I’ve noticed both of our cars are slow to wake up recently…
I’ve also noticed that in my app I’m getting an animated ‘glowing’ car that I’ve never seen before.
Only way to get a proper picture is to swipe to the other car and back again

Have had similar a couple of random times in the past. I default to logging out of account in Octopus app then logging back in again, a reboot of the car and a reboot of the power line range extenders taking the WiFi out to the car in such connectivity issue circumstances.
Yep, Im getting that on mine as well. I think the latest update done it!
Serves me right for making fun of @PITA

I had a stunning IOG charge overnight from 40% to 41%, but also the update download for the ‘recall’.
I had something vaguely similar last Sunday...car is left plugged in and the Hypervolt scheduled to start charging at 11:00 to take advantage of half-price electricity. This has worked perfectly for ages but last week the charge hadn't started when I checked on it, not 100% sure whether the charger or car at fault but simply opening the Tesla app kicked things into life, so suspect the car was the culprit.
This week the car was already awake and installing the update at 11:00 so don't know whether it would've been OK or not.
There are presently a lot of connectivity issues in the UK. I'm having a ton of problems with the connection just dropping out in locations of strong signal. My understanding of how Tesla tells a car to "wake up" if it's in sleep mode is via a message sent over the cellular connection. If you're having connectivity issues then it won't wake up (even if it's on wifi). I've also experienced the issue OP mentions as well. I'd not be surprised if this is a symptom of the underlying connectivity issues.

If anyone is unclear what this means it basically means they send the car an SMS/text message saying "WAKE UP"

I have several scheduled "Starts" during Off Peak, in case it stops, or doesn't resume after a power cut, or I come home "late" etc.
At work I also have "Alert if less than X%" at various points - based on the %age I need, at that point in the day, to get to "full" by the time I leave. Work chargers periodically trip, so this means if charging has stopped I get an alert with time enough to go and sort it out
Hmm, I held off installing the latest firmware until Friday. I had an io charge planned to start at 10.30 for 2am trip to the airport.
When I went to manually charge my home battery at the same time I noticed the car hadn’t started charging which is unusual for me.
I manually started it and didn’t think any more about it. But now I’ve read this, it does make me wonder if the software update could be connected?

Been in literally 5 minutes so car is still awake but app took several minutes to connect to adjust the charge.

Several hours of scheduled IOG charging didn’t happen overnight here, without any Octopus app notifications about that unusually.

I checked my TeslaFi logs for this period and a few others expecting to find several service unavailable or timeouts. Apart from one timeout in an unrelated period, looks like all API comms were fine and car was awake as expected.
Which adds credence to:
