that's EXACTLY the oversight in the 2013-2014 onboard firmware :

even though i didn't need a full charge at 8am, the car would realize it couldn't get to (the not important) full charge by 8am, which was the previous day time of departure, and would start charging while electricity was still expensive, because it decided maximal charge at previous day departure time was more important than cheap electricity.

Just an oversight...

Sounds like a software/firmware fix. Did they never adjust that logic? queue my hatred for automotive closed ecosystem abandonware

Nope, but perhaps in later model year software builds.
