What about existing users that enabled this, is it still enabled for them or has it been turned off for all existing customers as well?

It's got the equivalent of an RCD Type B built in. You still need a normal cheap RCD though.

Good idea! There are ways around it if they don’t but I can’t think how they would block it?

Yea a little steep indeed. Some deals that are on here are $0, with ~$9 postage!

It’s on top. It uses smarts to start charging your Tesla to your chosen % by the time it’s 6am.
