Set a start time at 9 PM. If you don't get home and plug in until 11:45 PM, that's fine. It'll still go. It watches for up to 6 hours after the scheduled start time.I work crazy hours and dont have a consistent schedule. Peak hours are 4-9pm. How do I program not to charge during these times?
In the solar section of the app there is full control of TOU scheduling so the system knows when to store from solar and when to use it. So, all they would have to do is copy that to the vehicle section of the app. For solar users the vehicle should refer to the existing solar TOU schedule but it doesn't.Yeah, I don't know why it's so complex. What most of us want is "Charge any time it's off peak. Don't charge at any peak time unless we manually command it." That's it. It just needs to know the hours (which frankly it should be able to have a database of, or if not, one Tesla owner can enter the times per power company and they can build the database.)
The idea of saying when I want the car ready is only useful for people with regular commutes. I guess it's handy for them.
There are other apps you can use to control your charging though.
If you're serious about modifying the wall connector, don't interrupt the AC power, instead have your relay interrupt the control pilot signal to the car. That will work much more neatly, and you won't have to switch 50a of power.Something Like that. I’m not an electrical engineer but I know equipment I use at work that has all types of 12 or 24 volt relays and contactors that control 480v 3phase pumps and motors so it should be a similar application.
I came here looking for information on this and it seems the app hasn’t changed in 3 years and is still like thisI'd like to take advantage of off-peak hours for charging, obviously. But...
It feels like you should have facility for telling the car when off-peak hours are, and then if you say a specific departure time is needed, it should do the work for you.
- In the settings, there is only one time that you can set; for when the off-peak hours end. But there is no setting for when they start? How does it know when to start charging?
- If you aren't going to leave until 2 hours after peak hours begin, there doesn't seem to be way to charge most of the way during off-hours, but have it continue to trickle charge or keep the battery warm so you can be ready to go.
What are your off peak hours? What amperage are you charging at? Knowing these can help determine if there is a possibility it will take longer than your off peak window to charge.I came here looking for information on this and it seems the app hasn’t changed in 3 years and is still like this
Seems the only way I can know for sure it won’t charge during my peak hrs is to manually set my charge limit to where I know it won’t be charging when peak hrs start, wish I could just a window of time that it wouldn’t charge or start charging
Right now it’s 6 to 9 AM during this season and I’m on a slow charger atm so a lot of times my 80% charge won’t finish until 7-8, it’s also not good for using extra energy to precondition the car in the morning because it’s right in the middle of my peak hrs so pre heating the car while plugged up is useless to meWhat are your off peak hours?

As others have mentioned, there are other options like teslafi or EV.charge that you can use to set specific time windows where your car will charge.
The 1% decrease is likely due to temperature changes. The “charging” is because it’s pulling from the house to precondition while it’s plugged in. There’s no way to stop that unless you unplug it or do not precondition.My off peak hours end at 7am. I set the off peak to end at 7am and departure time to 8am. My car charges to the set limit by about 630am. But then I notice I lose about 1% charge and it charges again just before 8am for about 15-20mins.
Frustrating as the electrify price is triple during that time slot.
By slow charger you mean the mobile connector with 120V plug? And your off peak is only 3 hours?Right now it’s 6 to 9 AM during this season and I’m on a slow charger atm so a lot of times my 80% charge won’t finish until 7-8, it’s also not good for using extra energy to precondition the car in the morning because it’s right in the middle of my peak hrs so pre heating the car while plugged up is useless to me
Once April gets here my peak hours will be 4 to 7 PM and it won’t matter then

If you are using a typical household 120V outlet to charge, why don’t you just get a timer that is designed to handle 15A continuous (typically designed for window AC units)? Set it for your off peak window and it will only provide power to the charger during that window.
