I am so sorry! I will have a look and possible delete it and start again

As long as it's not white, you should be fine. They're all nice l guess. Remember, red you won't be missed. Everyone will know your car if you know what l mean.

@@markwatson2967 thanks Mark, l hope so. Just a few things not working as expected but joining a class next week on understanding it more. Didn’t think l needed it

The lease car company did organise all for us. We would have gone Saturday to pick up but they wanted their paperwork signing

Thought l knew all about them until we got this one. A lot to learn for sure

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 Fair enough, well good for you more convenient.

Congratulations to you both, looking forward to learning all about your Tesla and your new adventure.

@fsr170409 thank you, time will tell

not sure I follow you to be fair. I have never had a problem after this short video. It has worked well after that. You may need to actually reset you can and start again as you may have done something for it to sleep and not wake up when it needs to charge. What charger are you also using and what help have you searched from electricity provider and the car manufacturer. I have never stayed up for charging. I am infact charging the UPRA this evening and will set to charge at preferred times either in the car or on the App and job is good. Yes it might appear as though its charging but it wont. I have Octo-Aid app that shows exactly when it starts. I am sorry but the car has been amazing to us and I hope you can get this issue sorted so that you can enjoy EV. Yes charging in public chargers is more expensive and only use the public chargers to get home i.e. I will top up only to get home so I can utilise the cheaper rate and reduce my monthly average but charging off peak. This will mean I only stop for 5-10mins on public chargers and charge at home.

Maybe but l have had this treatment for 3 years now and decking looks good still. I use just before the depth of winter, around about now. Sanding all that is way to much for me

I think Paris polic3 were already not happy with them so rather than make a scene, he sounded it less than on a normal way

It depends mate, we can ask the Range Rover, BMW x5, Audi Q7 drivers really. Nevermind the expensive fossil to fuel for 5 years. Might find the EV9 is actually cheaper.

Thank you! It’s one of the best decisions we have made for our house. Home working is here to stay and to calculate how much it cost us then 3 years and counting is amazing

Thank you and congratulations on your HP too. yes, weird right that, we’re waiting for the cold weather. I have sealed the doors too, making sure there is no cold draught coming through. I am waiting for the cold but also tentative as l know it’s going to cost more. I’m at 18 degrees at the moment, just leaving the pump for the water. It’s not off for climate, it’s just reduced temp only.

And can be insured reasonably than the RR. Yes l was pleasantly surprised by how it drove. Maybe it's a new car feeling as it was better than MachE or Cupra.

Interesting? What do you think it will show?

According to your figures using last years standing charge and electric rates you would have paid £143.59 total without a gas bill. To me that is a big win. Don't forget to allow for the variables otherwise it's not like for like.@@letsgoelectriclge1320

I'm sure it, do you have the Ford MachE down under?

I'm actually there now, at our local and the white one and the red one look good

well spotted mate, thank you, yes there is a SD charge as well. I think though, gas would still have been slightly lower. Winter is the exciting time that I can wait although nervours too

How about the depth? It's about what you carry

I kind of know to be fair but but going it through minutely will be too much. My daughter now plays netball and we are always on the move, so that contributes for sure. I am just please that EVs are really not costing arm and a leg to run. The test for heat pump will be winter. The daikin App has details on and I also have a Octa-Aid app which breaks it down for you each 30 mins with nice colours for red, orane and green for cheap usage. You said heat pump heating the water will be less efficient, I am not sure as I heat the water on cheap times and also have a 30 min heat up around 2030pm so we can have showers after netball. The true test will be winter where I will need to monitor closely for sure. Thanks for the tip.

If only there is a plan for the autumn statement, not sure this government has giveaways at the moment. October prices already predicted to go up by 7% l believe so it would be nice but l think they won't be giving much away.

Not yet, due to elections and not being sure, l decided to wait a bit. Octopus said no to the garage roof and Tesla powerwall 3 look good, although l have massive reservation about Elon and his nonstop political position. I will see what this winter will be like and then invest

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 What was the issue with the garage roof ?

Nothing, Octopus Energy they don't fit on garage roofs. It is one of their no no. Surveyor said it straight away so thought maybe they would reconsider but no. The house roof has Dorma window and velux at the back so in the end the work and what it was worth (6panels) 3 front and 3 back was not worth it. On the garage, although l have some shading in the morning until 1030, the rest of the day they are unshaded and could fit 5 SE and 3 NW like to capture end of day sun

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 I’d get someone else to quote, solar is a big plus to reduce bills,

@johnb7644 yes l have but l have conflicting values (Tesla, Giv Energy and Enphase) that have stopped me from going for it. I was hoping the new gov have some incentives too but pushing my luck there. Definitely something on the table for sure.

Cheers for that tip mate, l don't think it's using that much and it doesn't reheat throughout as it sometimes comes down to the lower 30s. I think what l used including running 2 EVs is not bad. How pattern is all over the place but it reheats to high around 2030 as my daughter and wife bath after due to netball.

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 Good stuff. We have the 8 kW version of your ASHP and a 250 L tank, and I have found that our daily pattern has settled down to 3.1 kWh of energy for Hot Water heating, without running out of hot water. Initially, I was observing up to 7 kWh daily consumption for DHW, because of unnecessary reheating.

@kolaajibade8846 yeah you have a bigger tank. I believe l have 210L and don't run out and if we need more l just switch on, on the app for 10mins and all is good. I'm impressed but it to be fair but winter will be the test.

not too much as the door bins have nice soft layer on and the top of the dash has some very soft bits on it. They have to try and reduce wait and save on a few ££ somewhere but all in all, its not too hard plastics.

Awesome car and you will enjoy it. Keep us posted please!!!

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 4 days in with the new car. Absolutely loving it. Definitely glad I went for this over the other 2 choices I had and test drove

It's amazing Mark, really good colour too, no need to worry about the water sipping in!

I have never changed the flow temp for the gas boiler, didnt know I could do that either. It was just as installed when we moved in, in 2017

@letsgoelectriclge1320 Indeed, was probably set to 60-70 degrees. We ran our gas boiler last winter on 45 degrees to simulate a heat pump and it worked fine and used a load less gas. Hence why I was asking to see what the cost difference could have been...

The honest answer is don't know. I think those variations are difficult to make as they are too many I.e. I could have been on annual leave, from work, could have WFH more, could have visited a relation over a weekend etc. It then becomes not much of a comparison but like using month on month comparisons. The annual one will be more representative of usage although l WFH less this year than last and went away for 3 weeks last year, which l am not doing this year.

Thanks Mark, yes the heat pump is only heating the water for about 30mins between 2030hr and 2100hrs on peak and also an hr off peak around 0430am. I will check the input on the MMI but last time it was not the same as the phone app which was more confusing. Please let me know more about the monitoring kit as l would love one too. I also hear OE are developing one as well to be on their App which will be great too. The Solar decision is one l am still going through in my head and getting more muddled in the detail.

From the last seven years of personal experience, Solar PV, with battery storage, is worth having, when your transport and heating needs are already electrified.

Relaxed now, it's a few years and novelty has worn off. it was food mostly that they were not allowed to eat in there. It's a lovely space for sure

wow, really, I would love to see them mate, and how random to be in the same estate. I have a bit of shading in the morning but rest of the day, I am clear. This will be good to know exactly the numbers generation & any export.

Good questions there bud and tricky to know. I think the battery won't be able to in winter but at least it would help 75% of peak then the other 25% would be peak. Just had a visit from another company without booking and although it appeared a lost cause, he was excited about panels on my fence????? I do follow Tim and Kate, might try and find their simulation video. You know what has happened in this research stage is l have managed to have so much information which challenges the other position and in the end, not sure which way to go.

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 Their simulation video is their latest-but-one video ruclips.net/video/MToBzgvOOhc/видео.html @UpsideDownFork's latest video makes a case for maximising solar export with no battery. Perhaps you don't need that large a battery or a battery at all? I think Tim has also suggested maximising export, and discusses why he didn't add more batteries here ruclips.net/video/_qysulne5g0/видео.html . Battery prices should be dropping as Lithium etc. prices normalise and grid-scale batteries go mainstream. On the other hand, import/export tariffs will change, and a battery might be useful, perhaps for the four hours a day that Agile Import is most expensive?

@UpsideDownFork also advocates his NW and SE facing solar (and no batteries) at around 6min in this video ruclips.net/video/Jr7ntB1eOLg/видео.html The first of two videos on why he didn't put in batteries is here ruclips.net/video/tdHFsI8jz3w/видео.html With the cost of scaffolding, I would have thought solar on the house roof would be considerably more pricey than the garage. Hopefully your quotes reflect this? I can also see that adding batteries would add interest to your channel!

Wow Mark, you made me giggle there with summer. It's dire at the minute and not sure what is happening to the weather this year. Bring back covid 19, summer was better 😂. Thank you for the tips and assurance on the sunsyk inverter and the givenergy batteries. Tesla, I am conflicted by Elon and possibly the price. It's tricky because in the end of the research I'm getting confused on what to consider

What’s the aspects of the garage roof

@@johnb7644 do you mean measurements. I think around 3.2m width and about 4m length. The other guy who came round suggested he won't be able to fit 6 on the roof but 4? Which renders the whole solar idea out! He is optimiser driven and I'm micro inverter so it's tricky

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 No Mark I mean west, east etc, A chap on YT has filled his north facing roof and is getting good results,

@@johnb7644 You might be meaning @UpsideDownFork that I mention in a reply I wrote?

Not sure mate, l can promise you l did do total as l edited but it was for both heating and climate

Really Glen, the only way is basing it on the outside temp not usage, that's a first. It does not matter what the temperature was last year and this year. Would you also want to base it on how many time l was in the house? Usage is way better comparison than anything else

​@@letsgoelectriclge1320Isn't Glen saying that outdoor temp will affect heat pump use, and thus electricity use? So if it were colder, you'd expect the increased electricity use you've seen?

Probably is but if l were to use the outside temp considerations, might as well check if l went on holiday or not, if l was home more the year than last year, do you see where l am going with that kind of consideration? Variables are to be expected in comparisons but usage is a better, closer comparison

So app is over stating, that's helpful to know as it didn't make sense. Thank you for confirming. How is mum getting on?

Awesome, what a journey! Well done bud

For my last question, a battery would help Agile users avoid import during peak periods, making set backs and forwards unnecessary.

They're incorporated in the bill so they are considered

Awesome Craig, have you managed to get the COP yet? I am keen to know th3 data and see what we are getting. The 2nd month appears very cheap for us. I think we are near half way our billing cycle and octa-aid app suggests the next bill to be around £150. That would be unbelievable! Including charging the 2 EVs too. Interesting really!

We had a crazy weekend soon after HP was fitted and travelled with both cars that then needed charging while we had other trips during the week. We must have charged everyday for 5 days straight And yes it was colder period too so l agree with you

I'm seriously considering it especially for winter usage. Definitely the next and l think l can settle down after that 😜

@@letsgoelectriclge1320Having a battery is a game changer.

@phlpthms74 with solar right? Apparently solar panels are so cheap nowadays, the labour is the one taking more of the amount & batteries too are expensive.

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 We have solar and batteries. We saved over £2000 last year. I am about to buy an extra 3x 3.2 kWh ready for our Octopus heat pump install on the 22nd July. I have been quote £500 more for two batteries than I paid for one in the past. Battery prices are coming down and no VAT anymore. I will have a total of 19.2 kWh once they are installed. I am on Agile.

Probably solar would be more valuable? 3.68kWh peak of South (£6k?) facing solar at your location generates about 4510 kWh per year, which would be worth about £676 at 15p per kWh. Batteries might allow you to shift 5kWh per night from 7p to 26p (for £5k?) saving £365 per year.

Thanks Mark, you want l want to do now is monitor the heat pump and see what COP I'm getting. Currently working blind just monitoring usage using the Octo-Aid app which is amazing. The other item on my mind is Solar and/or Battery! Still running numbers and research

@@letsgoelectriclge1320 I've been looking at how to get SCOP and Cop figures from a Daikin and it seems from a lot of web forums that lots buy third party monitoring kit, like the OPEN ENERGY MONITORING system. It appears from the web pages I have visited also that the kwh usage from the Daikin 'user interface' can be unreliable. Do share how you get on with your battery and solar journey. I have had solar for 12 years, and based purely oin feed in tariff payments, has just paid for itself. I am now getting my electrician to price up a home battery to add to it so I can buy at cheap rate and use over dearer periods of the day and evening, or sell on back to the grid. I am looking at GivEnergy battery systems, as currently Octopus E install those alongside solar panels. Retro-fitting the GivEnergy 9.5KW battery and a new inverter, or the 13.5kw all-in-one battery and inverter, are my two current options. Payback is a good question, but one only each individual can answer. If I factered in all the money my solar saved me from heating the hot water and powering my AC to heat and cool, it sort of becomes an obvious choice as part of an eco system of tech.

I did include gas for last year's usage including changing the cost to current prices. Thank you for watching, it's the usage which is higher and comparable to 23 usage at cost

Just to confirm I can see the gas kWh in the bill and spreadsheet (823.8kWh) in the video

On the limit, 70mph and sometimes 65 as l was using cruise a lot just as l drive normally so l could measure it correctly. It impressed me

The 4KW one - EDLA04E2V3
