Charged just because

Arth3r911 | 2026-03-07 14:32 | 13 views

So my car has been on schedule from 1am-6am since I can’t remembered. Noticed yesterday I rolled into the house from the last trip of the day at around 7pm. Plugged and left it. Around 10pm got a notification that the charge has been completed. WTH? I say to myself. Looked at the app and everything is just how is suppose to be. Why did my car just decided to charge on its own?

I can't help except to say that my car stayed charging to 82% instead of 80% recently without me changing anything. It did it again after I tried resetting it to 80.

I seen post like this also. I think it has to do something about the batteries reading it just goes off sometimes.

It randomly ignores the schedule sometimes, no idea why.  I ended up putting the schedule on the wall connector instead of the car (although yesterday for the first time it ignored that schedule too and pre-conditioned using mains power outside of the allowed time window, which was strange.)

Mine does that on occasion. Maybe a weather change and it thinks it's cooler than it was when the charging started?

Strange, mine did this last night too. First time I’ve ever seen this.

Did you check to see that the schedule was still turned on after you noticed that your car was charged early? I've had updates in the application turn off my schedules.

First thing I did when I got the notification that charge was completed. It was still on. So weird.

Arth3r911 2026-03-07 17:03

I got ya. Still shouldn’t do that.

Arth3r911 2026-03-07 17:05

These damn bugs man. SMH

Ours did that. Check that the cabin overheat protection isn’t on. My husband had overheat protection on and the windows open… he was air conditioning our entire garage 🙃

Ffs, you SAW.

Mine did that yesterday too! Same schedule

Do you have any third party apps connected to your Tesla profile? I recently installed tezlab on my iPhone and noticed that the car started turning on the HVAC and preconditioning at random times during the day. I am thinking the app caused it. Delinked my Tesla profile and deleted the data from the app. All back to normal mow.

Arth3r911 2026-03-08 19:35

No third app. But I will reset my Tesla app asap. Thanks

Arth3r911 2026-03-08 23:06

I think it was the latest update. Ruining everything. I just plugged again at 6:30pm and the car started to charge, grrr! With the schedule set to start charge at midnight. Had to delete it from the car and do another schedule exactly the same. Then it worked -__- App is useless.

So guess what… I just checked and my Tesla app has yet to update.

Arth3r911 2026-03-09 14:08

So then that’s not the issue. Ah idk over the air bugs lol

I've found tech issues like this defy discovering the reason behind the anomaly. To combat the stress I determine the status quo as quickly and as thoroughly as time allows and then just roll with the results. Thanks for sharing. As for the different charge level in another reply I have experienced this as well and it resolved itself after I manually changed the charge level up and down a few times. I have an idea of why it happened but have no way to verify it. I read years ago that it is a good idea to change the charge level for a while up or down doesn't matter but apparently it gives the BMS a chance to adjust the calibration. This may not be needed any more but who really knows.

Arth3r911 2026-03-09 22:56

It won’t hurt to try. Thank you so much.

Perhaps it is in a slightly different spot? The charging is GPS specific to a location.
