The implementation is just poor. It needs a simple schedule with start AND stop charging times. Every other EV manufacturer can manage that.

I have the same complaint - it should let you put in the hours that ARE peak and then not charge during those hours. I want to be able to get home at 6 pm and plug-in knowing it won't start until off-peak time starts (9 pm, same as you).
Well, today I came home at 2PM (during Peak time), plugged in, and it immediately started charging. It turns out I never hit the "SET" button after setting all my options. So while my fault, it's still a very clunky interface
My Gen 1 Volt allows you to the enter the peak or off periods. Separate entry for weekdays and weekends.There are so many different charging times and rates, that it would be challenging for Tesla to set up a charging scheme that would work in every conceivable circumstance.
These rates and times seem to be changing all the time as well.
Current response is for consumer to learn when his least expensive charging period is and determine when would be the best time to begin charging.
Not wanting to ever be charged more that the cheapest rate is going to take some thought on the part of the owner.
The only disadvantage of scheduled charging start is that the car will sit at a higher SOC for longer periods.
My Question: Is that a significant advantage or not?
An obvious question, but your sure it was "set" in the schedule not just selected? Or if it was today (Saturday)and you might have only weekdays instead of every day selected, I believe that is the default?
Well, today I got home from a trip at 2:45 PM, and it immediately started charging! Aargh.
The scheduled departure is not ready for prime time. I'm going back to scheduled charging.
