FYI Ryan, OVO Energy and AGL EV plans are better at 8c overnight. Why? Simply Energy EV plan is 6c ‘discount’, so 6c off your normal overnight rate. It’s worded in a somewhat misleading way, sadly.
Oh wow, I just checked this after seeing your comment and it appears you are correct !! 😱 I've just contacted them to confirm what my rates are. I may be changing providers now 😂 Thanks so much for letting me know.
@@RyanCowan no worries at all Ryan! I know because I’m as on this EV plan for the last year and just switched :) Make sure you use a referral code for OVO.
agree! Also I did an analysis on AGL vs OVO since my peak rate is much higher with OVO than AGL. OVO came out to be $8 cheaper still due to higher FIT rate. (28day period analysis)
@@normdouglas I calculated my usage from the last 12 months and the OVO rates worked out better than the new updated Simply rates and a little higher than the old Simply rates. I have solar so that’ll help with day usage.
Hey Ryan. A thought on home charger install. Talk to the landlord and see if ok to help with cost of install of a 32amp pin style,single phase I assume, outlet(it’s handy for many uses not just a home charger. That way you can save some $$$ on install as normally cheaper than a ev charger install, and landlord might meet you half way or all of the cost. Then can buy a 32amp pin tail for the UMC (which is handy to have anyway for road trips) and plug in that way for around 7kw via UMC. That way keep wall charger for where you end up.
Long time listener first time caller - I believe the simply energy plan is a 6c “discount” - we were on it and moved to OVO when we found that out. Love the vids!
haha the first sentence made me laugh 😂 Thanks for the comment mate ! And yes, it appears you are correct ! Which sucks 🤦♂️ Might have to change providers again now haha
I recently switched from simply to ovo energy, their super off peak rate is 10c, overall very competitive rates after the recent rates hike from Simply energy @@RyanCowan
@RyanCowan Well then, do a rapid charge to cover the trip and daily top ups to cover the daily drive. Ezi pezi ?? Most vehicles are parked 23hrs a day, yes .
Very interesting Ryan! Amazing video as always! Grand parents are overseas atm, but once they get back its all Tesla. I would have advised them buying enhanced or fsd, but lately I've been thinking to leave it off. It will be a huge transition, as well as a lot of money. I think the go is to leave it for some time, before possibly buying the new monthly subscription to give it a go. They will definitely have to get premium connectivity.
My wife got her Model Y long range 4 days ago I’ve driven it once loved it the it’s got the full self driving my Model X plaid isn’t here till end of September
Loved the little Vlog, if you ask me there’s there’s still not much improvement except for in parallel parking where it seems to be a lot more confident. How’s being content full-time going?
Totally agree, hopefully big improvements to Auto Park coming soon. Full-time has been good, and also challenging. Trying to apply a bit more strategy to the way I work moving forward, for example focusing on bigger / more exciting videos, rather than small ones (like this vlog). If I can do 1 video a month that gets a heap more views that will mean better revenue. Also need to make the time to work with sponsors and brands. It feels like a balancing act 😂 and then there's tiktok !
@@RyanCowan glad to hear that your enjoying it and figuring things out. Are you looking at tiktok as a bigger place to grow than TH-cam? Because obviously TH-cam will offer more revenue but will also require more work for a longer structured video. Although it’s great you can post the same video as a short and a TikTok and a reel which can make it easier. Focusing on strategy is hard also for TH-cam long form finding a hook and what will make the viewer want to watch until the end of the video. Like you do with the (coming up) at the start of the videos which I think is a great idea giving the viewer a preview of why they should continue watching the video. Anyways glad to hear your enjoying it keep up the good work 🔋
Dude you summed it up perfectly !! haha literally all my thoughts right now. I really wish we had creator fund for tiktok in Australia, that would change things ! But yeah seeing as most of the money comes from TH-cam (even though long form requires much more creative effort and editing) I'm just now trying to plan out video ideas that are more engaging-and thinking of thumbnail and title first, exactly like you said "why would someone click on this and what will keep them watching"@@techreview8661
@@RyanCowan yeah and I think you’re doing a really good job at your thumbnails at the moment and getting there with the hook at the start of the video and why people are going to watch the end. I know you have heaps of followers on TikTok But it’s really not helping with revenue like TH-cam is. Anyways, keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got next
@@RyanCowan not sure which part of the settings I would go in to, to turn it ON. I figured it would be turned ON by default. I’ve never seen any Autopark or Summon related toggles within settings.
That sucks ! Must be disabled locally for anyone in Canada, which seems very odd. If I was you, I'd be asking your local Tesla service centre.@@chinuchrispaull6264
Love the fresh produce guys. You'll be able to be off grid when you build on your property and grow it yourself too. Wish we could have a choice of energy providers up here in central qld.

Thanks mate ! Hopefully start building very soon ☺ We honestly can't wait to grow our own fruit and veg one day ! .. And yeah the Auto Park is way behind, hopefully it'll get updated by end of year. Thanks for always watching and commenting mate, means a lot !
@@RyanCowan agree, only a matter of time and it will be way better. Like the sensors and phantom breaking was bad for a while then got better. Always a pleasure to watch and support you and Paige brother! Love your channel.
Thanks mate, I have just realised you're correct ! Someone else commented as well. It's a little bit misleading with the way it's mentioned on the website. I might have to change energy plans again now 😂
@@RyanCowanOVO is offering 8c/kWh. The peak hour rate is higher than non-EV plan though. For people who have solar battery, that would be the best deal by configuring the battery to suck up the power overnight and discharge during daytime.
If you tried that reverse park in Perth. Some bogan in a ranger would probably have driven over the frunk. If it’s not in in 3 seconds or less you’re dead 😂😂
Gotta say, just like you guys, I’m not impressed with Enhanced Autopilot. Although the technology seems great, it’s missing the mark. Hopefully it’ll improve overtime
Great vid guys! 👍 Yeah, I had AAP last December when Tesla gave it to us for a Christmas present 🎁 I tried summons and parking and wasn’t impressed. So slow and awkward! Like a learner driver. No way I’d pay for it. Or FSD for that matter.
I'm in Coffs Harbour, not UK. Don't have any credits yet but when I do I will hold them till the software improves. Keeping an eye on your channel for updates...@@RyanCowan
Yes, Tesla's autopark is one of the worst. Tesla should do better than this. Its almost as if no effort is being put into it due to development of FSD.
Oh dear me, here comes Elon space time continuum again "End of the year?". The irony is not lost on millions of tesla drivers that FSD 12 has hit prime time but parking between two white lines or wiping water of the windscreen - hell no, too complicated. The mind has stopped boggling in a discombobulated manner.
Wow the auto park is complete utter shit, fascinating for a product that supposedly has good software...cheaper car models will auto park in 3 seconds, it's a simple car feature nowadays, I'm not buying this if that's how it works now
Autopark should hopefully get better this year, but if you get a chance to test drive a Tesla. you'll see how amazing the rest of the software is. Best car we've ever owned

How much do you recharge over the 6 hours ?
Daily top up for daily drives should work ???
Normally does 20% within the 6hrs. Daily top up normally works, however we do go up and back to Melbourne sometimes.
@RyanCowan
Well then, do a rapid charge to cover the trip and daily top ups to cover the daily drive. Ezi pezi ??

Overall, do you think EAP is worth the extra $5k?
No, not yet. But I believe it will be soon once they improve Autopark and Summon
Have the same issue with sentry mode often recording me returning to the car. What can I say, the camera loves me. 😜
😂 Hopefully Tesla can fix this in an update.
Surely, the face recognition works ????????
Does auto park come with the car or do you have to pay the $6,000 for it?
Have to pay for it !
I just let them wait and let Beth (my model 3) do her thing
Nice ! So you use AutoPark often? Any suggestions for having more success?
@@RyanCowan I think if you give it a good position its quicker but I like the idea of making it as hard as possible for her
My MYLR (Canada) has EAP but Summon & Autopark are disabled/not available. How do you have it or is it just available in Aus?

Have you always had EAP?
Nope, just used referral credits to get it last week. Just being a bit slack about editing that video. 🤣
Instead of installing a wall charger at your rental, install a 15A socket which is 3.3kW to 3.6kW and cheaper.
Thanks ! Good suggestion !
When did you get the EAP package? I thought last year Christmas you said you won't be getting it. What changed?
I got it a 2 weeks ago using Tesla referral points ! 🙌
@tony.baloney but auto park is crap though
renters and ev charging is still an issue
Hey Ryan, has your referral code maxed out? Tried to use it on the weekend and it wigged out 😢

Reverse parking is already simple as
lol true !
i think auto park still needs alot of work its sort of embarrassing lol
I also am not a fan of the lane changing…
That auto parking is disappointing
Very. Should get better soon hopefully !
Not the best parking
it needs more intelligence. but they'll keep at it
Renting > nah.
I’m over the fandom features……..way over hyped.
Yes, Tesla's autopark is one of the worst. Tesla should do better than this. Its almost as if no effort is being put into it due to development of FSD.
