Agreed, and that's how ChargeHQ does it, letting you select battery or vehicle priority. Kind of silly Tesla took this approach, hopefully they fix it in a future update by adding a priority option. I have no use for it the way it works now.
It only works with one EV at a time. First one plugged in gets charged, then the next. Not multiple EVs at once.Lol what does the Tesla app look like if you have two teslas charging at the same time??
Can I use Charge on Solar for multiple vehicles at the same site?
Yes. If you charge more than one Tesla vehicle at a time using Charge on Solar, the first vehicle to plug in will receive all the excess solar energy until it reaches the charge limit you’ve set. Once that limit is reached, the excess solar energy will be sent to the second vehicle.
Just like only one gateway at a timeIt only works with one EV at a time. First one plugged in gets charged, then the next. Not multiple EVs at once.
Was thinking about this in my run, compared to what I do.The only things that comes to mind as to why they might have set this up this way (with no corroboration whatsoever, just throwing crap at the wall).
1. An over estimation of what most people with powerwalls / storage actually want, thinking that people are installing this stuff more because they want "clean energy" than because of resiliency.
2. Internal Tesla environmental goals on carbon footprint offset, etc, that we are not privy to
Use a HA app to change you reserve to force charging first.There really needs to be an "Excess Solar" setting that only charges the car after the PW batteries are full. My definition of "Excess Solar" is energy that would otherwise be exported to the grid, if not for the feature redirecting it to the car.
This. For those wanting to fill the PW before dumping excess into the car (to avoid exporting at the cheap price that the utility wants to pay), I think someone suggested raising the PW reserve threshold to ensure the PW gets charged up before the car. The problem is that when the PW is below the reserve, solar goes to the PW only, and is not used for the house power demand. The house is powered from utility/grid power until the PW is at the reserve threshold. In this case, grid power is totally unnecessary when we were attempting to address excess solar. Also, with a high reserve threshold, the PW will never fall below the reserve threshold under normal circumstances anyway, using utility/grid power for any house demand.There really needs to be an "Excess Solar" setting that only charges the car after the PW batteries are full.

From what I’m seeing with the current software versions, the car never sleeps while it’s “waiting for solar”. So if you arrive home after the sun has set and you plug in the car, it stays awake all night waiting for the sun to rise.
I’m keeping the feature disabled until they fix this.
I agree, it does seem weird. Unless I’m missing something obvious, that’s how it works currently. I did the usual vehicle reboot to see if it would resolve it, but no luck.That is so weird... so the new API forces the car to be on constantly? I don't understand why that is the case considering normal scheduled charging doesn't require the vehicle to be "awake".
Especially odd since ChargeHQ has figured it out. You'd think Tesla would be able to make it work correctly. Of course, ChargeHQ also lets you set EV vs PW priority...From what I’m seeing with the current software versions, the car never sleeps while it’s “waiting for solar”.

Such BS that this is not made available to pre-refresh S and X.
I just had this feature activated and can confirm that during a night with charge on solar enabled, my soc didn't change at all. So maybe it has the sunset/sunrise times loaded from the cloud? Surely Tesla is smart enough to know not to keep the car awake during nighttime hours. Not sure about daylight hours though, that'll be ongoing testing.I agree, it does seem weird.

Maybe someone else with the feature enabled can report back as to whether or not their car ever sleeps while waiting for solar?
Your car needs to be on 2023.26.x or greater.Im so confused..
ok myp version : 2023.20.9
powerwall gateway 23.12.11
powerwall gateway 21.24.2
help please
I’m still waiting on the final Y. Because I tried out FSD for one month (now deactivating) I think it’s gonna take a while to get that there.Got 2023.26.7 yesterday.
