Thanks for sharing! Everything seemed like it was working as usual, did the credit card tap and it accepted my card. But I'm not going to complain about free charging

I figured it was going to true up the costs when the dollar amount didn't go up while charging

Another explanation if you payment seemed to go through...they just were giving free charging sessions

My wife hated the ride on the loaner '21 Y compared to her 18 3 and was so happy to have it back. Updated suspension was too floaty for her

When the Model Y refresh comes out, there's going to be new shifts happening. If it's anything as refined as the new Model 3, I'll probably get the Model Y Performance over the M3 Performance

I can safely say, you don't want an EV from 2016

Model S would be the exception

Lol, I also think the Model S is a great design because it's olllld and the new ones still look great too.

Oh, and it's the headlights of the refresh 3 that grab my attention... really sharp looking.

The Y suspension wasn't updated until 2023. Ours is not floaty at all. The new redesigned M3 is a vast improvement. I hope they bring whatever they did to it to the new Y when it's released.

I agree, my Y's suspension is on the stiffer side, not floaty at all. I would describe the Ioniq 5's suspension as a little floaty, but not in a bad way
