Report: energy provider loses authorization in Tesla app
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user reports that the link between their energy provider and the Tesla app loses authorization every few weeks. According to the post, the system then draws power from the grid for days, using a 0p/kWh rate instead of the company's actual utility rate. The user says the only workaround they have found is setting a custom plan, and asks whether other owners do the same or know of better alternatives. This is a community discussion thread, not an announcement from Tesla or the provider.
- According to the post, the provider's authorization lapses after a few weeks.
- The user reports days of grid draw at an incorrect 0p/kWh rate.
🔎 Why it matters: No official confirmation exists: the post says that after losing authorization the app applies 0p/kWh instead of the actual utility rate, with no Tesla or provider source confirming it.
📈 Upside: According to the user, setting a custom plan in the app prevents the system from using the wrong rate.
📉 Risk: According to the post, for days the system draws from the grid assuming 0p/kWh instead of the provider's actual rate.
