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.


by commissioned you mean "connect it to your home wifi and let it talk to tesla"? (i won't do that)

because it hasn't gone away after configuring the setup stuff (amps, etc)


Yes, obviously. If you didn't want that, you should have bought another charger, maybe Bluetooth only, and add your home-grown layer on top of it.


Can I ask why don't you want a Tesla charger talking to Tesla? Seems a bit odd if you already own a Tesla vehicle that is just piping the data to Tesla all the time.


Is it possible to connect it to your wifi but block it talking to the internet? I'd be curious to know if that stops the built in SSID.


Mine did


And make sure the firmware is up to date. Mine is at 26.2.2.
