I had a surprise this morning after leaving for work and realizing that my car wasn't charged. Fortunately I realized it before getting far from home, and fortunately I have a backup car.

I suspect the car wasn't charged because the time was set incorrectly to PM instead of AM. My car automatically updates the time, per the option in the menu. My theory is that the automatic daylight savings time changeover on Sunday morning incorrectly adjusted the PM vs AM setting. Since my car charges at a particular time each evening, the incorrect AM/PM setting didn't make the car charge last night.

Anybody else have this issue?
 
Hah ! You found a twice a year bug !
Good job ! Too bad you had to burn gas that day... :(

Only delayed charging users would be affected.
I had to manually set my time. I'll have to look for the 'auto time update' config setting.
 
I have auto time update selected, and the time did not auto update on Sunday. I had to manually set it forward, then it appeared to auto sync again (time is correct to the nearest second).
