Powerwall 3: question about Savings mode with Octopus overnight tariff

📍 Reddit Powerwall

Unconfirmed: a Reddit user says he has had a Powerwall 3 and solar system for about a month in self-powered mode, charging the battery during the day and running the house overnight at no cost. After a long process and a year-long dispute with EDF, he switched to the Octopus Intelligent Go overnight tariff and wants to move to Savings mode to charge the battery overnight at 8p. The post cuts off before he states his question, so the details of his configuration and other users' replies are not known. This is a user discussion, with no official Tesla confirmation.

🔎 Why it matters: No official Tesla confirmation: this is one user's account of wanting to move his Powerwall 3 from self-powered to Savings mode to charge the battery on the Octopus Intelligent Go tariff at 8p.
📈 Upside: According to the user, self-powered mode covered his nights during the first month with the battery charged by day.
📉 Risk: Charging from the grid at 8p instead of using solar could reduce the daytime self-consumption that currently powers the house at night.
