In the octopus forum where loads of people have pv , pw etc. don’t think I’ve seen one person on Tesla tariff . So presumably there are more savings to be made on agile .

Shower has both feeds live ( fixed leak on manifold ) . Not sure if there’s the slightest of leaks though . Will leave pressurised overnight . More tanking on the other wall

The other point I’d like to make actually involves JSHarris . When he installed an update for his Tesla car the update claimed ( from memory ) a 5% increase in range . And it did exactly that . Unlike Apple whom cripple your hardware forcing you to purchase . The fact Tesla isn’t trying to skim you and lots of their car software is available source wise too look at online is a nice plus . ?

I’ll choose agile to start with then see . You can swap without penalty between agile and go . What I don’t want to do is keep swapping !! . Just a tariff that works for me most of the time . If you do go Tesla it would be interesting to see how you fair on a different tariff. Of course you’ll have different consumption at different times with different weather - so a very accurate comparison ?
-
Yeah I saw that Tesla octopus tariff . Can’t work out if it’s better . What I don’t like is effectively they are controlling your battery .
-
I will . On my phone at the moment - working !! unlike you lot ! ?
-
I assume ASHP did something !! . Nothing else on site plugged in to generate that spike
-
Some stuff for you ! App does generate a csv which I can’t upload . Can rename and upload later if you like .
-
-
What do you mean ? . To measure my consumption in my current abode ??
-
Just saw the rest of your post. Weather in Bristol about the same yet ..... Obviously that could change in the next 10 seconds .
-
Lol at the moment it’s almost nothing . So during winter my electric bill is going to be just a few £’s a month . I need to move in properly then I can estimate much more accurately.

We are the giants . We are effectively the first men on the moon . We f’up a bit on our bodged oxygen tanks and dodgy foil clad lunar module . But we are conquering the unknown with our hearts and tiny bit of head and wallet . Go forward young OnOff Skywalker !
-
Exactly my intended use for PV , charge the battery for night use . Hence agile especially for in winter and lack of PV to charge that battery ( and car ) cheap

Now we’re talking bruv’ I think from the “others” it’s been established it’s not worth it fiscally at least in the short term . I equally was going to have RWH - but as you say payback would be 1 billion years . I actually wanted to produce my own drinkable water from rainwater , but again it just isn’t viable . Looked at pellet boilers for years - before I even began my build . Don’t mind the high initial costs ; but storing pellets is problematic and they just track the price of gas . I want *some* lecky that is free be it pv , wind turbine or my own nuclear power generator ( I’d love one of them - especially when it goes wrong ). Some of us lead . That means mistakes and bad choices will be made . But we pave the way for you lesser mortals to follow . ”This is the way” as the Mandalorian would say . You people are standing on the shoulders of giants ( no emoji exists to demonstrate my complete smugness )
-
Because I can’t answer that question . What Will lecky cost in 5 years ? Once I add an EV ( everyone seems to ignore the cost of purchase because it’s a CAR ) - then there’s even more benefit . Once I swap to agile more benefit again . The true answer will be in 10 years time . As I said even if I break even by then my carbon footprint would of been reduced for a decade . My gut feeling based on others whom have had a pw for longer is that I’ll reach break even before 10 years . Just like building a house ; I’ll take the plunge and evaluate later if it was worth it . The destination is always the journey .

This is a thread about a purchased Tesla - not whether it’s fiscally viable or better / worse than ‘x’.

I think the solar watt is complete sh*t ? Bet you have an Android phone aswell ! ?
-
I’ll order one of those aswell so I can start another thread to be poo poo’d on .
-
My thread ! So ! if you are interested , or want details , or it just takes your fancy as a whim then please post . If you want to rubbish , poo poo , de value , mock then please don’t post . Debate of course is welcome ( not really based on brexit thread and COVID-19) - but if you must - then be broad minded . Don’t be rash . I’ve bought it as others have and will so this isn’t really the thread to say ‘it’s crap ‘ , ‘ not economically viable ‘ - start another thread for that . I think that’s fair !
-
Because it was a personal unfair dig at me ! My Tesla battery isn’t ‘green’ as Peter states - but an EV or Anything lithium battery is ? Constantly goes on about repayment time etc . @ProDave ; agrees with that but at least put a reasonable and fair argument up ! @PeterW can just drop in - rubbish something then move on with zero response ? . Still hasn’t answered the questions posed . But wants us all to admire his ‘ green credentials’ with postering . That doesn’t do it for me I’m afraid .
