With my ChargePoint, to pull it out, I just push the button to disengage, but I don’t pull it out of the port. After about a second, the car unlocks the port and I can pull the adapter out with the ChargePoint.

O, that's a good Idea! I will start doing that from now.With my ChargePoint, to pull it out, I just push the button to disengage, but I don’t pull it out of the port. After about a second, the car unlocks the port and I can pull the adapter out with the ChargePoint.
Yes, I do. No it doesn't fit. I have a hook next to the charger and just hang the whole thing there. Also, it's definitely more troublesome when you try to unplug it from the car since you can't just push a button on the handle to unlock it. What I do is I release the Chargepoint charger from the adapter while it's still hooked to the car. After it's detached, the car will unlock the adapter then you can take it off and plug it back to the Chargepoint charger. I then hang it on the hook. You can always unlock it with your phone, or if you have a key fob you can hold the trunk button for a couple second to unlock it also.
Thanks.O, that's a good Idea! I will start doing that from now.
There is a more handy technique for this so that you don't have to mess around with any touch screens in the car or on a phone. You are already putting your hand on the J1772 handle. When you are pressing and HOLDing the release button, it keeps that unlock signal going into the car, and it will KEEP the port unlatched. Then, use your other hand to grab the adapter, and pull them both out together, as one piece.
It's hard to explain in words, so here is a video of the technique.
LOL That's not me in the video. It's just a video from Youtube. However, you're right that I discovered later in another thread that when I went searching for the video I meant to find, I accidentally got the wrong one here, without watching through to make sure it was the right one, and this ain't it. I watched the first few seconds, and thought I recognized it, but got it wrong.Pull them both out together? That's not what you did.
Well, "better" is not just one thing. Better for what purposes?I know this is an old thread but I just got my Home flex and I was wondering if it's better to have a schedule on the charger or on the MY?
Try both, see which one work best for your needs. The Tesla Scheduled Charging option has to be set from inside the Tesla vehicle. You can set Tesla's Scheduled Charging option to either start as soon as the assumed off peak charging window starts or to always complete charging by the end of the charging window. You don't have the option of setting a different charging schedule for weekdays and weekend charging. You can set a separate schedule for weekdays and weekends for Scheduled Departure. (Scheduled Departure is also set under the Charging screen from inside the Tesla vehicle. Scheduled Departure will precondition the Tesla vehicle starting about 20 to 30 minutes before your departure time. This will warm the battery pack as needed in cold temperatures, turn on the seat heaters and warm the passenger cabin. You can use Scheduled Departure even if you don't plug in the Tesla vehicle or don't set Scheduled Charging in the Tesla settings.I know this is an old thread but I just got my Home flex and I was wondering if it's better to have a schedule on the charger or on the MY?
You can prevent the Tesla from entering sleep mode if you leave sentry mode active at your home location. Also, if your scheduled charging requirements are straight forward, i.e. Start charging at 01:15 A.M. every day, the Tesla Scheduled Charging feature, by itself, has you covered.Well that was a fail woke up to a uncharged car? Tesla said charges stopped and no messes from the charger. Not sure what happened.
So I will try setting my Home Flex to start at 1:00 am and I set the Tesla to start at 1:15 am. I’ll see how that goes.
Yeah, I was thinking that may not have been a good idea trying to use both at the same time. It's like people who think they will be better off if they get insurance on something from two different companies, thinking they will be double covered. Instead, they just argue with each other about who is the primary or secondary insurance, and nothing gets covered.Well that was a fail woke up to a uncharged car?

So from what you are telling me is I should leave my Home Flex always on and put the Tesla schedule to start at 1:00amYeah, I was thinking that may not have been a good idea trying to use both at the same time.

Yes.So from what you are telling me is I should leave my Home Flex always on and put the Tesla schedule to start at 1:00am
Yes, much more simple and foolproof and more likely to work that way.So from what you are telling me is I should leave my Home Flex always on and put the Tesla schedule to start at 1:00am
Perfect I will do that. Thank youYes, much more simple and foolproof and more likely to work that way.
