First you really need to finish the commissioning process! During setup do not select a Vehicle Charging window, for now. Next, if you are using any 3rd party apps remove them. Then go to the “Schedule” screen in the app, under “Departure” make sure everything is off, then check under the...

@JPWhite I think you just learned the hard way to never take your car to a Tesla SC unless you have no other choice. Always take your car to shops that do the work you need day in and day out. For example, Discount Tire rotates tires for free!

I have a “Sight-Line Dashboard Cluster Display (4.5" Rectangular Style)|” from RPM Tesla. The turn signal in the HUD has stopped working, which I have attributed to the latest Tesla update (2024.20.1). Anybody else having similar issues? I know Tesla does not support “3rd party” items, but if...

There are a number of potentials. Please post a screen shot of the app where you see 16A, and also under “schedule” post screen shots of the “Departure” and “Charge” screens. Also, what Tesla adapter are you using e.g. 14-50, 6-50, ??? BTW, if you are using any third party apps, do not use them...

Totally disagree. Never use a Leviton on a EV circuit.

Maybe your WC functions differently, but in the U.S. we can add the WC to the app and easily control it. The only setting we have is to set the allowable charging window. Note it is easy to also turn it off if you really want to charge at peak hours.

It depends on the objective. If the objective is simply to ensure the car only charges during off-peak, then using the setting in the wall connector is the easiest and most reliable method. The SOC then defines the upper limit.

So many posts on this point! For example: Even for LFP charging to 100% is never good for the battery - because in the end it is still a Lithium ion battery. Tesla only recommends charging to 100% because the BMS only accurately predicts SOC and therefore range, when the voltage is maximum. So...

I suggest there is not “right” way since this is a matter of aesthetics. The only potential consideration, that comes to mind, is the “wrong” way could add drag and reduce mileage.

I suggest you have this too complicated. Turn off everything in the Tesla app and only use the settings in the wall connector. This will only allow the car to charge in the off-peak window. If you leave the car set to 80% SOC that is what you will have each morning. BTW, as noted above, if you...

This is an overblown concern, don’t fret about it. This only seems to be an issue for people who do this all the time.

I had a Model S and now I have a Model Y. As I recall the Mercedes C is a “sedan” while the Y is a small SUV. It has a hatch back which is great for carrying things and it can also tow up to 3,500 lbs. And the standard version goes like a bad out of hell! I suggest you grab the wife and kids and...

Did you look online in your Tesla account in the documents section for your car?

That was not a recommendation just a quick example. I have used them for a wheel alignments with no issues. Certainly find a shop you are comfortable with.
