Tesla Model Y

So! Two weeks into driving MYLR now and a few things I wonder if others have figured out.

1) Do people actually find Tesla Vision useful? Is there a way to turn it off? Everytime I'm in slow traffic, I am getting beeps and boops and warnings like there's no tomorrow. Reversing into my own driveway causes sounds like it's a major emergency.

2) Has anyone found a good solution to not having Android Auto/Apple Carplay? Spotify and Maps are great on the Tesla, but (having come from a Volvo) I really miss being able to get the car read out WhatsApp messages and send WhatsApps by voice via the car.

3) How does everyone find auto headlights? My car keeps switching on full beams in residential areas with streetlights - it does work well at dimming when there's oncoming traffic, but it's definitely annoying for pedestrians when the full beams come on in urban areas.

Thanks!

I really don’t mind tesla vision. I always air on the side of caution when in tight spaces but generally I find it ok. The headlights are extremely bright and people flash you. I understand that Tesla have them configured but I’m wondering is it that the led are just really really bright or they are actually aligned wrong and blinding people. I get as an SUV you’re sitting higher up… what’s the thoughts?

is the tire repair kit worth the money. €85 seems a bit steep for a portable air pump and sealant?

I don’t mind paying it once the quality of it is decent.

anyone here have it?

has anyone retrofitted a tow bar. The tesla price is spicey.

1) TV is notoriously flakey at best. Tesla imho made a mistake removing the USS. I've been in a USS equipped MY and even though it's also technically TV, it's a lot better than TV-only.

2) I don't think you can get WhatsApp integration via the car. Could you enable Google assistant and say loudly "Hey Google" (to activate assistant). "Send message to X on WhatsApp... (Dictate your message)"

3) others here have suggested adjusting the lights in settings. Probably worth a go.

I put a deposit on a MY almost 2 weeks when the sale was on.

If I'm going to cancel do i need to cancel within 14 days of paying the deposit? Or do I have more time?

You could also just postpone pickup till later in the year.

Very true, I was thinking more of keeping the price as is, if the price were to go up 1500 overnight you will have the lower price.

Fully agree, if they can get the car now, get it and keep the discount.

have the car 2 months

can you pay off tesla finance after a few weeks? i.e use it as a bridge loan without penalty?

Making Payments for Your Vehicle | Tesla Support

The T&C or FAQ seem to suggest loan can be paid off without having to pay the "potential" cost/interests to the loan issuer...?

Is it always difficult to get sales on the phone? I am wondering what the story with the grant is if purchasing right now! Will it be honoured?

edit update; they expect to push through before deadlines but it's tight. Took 20 min wait time, don't know if they don't employ many or there's just peak demand this morning. They offer auto call back but I wanted to be sure I spoke with someone

So if you order a discounted car June 30th, will they not honor the price? since it would not be possible to be delivered by end Q2...
