Hey everyone. I've searched everywhere, cannot find anyone else mentioning this specifically. I see others have some issues with charging stopping randomly, with the same symptoms, but not specifically the problem of it only occurring during on-peak times for electricity cost. I have a service request into Tesla as well.
My vehicle will stop charging (Model X) after 5-10 minutes whenever I try to charge during 4pm to 9pm. I have solar and 3 x Powerwalls. I thought it might have to do with the Powerwalls not providing consistent power, so today I tried turning them off to force grid charge. Nope. No difference.
I've also tried playing with every last setting in the app and in the car. Turning on and off scheduled charge, setting leave time for 8pm so it knows I really need to charge NOW (at 5pm when I got home from work when I have to go out again in the evening). No matter what setting I change, it still stops charging. Charging starting at 9pm (what I normally have it scheduled to start at) always works fine, it charges fine overnight and is ready the next day. I precondition ready for 7am, all good too. If we get home at say 12pm or 2pm, it'll charge just fine as well. It's only when the app knows that it's on-peak time for So cal edison from 4pm to 9pm.
That made me also try to completely delete the profile for SCE as well. I tried editing it to say that it electricity was cheap all day. I tried deleting it. I tried changing it to another provider. No matter what I do, the app/software decides it should not charge during this time.
Obviously this is a major issue for me. I've had the car 3 years and it's always done it. It's obviously the most problematic when I've been out all day using it, I get home it's like 20%, so I want it to desperately charge up as much as possible for a few hours before going out again that night.
Basically, I'm resigned to checking the app every 5-10 minutes and waiting for it to stop and start it again. I do not have 'off peak charging' set.
I also have notifications on to tell me when charging is interrupted and I get nothing. I get other notifications about everything else, but it never tells me that.
It's also not anything to do with heat. If I plug in at 1pm in the peak of summer, it'll charge fine. If i go to a supercharger, it'll charge fine (which uses and produces far more heat). It's only home charger, during peak time. It's gotta be a bug to do with trying to 'save the grid' or some s*** in California, or trying to save me money even when I ask it to stop trying to do so.
Any ideas? Anyone else experience this?
