Because you’re always at the car when you plug in.Why can't we set the charge rate (Amps) from the app? Seems like a simple and useful feature.
I'm not sure if you are serious or joking ;-)I think it's because if there was a software hiccup (or a fumble finger) and an unsafe amperage was set it could cause a fire. It's safer to restrict the amperage setting to the car's controls, which are right there at the location of charging.
No, that's not correct. It's only true if you are using the UMC adapter to plug directly into the corresponding outlet. People who use homemade or third party extension cords and adapters between the UMC adapter and outlet have to manually set the amps down if the circuit is rated for lower amps than the UMC adapter used. Dozens of threads here over the years discussing this in detail. The car doesn't know what circuit it's being plugged into, it sets the amps based on what UMC adapter is present.I'm not sure if you are serious or joking ;-)
I think what the op means is why not have the same interface in the app that is in the car. The car would never let you set an unsafe charge anyway.
Always there when plugging in. NOT always there when initiating charge.Because you’re always at the car when you plug in.
For many reasons I don't charge at full speed, yet would like to bump to full speed remotely when needed.Because I don't care about charging slower?
Hmmm, is my math wrong on this? Wouldn't 48A at 240VAC give you a full 100KWh in 10 hours?I just experienced this again...long weekend and car was down to 40 miles. Even 48A wouldn't have me done in time for work the next day. I had to get in the car and start my charge sooner. Inconvenient, and totally a first world problem!
Yes, but since I don't want my battery sitting at high charge for extra hours (arguably one of the worst things for Li ion), I start charging at 3am. This works out to completion of charging before 6am for me, 90+% of the time. Also has the benefit of warming the battery pack close to departure time for regen use in cold weather. Either way I have to adjust both start time and amperage IN THE CAR.Hmmm, is my math wrong on this? Wouldn't 48A at 240VAC give you a full 100KWh in 10 hours?
I agree all the way around!Sure wish I could tell my Tesla what time to complete charging vs start charging in the Tesla GUI. As long as it would display the calculated start time, I could verify that it was OK with my TOU window with my electric PUC.
