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.
or, use Home Assistant to handle your charging schedules.
or even better, use EVCC https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc

Your comment makes no sense. The tesla wall connector is a home charging port you install in your garage.
I knew this is about wall charger at home but I assumed ‘time of use billing’ was some kind of billing system for the charger that’s implemented.
