Our @Tesla powerwall 2 hasn't worked properly since June. Despite emails&calls numerous times still not resolved&no one coming back to us. This mornings call was the worst experience with the adviser sighing down the phone&gaslighting us the battery is not meant to charge to 100%

Looks only for mainstream secondary and college education in England. The funding is to support short term solutions that can be put in place immediately. In previous funding rounds, 97% of schools report a positive impact after only 5 months.
