Thanks, must be a mistake then. I'll be switching to an EV later in the year so if a used M3 becomes the best option then I'll be a bit more confident now.

Thanks ๐Ÿ‘ The 271 mile one is ยฃ3,000 cheaper than the 318 mile one (which is 9 months younger) but it didn't make sense that they'd change the battery or something that dramatically after the facelift. I'm just browsing so not an issue, but good to know if there's a variation to avoid

I noticed something that didn't make sense to me on the Tesla pre-owned site, I wonder if you might know: they have a post-Highland facelift RWD with est. range of 271 miles but others are 318 miles and beyond - did they up the range quickly after the relaunch? Seems a big jump. Or an error maybe?

Love the chat; I look forward to checking-out the Future Tech Hub at the Harrogate show ๐Ÿ‘

Today is disappointingly expensive on Agile; 20.58p now, 22p at 19:00 and only dropping down to 17.66p at 22:30.

Previously they'd be in single digits or negative with a storm but seems not aligning right to impact prices this time.

I'd hoped for a little lower overnight, but still good to have a bit of an opportunity to get some cheaper rates tonight

That's fantastic - I've not been there since leaving back in 1995 (30 years ago ๐Ÿ˜ณ) so brilliant to hear they've made this move ๐Ÿ‘

New episodes are currently running weekly on the Spitting Image YouTube channel; the current show is subtitled โ€˜The Rest is Bullshitโ€™.

We were on Agile last year, we regularly vacuumed at 2 am at a zero or even negative electricity rate - is that not normal? ๐Ÿ˜†

Looks like a great event - did you get the chance to record anything for YouTube?

Just seen the same thing; no reason why that would be. Must be a glitch?

What a tremendous video! Love Elliot leading you around like a confused relative ๐Ÿ˜†

Hope this can become a recurring thing where one of the core presenters joins Elliot so he has someone to bounce-off at this show. Seems like this will be the one where the key advances will be at.

My lifetime solar generation passed 14 MWh a mere 36 days after hitting 13 MWh in late Feb!

March was my 3rd best generating month in the two years of my system; beating every month in 2024 & only behind May 23 (by 5 kWh) and June 23.

April continuing nicely!

Incredible to see today that my solar generation for March has surpassed the solar totals for every single month last year! June was the highest in 2024 but these last 30 days of March have passed that total today.

March '25 is my third best generating month since install in Feb '23 ๐Ÿซจ

Looks tremendous, can't wait for this. Amazing cast for this season as well! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Thanks for the show, and for asking about Greg Jackson's call for changing the market, as well as pressing the point on the gas price.

With Mr Brearly stating this is for the government, do you think you could raise this point with them some time? Would be fascinating to hear why they are reluctant

As Jackson explains it Scotland would be the main beneficiary from regional pricing due to their renewables; same with Humberside, etc.

He says no region would get higher prices since now it's the rest who have our prices inflated to the level of the most expensive area; so why isn't this changed?

Satisfying to see the lifetime generation of our solar panels pass 13 MWh today since our installation happened two years ago this month #SolarEnergy

Greg Jackson (CEO of Octopus Energy) has called for a switch to a regional pricing model that would bring energy prices way down for communities near cheaper sources such as wind rather than expensive gas: what is OFGEM's position?

Who/what is standing in the way of following this recommendation?

Wow, it just gets worse. Solar bailed me out for much of the week but no sun of value forecast over the next few days either

Highlight of the film for me was 'On My Own' by Samantha Barks - I hadn't seen the play before seeing the film so most of it was fresh to me, but that performance absolutely wowed me.

I later went to see Frozen at the Theatre Royal entirely to see her live ๐Ÿ˜† She was outstanding that night as well
