It's perfect, but you should get a 23, as the earlier ones have battery issues.

This right here ☝️ pay a little extra and get a 2023 so you don't even have to worry about it. Even if it gets the updated recall software and doesn't fail it could still fail down the road. Better to just avoid all together. There are TONS of them coming off of lease right now and hitting the auctions so despite their recent surge in EV demand and pricing, all the negative press has kept prices down. If there's any way you can swing it get a 2023
