I hate the gen 3 wall connector.

It creates a wifi access point in your garage that you cannot turn off:

  TeslaWallConnector_<unique-id>
some people were able to downgrade their firmware to a version that didn't do that, but i guess this article shows telsa got rid of that ability.

I would love to be able to hack any firmware to disable that.

I also read that a connected tesla car can force an over-the-air firmware update maybe through the charging cable or wifi, but I haven't verified that.

The SSID stops broadcasting after the unit is commissioned, unless you're using power sharing between multiple units. In that case the SSID is used for the units to communicate.

Thank you. This information is not listed anywhere and I am currently getting quotes for solar panel build.
