I’m not on intelligent, I’m on GO. I’ve never had any problems before. Still not heard back from Tesla.

It’s done the same this morning

Did you change the password "belt and braces"? If not I'd change it before tonight's charge

 

[mick4545]

I did change the password and its charged to 60% overnight. I don’t know if its that or if Tesla has done something remotely, they have not got back to me yet.

how does changing the password help?

Typically the assumption is you've a third party app affecting things. Changing the password blocks 3rd party app from running unless you also change their login credentials to match.

It means anything that may interact with charging that you didn’t know/had forgotten about will be disabled.

If you have any APPs that connect to the car they will (all) become disabled (unable to connect, until the password is reset in each APP).

So if there is anything (e.g. something that you installed as a trial and have since forgotten about, or "another user" / "previous owner" / whatever then changing password guarantees that nothing, unexpected, will connect. You'll need to log back in with your phone APP etc. with the revised password

Its a long shot (as you'd likely know about any such APPs), but rules out that possibility.

Was the 60% the limit of what it could charge within your Off Peak period, or were you expecting it to charge more than that last night?

Seems a suspiciously round number (as was 50% previously) ...

No, it added 11 Kwh during my four hour off peak. (7Kw Tesla). I don’t think I’ve ever used any third party apps.

When you say change the password do you mean WiFi or the account. Sorry if it’s a dumb question.

Tesla account

OK, thanks. Just been on a run and its down to 49%. Will charge to 60% again tonight. I’m fairly confident it will charge as the charge screen came on saying “ Charging will start at 0030.“ its not done that for awhile.
