> I got a 2025 Ioniq 5 and it does all that, and it's also not restricted to just one charging company's chargers.

Cool story bro. How is this relevant to a discussion about Tesla?

The parent was asking about EV charging experiences outside the Tesla ecosystem, so I replied with my experiences charging an EV without any Tesla products involved. Hope that helps!

Indeed, I (parent) have found the discussion interesting and helpful. (The observations about regional variations are also noteworthy in the context of renting/travel).

I'm glad to know that my mental model wasn't completely off-base, and happy to see that the situation is improving overall

And the parent response was a great case study in de-escalation. 5 stars, would ride again (assuming sufficient battery!)
