I made a local charging profile and I found it sometimes worked, sometimes did not.

With some troubleshooting I discovered that the GPS location in the garage sometimes drifts out into the street.

As a workaround I renamed my main profile "Garage" and made a duplicate called "Driveway" where I moved the pin using the app to the point the car was displaying its location.

This seems to fix it, but I have questions.

1. Is there a way to connect the car to my wifi at home, as a client? Sometimes wifi helps geolocation accuracy.
2. Is there a way to just make the radius bigger for the geofence?

My understanding is that just like my Tesla you just connect to your wifi when in the garage, assuming you have adequate signal strength from your router. Am I wrong? I'll find out this weekend when I finally get my car.

If that is the case I don't know where to set that. There are some wifi settings that have to do with the in-car hotspot, if you buy that feature.

There is not a way to connect the car to your WiFi network or any hotspot. There are threads about that on the forum if you do a search. Simms only possible to do in Russia for some unknown reason?
