I have an HPWC that was installed and commissioned (by me) for 48A. It has been working flawlessly and consistently for almost five years with my Model 3. I've been able to charge at any rate that I set... until recently. Now it seems to forget my chosen charge rate setting for this location, and consistently resets to 48A every time.
One of the features I like and use a lot is the geo-location-remembered charge rate. I drive to my Mom's, set it at 30A, charge, drive away. The next time I arrive, it defaults to 30A. Awesome! And I do this at home several times per week. At least I did, for many years, but now it will not remember my setting, and will simply always default to the HPWC max setting of 48A.
I choose to charge at 32A while home (the reason for this is not relevant for this discussion. If it interests anybody [it won't] we should start a new thread.)
I plug the car in (delayed until 3AM). I set the desired SOC and I set the charge rate to 32A. I can set these in the car, on my phone's app, on my wife's phone. They all mirror each other no matter where it is set.... they all show the same thing. When when 3AM rolls around, the car charges at 48A. I can unplug, plug back in, and it starts charging at 48A. After some driving, when I plug back into my HPWC, the car again defaults to 48A.
If I set it to 32A (or anything), and start charging immediately, it charges at 32A as expected. When done, and I next try to charge, it resets to 48A. This has been going on for a few months now, and I can't figure out why it will not remember the charge rate, and why it resets to max even after I manually change it.... if I use delayed start.
The one thing I have not yet tried is power-cycling the HPWC. Maybe that will magically fix it (note that I'm not sure if it will work correctly at OTHER locations, since I haven't tried that since this began. Only at home). And yes, I have excellent Wifi and cellular connection where the car is parked in my garage.
Anybody wish to take a stab at this? Poking all around the 'net makes it seem like I'm the only one with this particular (won't remember the setting) issue.
