I've seen an interesting change in behaviour that I hope persists...
As a reminder, I'm on Tesla T.B.C - Cost Saving and have a ToU tariff with a Shoulder period that is only marginally higher than my off-peak. My off-peak is 10pm-7am.
What I had previously been observing is that as soon as I got to 10pm (start of off-peak) my battery would immediately start charging from grid, and charge to some arbitrary amount based on, I assume, what it felt I needed to sustain through the following day's Peak period and allowing for Solar top-up. What I found odd was that it would stop charging from the grid and start discharging in the early hours of the morning, still in the Off-peak period (see first 3 red circled peaks - discharge starts between 3-6am).
Last night, it actually maintained full charge all the way up to 7am when my off-peak ends and shoulder period starts (right-most circled peak). This is the behaviour I would prefer (i.e. don't discharge during off-peak!). To be honest, I'd also prefer it to not discharge during Shoulder, but one step at a time..
Note: ignore 26th and 27th April - that was when I was messing around with removing my Shoulder period from the T.B.C. config to try and force a more desired behaviour.. and failed
