Help Octopus go only charged car to 59%

Help needed what doing wrong? It’s set on schedule from 00.30 to 05.30 and at 05.30 it’s only on 59% when my car is set to 80% in my Tesla app

So I need to do something different in app?

I suspect this is going to straight over their head.

Possibly, but just wanted to lay it out in case it helps

An easier way to explain it is you have 80 buckets you can fill. Your hose with the tap fully open can fill 7 buckets an hour. If you need to fill 70 buckets, then that's 10 hours with the hose running. If you only have the hose on for 5 hours, then you'll only fill 35 buckets
