Advanced Charger Filters of Premium function don't act as I expected

I have purchased a premium account specifically because I travel with a trailer quite often. What do I need for longer trailer route planning? Specifically three things:

  1. Being able to strictly choose routes where I dont have to disconnect the trailer to charge. The best option is a drive through charger, like Fastned has most of the time. However, if i configure a trailer option to my car nothing really happens in the planning. The alternative is then to

    a) select preffered networks manually. However, this is not a strict selection: often you still get other networks. I would like to be able to select one network as a must go!

    b) use the option “trailer friendly”. I would expect this option to be automatically selected when I configure a small trailer with my car. I dont this works this way, however. And - trailer friendly is a scale, not a YES/NO option. So I basically dont know for sure its a drive through. Others in this forum have suggested to create a boolean “drive through” which I really, really like. I would for sure have me not abandon the Premium function.

  2. Being able to schedule drive range more specifically to trailer circumstances. Nothing changes however, in the Kwh consumption index when I configure a trailer. And the range expected is still the same. For sure or hopefully this will change after some trailer drives due to the automated benchmarking, but still I would like to be able to get better predictions at the start already.

  3. I need to be able to be flexible in my planning - when i charge earlier or later than planned or charge more KwH’s than expected this needs to be change directly in my planning. I dont think this happens.

And then last of all: I cannot show both my time / distance to the first charging stop as well as the time / distance to the final destination in my Apple Carplay screen. And thats very, very annoying.

For all issues mentioned - I have seen other request which I have upvoted. So please consider this summary as input from a trailer driver who just needs a bit more functionality to stick with the premium version of ABRP.
