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.
That's done on the property's electricity smart meter.
some people have variable electrical tariffs, so electrical use in the middle of the night is usually much much cheaper than the middle of the day.
