This is my only issue with CoS, I'm set on time-based control with TOU EV2A plan and set my sell price 3c less than buy. For some reason the system still prioritizes charging the car over charging powerwall. I would like it the other way around! The only way I can do that is change the powerwall backup reserve to 100%. It would be nice to have the option in Tesla app that ChargeHQ has for setting priority.

Charge By Solar Not Showing

Strange, mine just changed to the same message and is prioritizing charging powerwall over charging the car which is awesome! Maybe the algorithm is adapting slowly?? Hope it stays this way.
Yes, maybe due to a cloudy today mine keeps alternating from using excess solar for charging the car then stopping the car charging and start using excess solar to charge my powerwalls. Alternating doing this three times so far. Probably not the best for the wall connector but it does seem my powerwalls will be fully charged by 3:00pm right in time for partial peak rates.

Same thing here. Even with advanced betas selected I'm stuck at 2023.7.20, and don't see any logical reason why. There's got to be some algorithm selecting who gets the latest betas - possibly depending on the number of edge cases you report?
Sorry for any confusion. Those two screens were Tesla app w/ CoS, yes. But there’s no setting in the app to prioritize. The app simply informed me it was prioritizing PW over EV. I had no control.
ChargeHQ, which I’m running in parallel, does allow you to set PW or EV priority.
I have yet to see any extra screen like that with CoS. I wonder if .11 is needed? I am trying to get
I keep having the option coming and going. When I went to play with it yesterday, it was gone again
Just looked again, still gone. No idea why it comes and goes
I’m definitely having similar issues, where the … sub menu disappears from the app. Then it seems like I need to re-enroll the EV for CoS. Happened on both of my Y’s with 2023.26.7.
Also, noticed this AM one of the Y’s did not charge to its scheduled departure minimum. Said waiting for Solar. Now it is charging on extra solar, but still not at the minimum daily drive from any source.

I have given up on the app. Just plugging in when I am home and needing to charge is much more KISS
Not necessarily relevant to any ongoing discussions, but ran across something that might be interesting.
I have a portable battery so I charged the car off that for a bit. Looks like the car identifies CoS purely by its location. The app was very confused about where this mysterious power was coming from, saying at first that it was solar (9pm) but then deciding it was from the power wall.
Like I said, not super relevant but if there's anyone out there who charges their car using an off-grid battery, just know CoS will now import those "non Tesla" power sources and potentially mess up your stats. If you care about that.

wow.. i dont know whats going on..lol ok got it to charge on solar after the powerwalls were full (thats what i want) then it started charging car on the car screen it showed it was charging but on the home energy gatewaysa it didnt show anything going to the car just 0 kw but after all day the car did go up a little ( from 56 to 60kW) now it shows on the energy gatewaysa page that 1.0 kW is going to the car.. any ideas on whats going on..
That's interesting but not surprising. I find the stats aren't all that great anyh
I suspect it's just just sampling/rounding artifacts from different moments in time when viewing data in car vs what the gateway monitor / phone app reports.
