Does anyone else notice a "bump" from the car when it reaches its target charge percentage?

I was at a Tesla SC the other day, and for the first time I sat in the car until the charge hit its target percentage. Normally I hop out of the car, just before it finishes and then unplug it when it is done. However, since I waited this time, I felt a noticeable bump or movement from the car when the charge finished.

I know they do some trickery with the rear drive unit to help bump the voltage from the Tesla SC but I didn't think anything was moving.

Anyone else notice this bump occurring right as charging finishes?

The voltage boost does generate a small amount of motor torque, not enough to move the car but maybe enough to cause a little bump feeling when starting or ending a charge session on the low voltage Tesla Network.

Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying.
