Planning on a 2023 purchase, any thoughts?

Hello,
I'm planning to buy a 2023 Kona EV, either SEL or Limited. Any opinions?

For me
  • I don't like the look of the 2024+ models
  • I do care about a sunroof
  • is the drivetrain the same from 2020 to 2026?
  • I still see some low mileage ones, less than 20K miles
  • I used to have a Leaf and charged from 110V every other day, that's kinda my same plan, I know 240V is 9hrs charge, my normal drive/usage is under 20miles, so I plan to charge every 3-4 days on 110V for the next year or so> is this realistic?
  • seasonally I do long trips, has anyone used a Telsa charging station with an adapter? do they make adapters (I thought I saw one for sale somewhere)
 
Also, I'm an old fart, I'm not terribly interested in tying the car to my phone. For Teslas that's a given, they are heavily interfaced together. A friend is constantly getting noise/notifications from her car to her phone. I don't believe your phone is needed for the Kona, is that correct? I'm not sure how integrated the Mach-E is, I *think* it is between the Kona and the Tesla.
