Consumption should be achievable - my life time consumption in our 2023 Model Y is 13.2kWh/100k...

A week or so ago, this was one night in NSW (Endeavour Energy). With the previous night we were over $300 up.

That's great Gavin (seriously good). Over on this side, with Amber, we had a nice little power spike last evening resulting in a tidy little earner...

It thought that may be the case. BIG baby though!
Thanks

Love your posts. Any idea what this behaviour is all about?

No, it fizzled. I suspect because the cool change swept in a little earlier than expected, dropping demand. Still charged the car, ran A/C all day and still made ~$8.00 😁

Yes. Pretty much the same thing here in the lower Blue Mountains. Now just waiting for a mini price spike in the wholesale power market to make a few $ this evening 😁

Choice is wrong. In fact the wording of this paragraph implies the writer has done zero research. Not going to post on the place that shall not be named - but if you’re still there, please pass on this message!

Hmm, I was hoping I had just missed something. It just doesn't make sense the way it is.
Even the platform-that-shall-not-be-named got this right!
Thanks Karen.

Is there a setting I'm missing on Bluesky? All I would like is for my feed to start where I left off and to be able to scroll to read newer posts. Instead, my feed starts with the latest post and I have go backwards chronologically.
Anyone have the solution?

Agreed on both counts...

I think he's referring to Tesla Powerwall Storm Watch. When it detects the likelihood of severe storms, it will pre-emptively charge the battery(ies) ahead of a potential power outage.

Agreed! (except that the Shanghai built Tesla's that we get here in Oz are better built! 😎)

But you clearly didn't read that ABC article! It pointed out how LITTLE land solar farms used! And what about the massive uptake of rooftop solar? And all the examples of shared use on agricultural land?

Kiwis are brave enough to ban greyhound racing. Why aren’t we? The NSW government tried to ban greyhound racing, but backed down. Now New Zealand have made the decision.

My column. Fire at will, see if I care.
It's time to shut down greyhound racing, for good.
It's being banned all over the world, but in NSW they are propping it up!
Why are the politicians so weak-kneed on it?
