Automatically selecting charge mode
Hello! Is there a way to setup the car to automatically select the charge mode when arriving to your destination?
Sometimes when i arrive at home or work i forget to press the little "Select home/work charging mode" (or whatever it says in english) on the screen and it results in my car not charging at all, wich is a bummer, especially at work when the max charge speed is 1,7kwh, so even if i remember to check the app and activate charging later in the day there isnt enough time to fully charge.

On mine if I don’t select anything then it uses the default ‘standard’ profile. On mine standard is to charge to 100% and disable fast charging. Uk models don’t support fast charging anyway so it defaulting to off might just be because it’s not available anyway.

This is a frustrating issue that I hope they resolve in an update. Either it should be automatic or the dialog box should show up once you put the car in park. Software engineers are using us as beta testers and not dealing with it prior to release by testing it themselves or just using common sense. However as Murton said, your car should still charge using the standard mode.

A 11kw home charger requires a 3 phase supply.
technically a 11kw charger is classed as a fast charger so it is technically correct that the car shouldn’t charge unless fast charging is enabled. That said however it is a poor option to have fast charging disabled by default. It would be much more logical to have it being ‘dc fast charging’ being enabled or not so 11kw is considered the same as 7kw charging.
