There does not seem to be a way to change the format of the date on the time series charts  
Currently it looks like  
“Wed 06 11 AM”

That’s correct. It currently does a “best guess” display of the date/time format based on the overall time range of the plotted data. It will also change based on zoom level. In a future release, you’ll have the ability to specify a time format that you can apply to override the default behavior.

Do we have any progress regarding this topic?

It’s quite an issue in the European market
