i3 Charging

I'm confused about the charging system on the i3, specifically the dashboard/software controls.

I've set Level 1/2 at maximum. I have a 50 amp line, 40 amp EVSE from which the Tesla charges flawlessly.

I'm struggling to understand:

1) Charge time windows. I just want to set a charging window of 12 midnight to 5am, regardless of all other variables. Can it be done?

2) How do I know what my charging level is when plugged in? I'm specifically looking for an indicator showing that I'm drawing at 30+ amps (or up to 7+ kilowatts). Does the feature exist? All I can find is a graphic that says I'm charging. Not so helpful.

3) DC Fast: I plugged into our local DC Fast charger, but again, was not clear what the actual charge level was that I was experiencing. The DC Fast indicator icon did not appear, but there was charging occurring. Again, just not sure if it was Level 1 or 2 and if 2, the number of kilowatts I was at.

Am I missing something? Any help appreciated.
