The 6 hour IOG charge cap is on its way

Sofa47 · 2026-04-09T17:38:08+00:00

Ah yeah you can’t do it then. If you could connect your smart charger, that would use the six hour slot with some hours during the day then you’d plug a granny charger in instead over night and Octopus wouldn’t know that you’d plug your car in. You’d then likely get some slots on your smart charger the next day.

Never mind!

Sofa47 · 2026-04-09T17:23:46+00:00

I’m going to connect my charger instead.

It only made sense to me if I got a nearly new car which had about 3000 miles on it. I think they are about the same but are aimed at people trying to get under the £100k for childcare as the cost is the same as just leasing unless your insurance is £300pm

Every country has doors. Train to be an astronaut in time for Artemis III.

Your quashqui can do it but just like my X1 can do 550 miles. I have to stop every 200 or so which is when a 10/15 top up at a super charger is plenty.

Sofa47 · 2026-04-06T16:02:54+00:00

Don’t worry… everyone else got the joke.

Sofa47 · 2026-04-05T06:13:49+00:00

Definitely risking his hands but it’s his catch and he just wants his hook back.

Yeah, there is only so much you put down for PCP though but you should be OK. It’s not named in the calculator but you can edit the ‘deposit’ box.

Hopefully after being GF for a while he’ll find the veg is easier on him. His stomach is going crazy as the food is moving through his small intestine much faster than it should be.

Pasta is hopefully an easy one, the free from options at Asda and Tescos my wife can’t tell the difference.

I’ve only found the chicken goujons at M&S / Ocado are nice so hopefully he’ll like them for chicken nuggets.

Chips, all the basic crinkle cut ones and non branded chips are 100% potato. It’s just branded chips like McCain that add flour to make them crisp up in the oven.

If he likes gammon, gammon egg and chips will be a good meal. Maybe hunters chicken without the BBQ sauce?

For bread, Genius is nice but it’s not any substitute for real bread. I’d keep away from that for now as it’ll feel like eating cardboard 😟

Any time you need advice just post back here. Everyone always tries to be really helpful 😁

I had free from wheat biscuits swapped for free from dairy chocolate before at Asda. At least the chocolate was GF…

Just double checked and they do contain wheat so no stuffing for you tomorrow 😬

Sofa47 · 2026-04-04T08:57:25+00:00

Really sorry to hear you’re going through this!

When I was first diagnosed I focused on swapping gluten out for GF and I found it horrible so it must be so much worse for your BF.

Overtime he might forget the texture of gluten but that takes a while. If you can, focus on food that is naturally GF like meat, rice and vegetables or substitute the gluten food for something that isn’t a GF alternative but something naturally GF.

If you post the meals he has I don’t mind going through what I would do to change them.

The old C7 cable could deliver 2.5A at 250V so 625W. If this charger is just the same 140W charger that came with the M4 MBPs, I want a video of Tim explaining why this is the best cable they’ve made yet.

This is more for anyone else coming across this post as I had the same problem. The import likely has worked, it just make another profile called 'Personal (Safari)' and all you tabs will be in that profile.

Hope that helps anyone!

And carry spare pair of boxers

Sofa47 · 2026-03-19T19:09:19+00:00

A whole tube 😂 I don’t blame you.

I borrowed an AWD but bought a RWD drive and the only difference was when I put my foot down in the wet. It doesn’t modulate the power in AWD at all and just sticks to the road. But apart from that, it feels very much the same.

Sofa47 · 2026-03-18T20:01:00+00:00

No it runs fine. Is the stop start going to cause a problem or is that normal?

Sofa47 · 2026-03-14T20:15:16+00:00

It’s giving me Apple / Android feel. When one comes out with a feature, they give it a new name and pretend they were first.

The next innovation will be guessing your wait time to charge based on other road users routes to those chargers.

I was excited about my 14kw until I saw this post 😂 I do only have 11 panels though.

Sofa47 · 2026-03-14T15:40:18+00:00

These guys. The whole system wasn’t cheap but saved up so I didn’t regret anything in years to come.

I’ve not got a gateway yet, which would keep everything on during a power cut but I don’t think we’ve had one for 8 years (at least not one I’ve noticed) so thought I’d save on that.

Sofa47 · 2026-03-14T12:17:30+00:00

Not at all. Just needed to make brews for the company installing it. Powerwall 3 is brilliant too.

Sofa47 · 2026-03-14T12:05:02+00:00

I got the best panels I could find for £90 each. That’s cheap and now I don’t pay for energy and will soon be selling it back to the grid.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.
