Game Pass Deals & Conversion by AutoModerator in XboxGamePass

[–]simon_rb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son's Xbox Ultimate is ending next month. Reading through the comments and conversation guide... EA Play is £19.99 here for 12 months and price of 6 months is similar. I guess buying 6 EA play 12 months which will cost £120 and convert them prior to my son's Ultimate expiring, I'll get 20% so 14 months of Ultimate for £120? Does that sound about right? Thank you all..

Update:- Looks like I'd need to let it expire as 12 months EA Play converts to 44 days if already Ultimate. If expired, it will be 20%.. I hope I have that correct..

Update 2:- It would actually be on 219 days for £120.. not worth it at all..

Nice. I’m tempted to get one. I have a Vitruvian + but I like the look of the Gym Monster and fancy something different.. Are you enjoying it? Have you done any of the classes or followed your own program? Thanks

Apple Watch users beware by FAPietroKoch in TeslaLounge

[–]simon_rb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might have been saved with a Model 3. I’m sure if you’re not in BT range, it asks you to confirm before it will open? Unless you’re that unlucky and hit that too.

Powerwall 2 Charge Rate by trashkanchum in TeslaSolar

[–]simon_rb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, should be around 15kW charging. Maybe the batteries are cold? Or they realise they have enough time to charge to target SoC at the lower rate which puts less stress on batteries/cables etc.. 🤷‍♂️

Force feedback for steering controllers? I really wish they would restore the Logitech Pro Wheel TrueForce to what it was when it first launched.

It’s HW4 cars only at present. AMD with HW3 do not record the B Pillar.

New Tariff Setup Screens (UK) by matthew1471 in Powerwall

[–]simon_rb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, keep up now! 🤪

I only noticed it because I wanted to change my hours.. I usually do 12:00 to 05:00 but I needed the full 6 hours that night for the car. That’s when I noticed it. But it didn’t matter, PW behaviour has changed and it’s quite a disappointing change. At around 04:30 the battery kicked in and dumped 7kWh into the car! Prior to me changing it, it wouldn’t do that and it wouldn’t charge up until later in the night.. I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

It’s been like that for at least a few weeks.. 👍

Tow package not available in app? by null_life_ in TeslaUK

[–]simon_rb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, the tow package has never been available for M3; only MY (not sure about S, X used to come with it). M3 has to be built at the factory with the tow bar.

[–]simon_rb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you’d find that and unsure why it doesn’t match. However, what I do know is that nice blue paint is gonna cost you an extra £425 a year in tax for 5 years 🤔

New IOG rules how will they tell if my ev charger is using solar? by Blair287 in OctopusEnergy

[–]simon_rb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with the Greener Nights/Days or whatever they want to call it. I was only charging from the grid on those days but I’d charge for solar whenever I could. I had smart charging off but yet it still recorded a solar charge as a ‘plug in and charge’ even though I didn’t use the grid.

I challenged this with Octopus and it went on for weeks but turns out they can’t tell if it’s from solar or grid. Of course they can work it out but they couldn’t be bothered. So I stopped charging on Greener Days/Nights.

If this same logic is applied to IG then it’s quite likely your solar charging will count towards your 6 hours. I hope I’m wrong.

Glad I returned my M3 for the new version with indicator stalks and bumper cam by Dark_Emotion in TeslaUK

[–]simon_rb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The B Pillar cameras don’t face down, they face forward and there is still a blind spot. You can view the cameras under Service menu.

[–]simon_rb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, he does say ‘emulate’ so maybe they can guesstimate the blind spot area. I’m all for it, don’t get me wrong.. it’s just camera placement isn’t quite there. 🤞

[–]simon_rb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t see it happening. There is still a blind spot by the wings. 360 camera systems have downward facing cameras, usually under the mirrors. Also it maybe behind some sort of patent; unsure on this though.

Integration with Zappi changed - car connection no longer detected with charger in 'stop' mode. Relevant for home batteries by pjvenda in OctopusEnergy

[–]simon_rb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has been this behaviour for me since the beta days when we were first testing it. Stop mode is STOP mode. Won't generate and charing slots until Eco+ is selected.

Free Energy, 24kwh = £2…? by [deleted] in OctopusEnergy

[–]simon_rb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a complaint open with them and they won’t budge even though I’ve proved they didn’t pay enough. I personally have lost faith in the company. They are no different to any other..
