    Where is the “export everything” setting to be found? I can’t see it in the app. Does it have to be enabled by the installer in the Tesla One app? In “advanced option” Ihave permission to export enabled but there is no other option.

    Should be in the Tesla app Powerwall settings, a little below the Operational Mode in a section called Energy Exports.

    Also check 'My Home Info' in the Tesla app and see what it has at the bottom of the page for your export limit…

    I didn't receive an email about yesterday's savings session, so I assumed it wasn't my area, but when I logged into my Octopus app it says I didn't take part (because I didn't know anything about it!) ☹️

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Hi, thanks. There is nothing about Energy Exports on my app below Operational Mode. There is no export limit specified (presumably because I have DNO approval to export to the full potential of the PW3 -11.04 kW.)

    It’s a couple of years ago since I had my PW2 fitted but I had to email to get those settings activated in the app. I’ve just checked my emails and back then I emailed EnergySupportEmea@tesla.com asking for advanced settings options to be activated. They replied 2 days later.

    Your export limit should be set to the maximum approved by the DNO even if that is the maximum you could possibly export…

    Or we've moved to a cheaper fix with BG (yes, BG!) and half price electricity between 11am and 4pm every Sunday, which requires no opting in every time, just the habit of scheduling the dishwasher and/or washing machine to run between those hours. Less effort and saves more than I could earn in Octopoints. 😉
