    Yes, there's also a toggle to switch from scheduled departure to scheduled charging. I'm not near the car or I'd give you more specifics.

    Found the feature, thank you. So what does it actually do, specifically? I set it to start at 9AM. Then plugged it in at 11AM. I would expect it to wait until the following 9AM to start? But it started immediately. Is there a cutoff, like it only waits to start if you plug it in 12 hrs after or more, etc.?

    I believe it's 12 hours, yes.

    Or try to wait a couple of minutes after connecting. It probably stop charging.

    Yeah, good point. The car will always click the charger on when you first connect it if you've got a door open for hvac, etc. The screen will not say charging, though. It's just using shore power rather than battery power. This ignores scheduled charging limits (since it's not charging).

    We typically have our charging start time for around 5:00 or 6:00 am to finish charging right before departure. If we plug in again roughly before noon the car will want to start charging immediately. Right after plugging in you can stop this by tapping the "cancel charge" button on the screen. If you wait too long it becomes a "stop charging" button where the car will stop charging momentarily & then start again. The same is true in the app.
