No 400 kW charging is actually a bit underwhelming, any new Chinese competitor in that price range has 800 kW and BYD is up to 1 MW now.
I suppose for practical purposes 400 kW is OK if it has a good charge profile, but it is far from impressive.
Since 99.9% or rapid chargers are 350kW or lower it doesn't really matter yet other than for future proofing. And 400kW is really more than you will ever need
True, but that doesn't make 400 kW impressive when similar cars from China have double that.
