"12:00"...? :confused:

From reading the full thread I suppose this is in Europe and they're on the 24-hour clock, which makes this noon, but seems like an odd start time.
There's a long history of electronicky (it's a word now... ;) ) things defaulting to 12 (AM or PM) when they don't know any better (wall power pulled, etc.). At least on the Model S, the 12 isn't blinking.
 
I really want this too. My method isn't that bad but I still have to wake up at 5 after 11pm to set my car to charge.

My current method:

Plug in the car every time it is in my garage. I do this immediately.
Stop charging via touchscreen, or phone app (if not during super off-peak time).
Set daily alarm on phone for 11:03pm. "Charge Car"
Open phone app, press 'start charging' button. Wait to see car is charging.
Go to bed.

Colin, I plugin as soon as I get home but, stop charging (either from the touchscreen or from the mobile app). I start charging again just before I go to bed using the mobile app.

I am too slow.
 
I think i am bit lucky here, i got Blink charger (free) when we purchased nissan leaf 2 years ago. This charger has a timer built in . I am using this timer for late hour charging :) .
when i saw this option 2 years ago , I thought why would anyone need this feature .. Now i know why !

hopefully tesla will release the new firmware for Timer Charging .
