Have you checked Amica? I recently switched to them and they were very reasonable compared to my current carrier. Recommendation came from BMWCCA, where members get a discount.

I believe they are US based but thank you.
I have been shopping around and found a comparatively reasonable quote which I accepted today.
I have read that one of the components leading to this years great hike in premiums is due to the long lead time for repairs and the concomitant high cost of courtesy car hire.
However, all UK policies come with the courtesy car clause which the insurers will not remove and thereby lower premiums accordingly. "It is included " we are told "and therefore is free" which of course is bollocks. I would rather have a lower premium and no courtesy car but the insurers have us by the body part to which I referred above. ( I'm feeling testi
with the whole thing).

As years went on nothing about the model y change but cost saving parts. Teslas motto. Cut cost, maximize profits

An approach adopted by businesses since the dawn of private enterprise. When coupled with the right value proposition and a product which becomes an object of desire, usually results in success - at least for a time.
You must live on another planet? Since my 2020 MYP they have added no less then 25 plus new features and improvements And reduced the price massively so more can afford it. Seems they are doing exactly the Opposite of what you imagine.
Materials. I have a 2023 MY and my brother has a 2022 MYP as well as a 2022 MY. What are these 25 plus new features and improvements?
Not going to spend time looking them all up for you but feel free to research. Nobody with a 2020 MY will disagree there have been a ton of improvements.

Tesla could easily add proper blind spot warning but they are content let the highly inaccurate squiggly lines that half of us ignore, to be your blind spot warning. Hopefully they will wise up soon.
When an object is detected in your blind spot or near the side of Model Y (such as a vehicle, guard rail, etc.), the touchscreen displays colored lines radiating from the image of your vehicle. The location of the lines correspond to the location of the detected object. The color of the lines (white, yellow, orange, or red) represent the object's proximity to Model Y, with white being the farthest and red being the closest and requiring your immediate attention. These colored lines only display when driving between approximately 12 km/h and 140 km/h. When Autosteer is active, these colored lines also display if driving slower than 12 km/h. However, the colored lines do not display if Model Y is at a standstill (for example, in heavy traffic).
Lane Assist
Model Y monitors the markers on the lane you are driving in as well as the surrounding areas for the presence of vehicles or other objects.When an object is detected in your blind spot or near the side of Model Y (such as a vehicle, guard rail, etc.), the touchscreen displays colored lines radiating from the image of your vehicle.

Cargo cover in UK since June 22.
Li-ion low voltage battery ( it's 16 ish volts).
So the bigger battery pack gets more range now? Hepa filter??? For realz???? Full press was to save money. Didn’t make the car any safer. 7 seater option is not free. New center console design? It’s tye same.
I did not get a free thumb drive. Thumb drive at video rate is cheap. Amber color bulbs cost more than clear ones? I could probably question all these on the list. In covid period MYP was selling at $60k+. So Tesla was literally charging for everything.
I will give you double pane, but again came out when price was at peak.
Now Tesla might charge for heated seats. Might even be a subscription.
Not crapping on the model y. Wife model y is great. All the item in the list are just changes not upgrades.

I had a 2021 from Fremont. Just got a 23 from Austin. I thought 21 was kind of a harsh ride. The 23 has softer damping. It is still a stiff ride but comfortable. I think fit finish and build quality is also a bit better. I am very happy with it.

Agreed. My MYLR is definitely more comfortable than previous 2019 M3LR, but still a bit more jittery than I like.
Different cars. Are you saying 2023 m3lr is a better ride than the 2019 m3lr when it was new?

No- it was because you asked what improvements Tesla had made, then, when confronted with a long list proceeded to ignore them because they disproved your point. If you’re going to engage in a debate over facts you need to be prepared to admit you’re wrong. If you can’t then be prepared for people to point out your inability to reason.
The problem arises when said business effectively has no competition. Then they get greedy and realize they can cut even more (or delay upgrades) because consumers don't really have a choice if they want a product in that category. . . .

Have you seen the list? Tell me how it improved the car on user stand point? Nothing is a noticeable changes. Nothing. Single press was to speed up production and cut cost. Matrix headlights??? Can’t tell the difference between my friends older model to my 2023. Then claim it’s only performance y.
It’s just annual model feature changes. Every manufacturer does it. Is he claiming the list was done over a year? Or since first introduction of model y (first year model)? Please just stop. Some on that list are just fixes
You must resist being wrong lol. It’s ok to be wrong your doing well at it.
