References to \u201cEnhanced Charge on Solar\u201d also appeared, connecting the use of surplus solar energy with time-of-use pricing.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was to coordinate the car and home energy system more effectively. Rather than considering only a manually selected time, the system could potentially take the home\u2019s energy preferences into account.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"archivio-2\">Development clues, rather than general availability<\/h2>\n<p>The distinction is essential when reconstructing the news from that period. An entry found in code can show the direction in which a feature is being developed, but does not demonstrate that it is active, available in Italy or supported on every Wall Connector version.<\/p>\n<p>Not a Tesla App identified a reference to supported devices without a complete official list. Compatibility theories therefore remained theories: they were not sufficient grounds to promise the feature to an individual owner.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"archivio-3\">Why the report deserved attention<\/h2>\n<p>The subject addressed a practical need: connecting vehicle charging with household energy management. Any potential benefit, however, depended on the electricity contract and installation; it could not be reduced to the same guaranteed saving for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>This page preserves the record of the clues found in May.
