How to override scheduled charging and charge now?

- Start date
Is that the only way? That risks me forgetting to turn it on when finished. Also what is the purpose of the start charging button in the app?

I don't set schedule in the car. Its set on my charger app. I want the car to charge anytime its plugged in.
You can get into the car and select start charging, it will ask for confirmation. The app doesn't do that as far as I remember.
I get the same result if I hit start charging on the car screen. It doesn't appear to do anything and then says charging stopped.

Never had a problem hitting start charging in the app or screen to make it start immediately. What is your charging setup?
May be it is a model/firmware version related, I just tried it on my MCU and it asks for confirmation.

Do you have, or have you ever at any point had ANY third party app at all that can interact with your car? By third party app, I mean ANY app that is not provided by Tesla itself, and that you logged into using your tesla credentials to do anything with the car.
If you ever used such a thing, even if it was "I tried it and stopped using it" try changing your Tesla password on your account, and then try starting charging again.
I use scheduled charging (3am for my model 3, 4am for my wifes model Y) and have never once had an issue tapping the "start charging" button in the app outside of those times and the car immediately starting charging.
The only times I read about that here, are when people signed up for some app / service that interacts with your car, or the charger, to do "smart charging" or "green charging" or something like that.
I also just tried with the app and also works, but I remembered I have seen it on the app it will start and then stop, it's been a while though.
When I hit start charging in the app, it always starts charging immediately, schedule or no schedule.
That "Start Charging" button exists on both the app and in the charging screen on the touch screen in the car. They both do the same thing. I use them both, and they both should work.
So that is the right method. I'm just not sure why it isn't working for you. I'm going to ask a question that may sound obvious. Since it immediately says "Charging stopped" is it already at the charging limit you have set? If it's at the limit, it will not charge above that, no matter how many times you click the button that says "Start charging". So maybe try moving that limit up, and then see if you can get it to start charging when you push the button.
No, it is well below the charge limit. And I have tried several times, so it isn't a one time glitch. Here is the screen with the start charging button. When I touch the button, nothing happens. But when I exit the car, it shows a big charging screen that says charging stopped.

Did you set specific rules to your charger? Because, that’s what it sounds like you’ve got in place and that’s why the car isn’t able to command a charge.
Remove the rules for the gen3, set rules in your car(s), if you choose to have rules.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! That was it. I didn't remember that the wall connector had that capability. I must have set it while experimenting when I first got it.
I do think that Tesla could give a better error message when this happens.
As far as tesla is concerned, your car wasn’t connected to a powered charger. Everything operating as designed.
I assume this to be if you have renters/customers/members of your world and don’t want to afford them the ability to drink in that sweet sweet Peak Rate, juice.
huh, didn’t know that, thanks.It’s within the tesla app.has been for many months now.
