Mystery "gray" charger on nav map

Don't tell your wife about that one time you had to "charge" at your neighbor's house.


But seriously, it's just the places where you've plugged in.

You can delete it by hitting places, chargers, edit and hit the X next to your neighbor's house.

 

This. Just delete the entry from the Visited Chargers tab.

 

I have at least 15 of those mysterious charging locations. One extra about a quarter mile from the service center and 14 within a quarter mile radius of my house. The car apparently gets confused every so often about where it is actually sitting while charging. When the edit function first was added to the firmware, I deleted the dozen or so extra charging locations near my house, but over time they all came back, I decided not to worry about it since I am unlikely to go to the wrong house for a charge. Would be more of an issue if these mystery locations were out of town somewhere and I tried to use them to navigate to a charging location.

 

The GPS is a little off sometimes, and makes these phantom entries.

(Another, unrelated way to notice that the GPS isn't quite 100% accurate is the auto raising of suspension -- I have mine set to raise before entering my driveway but it doesn't always raise at the same spot as I approach)

 

the car notes every place that you've plugged in and it is represented by one of those grey icons

 

I've got those too, I assume it was a time when I plugged in at home but the GPS system was confused as to where I was and it dropped the pin where it thought I was. Just delete them if they bother you.

 

I've found that these "strays" come more often when the car wakes up in the garage to start charging. I assume that the GPS fix is bad on these "cold" starts, inside.

Also, the rate of strays appearing has gone down with newer versions.

 

Good info, thanks for sharing. I haven't seen the visited chargers tab either!

 

If you have a TOU rate and your car often mistaken its location while at home, you should probably be aware that your at-home charge schedule will only work when it thinks it's at home. Might cause unwanted charges immediately after you plug-in.
