I ain't gonna use the dishwasher when the system wants me to, but when I can or want.

I pay low energy prices during night than day, that's normal, but I'm still not gonna do laundry at 9 pm, I'd rather pay the 10/20 cents more during the day.

I do time my dishwasher and washing machine to align with peak solar where I live.

I'd like to appeal to you to evolve that frame of mind. To help avoid first world problems (I can't wash a dish by hand, I need it now) devolving into third-world ones (power cuts, crop failures, torrid tropical nights on mid latitudes, mountains disintegrated).

Sometimes its important to remind we're on a generational mission, and it's not maximising Netflix time.

If I had a combined washer/dryer and could just load the clothes up and say “do it whenever” I’d go for that. But that’s very dependent on only needing to do one load per day.

But you will charge your car when it’s cheaper. And add a cheap home battery to remove expensive peak usage.

A typical dishwasher load requires 1-3kWh, so you'll just use your home battery and do it whenever you want.
