Thx.Depends. If you don’t use any scheduled departure, or schedule charging, then it uses grid. If you do use them, then battery, even if plugged in. I really wish they had an option. It’s probably like that because of CA ToU rate plans. The programmers don’t know a world exists outside CA.
ThxI think it depends on how the charging stopped. If it finished on it's own then grid. If you manually stopped the charging then it would use the battery and not the grid.
When I used schedules of any kind, it does not automatically start charging outside the window. The app will notify about cabin overheat disabled when hitting 20, but will not use the grid at all or charge until the schedule.Thx.
In the same condition, if on extended leave, would it automatically start charging at below 20%?
Thanks again.When I used schedules of any kind, it does not automatically start charging outside the window. The app will notify about cabin overheat disabled when hitting 20, but will not use the grid at all or charge until the schedule.
The car will start to charge when the SoC drops roughly 5% from whatever you set the charge limit to. If you have a charging schedule set, it is only supposed to charge during off-peak rates. But you will have to have set all the rate, time periods and costs.Thanks again.
What would you suggest to do, when I am away for two months without internet connection and no access to the car? Plug it and leave it charging limited to 80%? Once it's full, it will stop, but when the charge goes down, would it start back to charge and at what percentage wouldit start?
I think Tesla changes this behavior all of the time. Last time I tried it would top the pack up about every two hours, less than a percent drop. (When Sentry mode was active.)The car will start to charge when the SoC drops roughly 5% from whatever you set the charge limit to.
Really? Where do you set rates, time periods, and costs that impacts when your vehicle charges? I didn't think Tesla supported that at all. (I certainly haven't found it.)If you have a charging schedule set, it is only supposed to charge during off-peak rates. But you will have to have set all the rate, time periods and costs.
Yes, they've had that for a few years. People can choose either a charging start time or charging end time. The thing that drives people crazy is just how confusing and badly named the options are in the interface. Charge start is clearly labeled of exactly what it does, but setting charge end time is using that messed up confusing naming about "Off peak".Really? Where do you set rates, time periods, and costs that impacts when your vehicle charges? I didn't think Tesla supported that at all. (I certainly haven't found it.)
In the app, you can set the schedule/rates so that it can report how much charging cost you, but it has no impact to when the charging happens.
That isn't what I asked about. The person said you could set Rate, schedules and costs, and that the Tesla would only charge during off-peak times. (Even using the scheduled start time option it will happily charge into a peak rate time period if the charge takes long enough, but it wouldn't really know as you can't set a schedule or rates.)Yes, they've had that for a few years. People can choose either a charging start time or charging end time.
Oh, gotcha. What you said did say this part:That isn't what I asked about.
The costs aren't figured in, but time periods, yes. It sounded like you didn't know you could set times that impact when it charges.Really? Where do you set rates, time periods, and costs that impacts when your vehicle charges?
Actually it does, but in two different placesThat isn't what I asked about. The person said you could set Rate, schedules and costs, and that the Tesla would only charge during off-peak times. (Even using the scheduled start time option it will happily charge into a peak rate time period if the charge takes long enough, but it wouldn't really know as you can't set a schedule or rates.)
As far as I can tell that functionality does not exist.
Thank you so much for your help and attention.The car will start to charge when the SoC drops roughly 5% from whatever you set the charge limit to. If you have a charging schedule set, it is only supposed to charge during off-peak rates. But you will have to have set all the rate, time periods and costs.
It doesn't really matter. The biggest factor is the rate you pay. Many folks have reduced rates at night, so best to charge at night. which you can force, if you set a scheduled departure time.Thank you so much for your help and attention.
What is better for the battery long life:
1. Recharging more often or less?
2. Recharging as soon as you are at 60-70% or wait to drain till 30-40%?
Respectfully.
