New colours are likely due to Berlin production for RHD cars.

The tilting mirror, my guess is you have comfort access enabled which has its own profile and which has them set that way, I don’t use it so can’t remember how to set it/enable it etc. but I’d look there. I’ve heard people sometimes create duplicate profiles with just a few differences which you can select, mirror position being one of them, giving you options to relatively quickly toggle between 2 positions
Those new colours look great!
Type 3 would look ace in those colours too.
I read that the Berlin plant was the only one able to do the red colour.

I wonder why the Y will be coming out of Berlin in a few months, perhaps to gear up the China plant for the updated Y?

It looks like the new colours for the Y are coming out of Berlin, though RHD. Unless the China plant has a new paint shop!

There's a new RWD LR Model Y that's launched in some LHD markets in Europe.

Berlin has only made Model Y (LHD until now) but as you suggest they have been for some time. M3 in Europe still all come from China

The Berlin production now exceeds the European demand for MY with excess inventory/capacity, add shipping issues because of the Middle East crisis and it seems they’ll start making at least some of our RHD cars in Berlin.

It’s been around at times in other parts of the world but yes it’s here and at quite a saving. It makes more sense to make a lower spec car that’s cheaper than trying to keep cutting the price to boost sales.

My Model 3 is LHD and it came from China. Ordered in Spring 2022 and delivered in June 2022.

Hi. We've just done this.

Ensure you keep your keycards separate and work through things in a step-wise manner.

One keycard first, set up phone and seats etc. lock car, return with phone, tap "Yes" when prompted to link phone to driver profile.

Second person then does the same with second keycard and phone while first user keeps their distance.

We have one test left to do (with wife doing a second return), but it worked for me this morning after she last drove.

Bonne chance!

Its fairly easy - what you don't want to do is use the account profile as that will be flip floppping between you, use a profile thats just in the car. Easy thing is to give them your name

Once you have a profile thats how you want it (and saved), in the locks(? might be securit) menu you'll see a list of key cards, phones etc that have access, work out which is your phone, and then select the head, this will bind the profile to that key.
