How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: This is a control logic issue, not an electrical fault.

Review vehicle schedule: Check the car's charging schedule and disable it temporarily to test immediate charging.
Check app schedules: In the Tesla app, ensure no conflicting schedules or off‑peak settings are preventing charging.
External controls: If integrated with a utility demand response or home energy system, verify its schedule and override settings.
Test manual start: Attempt to start charging manually from the vehicle or app to confirm hardware is functioning.

Vehicle will not start charging at scheduled times, though manual plug‑in sometimes works
