I have time of use metering here in Sydney Australia. Our power is extremely expensive. Recently my power retailer introduced special rates for electric vehicles. This means i have the following rate periods:- Peak, shoulder, off-peak, and special off-peak. The app only allows one to specify the peak and off peak periods (the shoulder periods are then assumed to be the remaining time.)
Since the “special off-peak” period is between midnight and 4 am, and otherwise regular off-peak would be between 10pm and 7am, an extra rate needs to be programmed into the app.
The special off-peak is half the price of regular off-peak and pre charging of the powerwall which now occurs to cover the morning shoulder and before sun up, should really occur during this 4 hour window.(I have submitted this request via powerwall support here in Australia, but it doesn’t hurt to publish it everywhere Tesla engineers might see it).
