Are you considering purchasing a Tesla in the UK? Now might be the perfect time to make your move.

Tesla has just relaunched its ‘Refer and Earn’ program in the United Kingdom, offering new buyers a substantial £1000 discount on their purchase. People referring get £500 Tesla shop credit.

The discount also applies to US customers and the same referral code can be used. Model S, 3, X and Y are all eligible for the discount.

This article will guide you through everything you need to know about this offer and how you can take advantage of it.

The £1000 Tesla discount: What you need to know

Tesla’s new referral program is straightforward: use a referral code from an existing Tesla owner when you purchase your new Tesla, and you’ll receive a £1000 discount off the purchase price. It’s that simple. This discount applies to any new Tesla vehicle orders.

You can simply click the button below when booking a test drive or before placing your purchase and the £1000 discount should be applied at checkout.

Additional savings: 0% APR financing

To sweeten the deal even further, Tesla is currently offering a 0% APR financing deal in the UK. This offer includes:

• 0% Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
• Zero down payment on Hire Purchase plans

Combined with the £1000 referral discount, this financing option creates an incredibly attractive package for potential Tesla buyers in the UK.

Why Now is the time to buy a Tesla in the UK

1. Immediate Savings: The £1000 discount is applied directly to your purchase price, providing immediate savings.

2. Favorable Financing: With the 0% APR offer, you can spread the cost of your Tesla without incurring interest charges.

3. Long-term Savings: Don’t forget the potential savings on fuel and maintenance costs associated with electric vehicles.

4. Environmental Impact: By choosing a Tesla, you’re contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and supporting sustainable transport.

5. Future-Proofing: As the UK pushes towards greener transportation, owning an electric vehicle may provide additional benefits in the future, such as exemptions from certain urban driving charges.

Maximising your Tesla purchase

To get the most out of your Tesla purchase, consider these tips:

1. Research Models: Explore the different Tesla models to find the one that best fits your needs and budget.

2. Calculate Total Savings: Factor in the £1000 discount, potential financing savings, and long-term savings on fuel and maintenance.

3. Check Charging Options: Research charging infrastructure in your area and consider home charging solutions.

4. Test Drive: If possible, schedule a test drive to experience Tesla’s performance firsthand.

5. Act Quickly: While there’s no announced end date for this program, such offers don’t last forever. If you’re seriously considering a Tesla, now might be the time to act.

Conclusion

Tesla’s new referral program in the UK offers a compelling opportunity for potential buyers. The £1000 discount, combined with the current 0% APR financing offer, makes this an optimal time to consider purchasing a Tesla.

Don’t miss out on this chance to join the electric revolution and drive home in your new Tesla – with an extra £1000 in your pocket.

Disclaimer: We do get £500 Tesla shop credit for each referral, up to a maximum of 10 referrals. After that, the referral code cannot be used anymore.

A new chapter for Wonder Watt: Introducing our subscription model

Over the last year and a half, Wonder Watt has been a true labour of love. What started as a vision to offer an innovative and easy-to-use solar battery management service has blossomed into a thriving platform, thanks to the incredible support from all of you, our loyal users.

We have grown together, and your feedback in our forums has shaped Wonder Watt into what it is today. Every comment, suggestion, and experience you’ve shared has really helped us to improve.

However, as our community and user-base has grown, so have the costs associated with running the platform. Maintaining the high level of support and continuously developing new features requires significant resources.

After much thought, we’ve decided that in order to keep Wonder Watt sustainable and growing, we’ll be moving to a subscription model starting from October 2024.

What does this mean for you?

Beginning October, users will be asked to subscribe to Wonder Watt for ongoing access to our platform at a price of £6 per month. To make the transition smoother and to show our appreciation, we are offering some benefits:

• Early Supporter Discount: If you’ve been with us from the start, you’ll receive an 11% discount, bringing your monthly subscription down to £5.33.
• Pre-October Registrants: Anyone who registers before the 1st of October will also qualify for this £5.33 discounted rate.

Why are we doing this?

We’ve been able to offer Wonder Watt for free up until now, but as we continue to expand our services, improve our infrastructure, and launch new features, it’s simply no longer feasible to cover all the rising costs ourselves.

Moving to a subscription model ensures that we can keep providing the best possible service without sacrificing quality. This will also enable us to keep building new tools and features for you - whether it’s enhanced energy tracking, more inverter and tariff integrations, or more autonomous schedules to help you save.

How will payments work?

To minimise processing and admin fees with our payment provider, we will be taking payments on a 3-month advance basis, which helps reduce costs and allows us to keep our subscription prices lower.

This means you will be billed £17.99 for 3 months at the full price, or £15.99 for 3 months if you qualify for the discounted rate. Equivalent pricing in USD will be available for anyone outside the UK.

Can new users try the service out first?

Starting in October 2024, new users will have access to a 10-day free trial—no payment details required. You’ll be able to explore our features and see how Wonder Watt works for you.

If you’re happy with what you experience, you can start a subscription when your trial ends.

Thank you for your support

We can’t express enough gratitude for the encouragement, feedback, and patience you’ve shown us over the past year and a half.

Rest assured, our level of support will remain as strong as ever. The shift to a subscription model allows us to keep delivering top-notch service while continuing to innovate and enhance the Wonder Watt experience.

We’re excited for this next chapter, and we hope you’ll join us as we continue to evolve. Thank you for being part of the Wonder Watt community — it’s been a remarkable journey, and there’s so much more ahead.

On the back of our work on Agile Octopus integration, our next development is focusing on integration of smart plugs that can automatically take advantage of Agile Octopus’ low tariff prices that can vary each 30-min slot.

As this effort gets underway, we are keen to gauge people’s interest in Agile Octopus combined with smart plugs and dynamic schedules, and have created a Google form waiting list for anyone who would like to get an invite when we launch this.

Invites will become available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Please follow the link below to the Google form, register your interest and be the first to try this out when we launch!

When we launched our restructured and simplified multiple schedules feature at the end of last year, we mentioned that we were hard at work to develop support for Agile Octopus integration.

Agile Octopus is one of Octopus Energy’s smart and innovative tariffs, offering customers electricity prices that change every half an hour, based on the wholesale price of energy.

Over the past two weeks, we have run a beta with a small group of around 25 users on Agile Octopus. Thanks to them, we’re happy to officially announce that Agile Octopus integration is now available for all users.

This means that if you have a Growatt or GivEnergy inverter, you can configure your charging window for Agile Octopus and Wonder Watt will pick the cheapest slots for you, saving you the hassle to have to set up schedules on often clunky inverter software.

To try our Agile Octopus automation out for yourself, and see what it’s all about, click the button below.

Like with our regular charge and discharge schedules, Agile Octopus is supported on the same inverter hardware, which includes GivEnergy gen 1 & gen 2 inverters.
