PSA: If your wall connector loses wifi, it'll just throw your charging schedules out the window and turn on/off sporadically. This is especially noteworthy if you have Time of Use billing :| SET THE TIMER ON THE CAR DIRECTLY!

It also fits the broader theme here: too much important behavior seems to live in the "application layer" of the charger, while the more durable source of truth is elsewhere.

I spent an hour yesterday getting the wall connector back on my wifi. Apparently last October when I added wifi 7 access points my network started working in WPA2/WPA3 mode and the wall connector wasn’t compatible with that. Ended up having to create a second SSID with WPA2 only support to get it back online.

Supposedly the newest update fixes that, but I haven’t taken the time to test that out.

But WiFi is shocking my fragile on these wall connectors, I’ve had a lot of trouble keeping it connected to my home network over the years.

    Does the tesla wall connector offer Ethernet? Honestly I feel like most devices that are not expected to move around should at least offer it as an option (exceptions being for things where it’s not feasible like smart bulbs, smart locks, etc). If anything it’ll remove congestion for things that can’t realistically be wired.
