Hi all, new owner of a 4s, unbelievable car! I just had the 220v/50amp installation for the mobile charger. The charger drew 38amps immediately and was off and charging, good times.
I decided to follow instructions I found on YouTube to set both a location profile and timer so that I can charge between 12am-6am to 85%. That is all set and I get the blue screen showing Waiting. What wasn’t expected (to me) is that the wall mount mobile charger continues to flash/blink on top and bottom curves. Is that expected in the Wait state?

This is 100% normal. Flashing blue means 'charging paused', green (charging in progress), red denotes a fault. Same behaviour as the charge port button.

As you have a timer set and the car has a charge level greater than the minimum set e.g. 25% then it will pause until the current time matches the time set in your timer and then begin charging.

Flashing blue will become green at the alloted time.

thanks yes I think I remember seeing that the car port and charger stay in sync with color, both were blinking. Woke up today to 85% charged, all good!
