My home charger will kick on every 30-45 mins through the night for about a minute and then turn off. This is after battery has charged to designated percentage.
First I thought it was sentry mode but I have that disabled at home. Is it possible there’s a constant geofence check in happening to cause it?
Then I thought it was maybe the Stats app. It does so much data collection it seemed possible it was just pinging too often. But they pointed out basic pinging doesn’t initiate wall power draw from the Tesla app which I tested to be true.
Lastly I don’t have a Tesla charger, but a Clipper Creek with adapter from previous EV ownership. Is there something smarter about a Tesla charger ignoring a little bit of phantom draw and not trying to constantly top it off? Is that even a thing or does the car have to make that happen?
One, that relay flipping 20 times a night instead of once can’t be healthy
Two, it’s loud and annoying.
Any thoughts?
