I'm at the point of deciding between Toyota Fleet Management or SG Fleet for a Tesla Model Y, 60 month least.

Both quotes are near enough to each other in terms of costs and inclusions so there's no material reason to go with one over the other.

I was hoping that people could share their experiences with either of these companies so that I can be aware of anything that might be important before I sign.

I've seen some reports on my company's Slack that some people have had a worse experience with SG (unresponsive CS after signing/delivery, difficult to resolve issues) so that has me leaning towards TFM.

Anyone got anything worthwhile they could contribute?

I'm down to choosing colours (MY). I'm happy to go with black interior with the only caveat/thing I'm worried about being whether they will be too hot on hot days - grey would obviously keep cooler.

But as this is my first Tesla, I'm not really sure whether that should be a concern, given preconditioning and ventilated seats.

Interested in owner's reports, ideally someone who has had both light and dark interiors and how they have felt on hot days. Should I reconsider and go with grey?

Getting pretty close to a purchasing decisions now. It's down to Model Y or VW ID4. One question I have is whether it's still possible to click and double click to swap between Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Full Autopilot with lane keeping. I'm aware that changing lanes will disable Autopilot.

I've read that you can work around this by setting up different profiles with the different setting in each. Does this still work?

Pretty shitty implementation/limitation in my opinion.

As the title suggests, I'm currently tossing up which is the best Model Y option for us.

My head is saying RWD. My heart is not so easily convinced though 😂

It will be my wife's car so she wouldn't really know/care about/feel the difference day to day - except I'm sure she'd appreciate the better sound system.

I'll be the driver on road trips and I love driving so would like the additional power and curvy road handling of the AWD.

Also, being our first EV I think there's a bit of range anxiety regarding longer trips. I asked Chatty to help with a real world scenario - driving ~900km road trip from Melbourne to Mollymook. The main difference was that the trip would take about 30-45 min longer in the RWD sure to slower charging and the need to top up a bit more at each charge (still only 2 charges needed in either vehicle for the trip). From what I've read so far, many people have bought cars with more range only to realise later that they didn't really need it.

We would only be doing 4-5 trips a year that are more than 250km one way.

So I suppose I'm looking for:

a) reassurance that th RWD will be enough for our circumstances

b) reasons why people bought the AWD and whether you are still happy with your decision

The extra $10k isn't insignificant but I'm happy to pay it if it'll be something we will regret later. Planning to keep the car for hopefully 10 years+.

I'm sure this has been discussed here before but had a good scroll and couldn't see anything so thought I'd drop the question. Apologies if I'm boring you.

Looking to get an EV around the $60k mark.

Have driven Y, 3, Sealion 7, EX5, ID 4, Elroq.

Elon factor aside, I just feel like the Teslas have too much going for them:

- Charging network

- Range

- Tech

- Self driving - even without the $150 p/m FSD the driver assist feels way above the rest. Lane keeping in most of the others is borderline dangerous but Tesla hugs the centre

- Resale value

- Cabin design

- Company won't disappear overnight

- Superior dealer/support network

No physical buttons is a bit of a downer but the software is so well designed that I don't think it'll be a big issue day to day.

For the money, I just feel that the Tesla delivers a far superior product to all the others. I didn't want to feel this way. I thought it'd be a tougher decision but the only other car I've driven that comes anywhere close is the ID4.

Give me some good reasons that I might be missing.
