Perhaps it is, but that's what their T&Cs ️say:
3) BATTERY CHARGING LEVELS AT VEHICLE CHECK OUT: Avis will rent the EV with at least a 70% charge on the battery.
The Tesla was at 80% when we picked it up. Avis guarantees at least 70% at pickup.
Avis requires 70% at drop off
If you bring back at 10% to 69% it's a $35 fee, less than 10% is a $70 fee.

I don't know why, but after 32 months with it I still find the rotary dial complicated in fast maneuvers and often end up in Park instead of Reverse. I wish it was just a twist left for R, right for D and then it returned to center, with a button for Park, like the dial shifter does in some Kia EVs.
I'm told for 2023, Model Y received a "comfort" suspension update. This 2023 was way better built and rode better than a 2020 TMY I test drove just after deliveries started. The 2023 TMY is smoother than my 2021 Mach-E.

I think I could get used to almost everything except for the driving position and lack of CarPlay.
I don't know if the poor driving position was how the vehicle is designed or if the seat motor really was broken.
And, not having complete phone integration and being able browse audio/music on...

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
Overall, the Model Y was a great vehicle for vacation. Easy to drive, use, park, etc., and our accommodations had on-site charging so we never had to visit a gas...
After inquiring today, the last day of Q1 2022, about the BlueCruise OTA, Ford's Passenger Vehicle Team responds that it's now delayed until the end of Q2 2022.
This can easily be worked around with a captive WIFI network and update server. Car connects to dealer's captive wifi network and pulls the update from a computer onsite or from Ford. Bypassing OBDII.
Or with the instructions for TSB 22-2117 (fix for vehicles stuck on 1.7.1) it looks like the...
Hi ?, I'm "some guy named Matt" and I wasn't "evasive." No one asked if it was my car, otherwise I would have answered that no it is not. It was from a friend in the Early Access Program.
There is no "one" SW version for Mustang Mach-E, like Tesla. Mustang Mach-E runs over 2 dozen computers (aka modules) and they must all be updated individually and have their own, individual software versions. Ford has chosen instead to number the updates, which are a collection of changes to...
