Bristol, 26th November, red/black.
FWIW I am in a similar position with regards to the Ultra Sonic Sensors. Definitely angry they wont be on my new car, and I am coming from a 2015 S 85D, so it might feel like im losing functionality. I totally understand why someone might cancel and wait to see what happens...
BUT.
I do think, as an avid tesla obsessive, that the model Y is just a BIG step up from earlier S/X vehicles. The efficiency is WAY higher, the charge rate is massively higher. The build quality (no panel gaps!) is way better, and the computer in a new model Y is way better. I did pay for the MCU2 upgrade, and it was well worth it, but I did that maybe 2 years ago now, and feel I got my moneysworth from it. Its totally worth the money.
I'll also be losing free supercharge/connectivity, but TBH the actual yearly cost of these are trivial anyway next to a £73k new car...
I strongly get the impression that the only car tesla cares about right now is the model Y. The 3 is just not as profitable, and the S/X are relatively niche and will never scale much further. All the focus, all the tech, all the attention is lavished on the model Y. Its THE car to get, at least until cybertruck. My model S is still fab, but the range is not great, the charge speed not great, and the autopilot will never get any better. I bought in 2015, now feels the right time to upgrade.
I also think the Y is going to be insanely popular. One of the reasons I don't want to cancel now, and wait and see on the USS, is that I don't want to go to the back of the queue again. The removal of USS coincides with a camera upgrade. Maybe their replacement AI is even better? I'm sure there will be a ton of feedback here from people without USS. I have a pretty tight garage (at the back) so will be testing it to destruction

I went online chat (should've done it this morning!) and asked where was my collection invite text, 5 secs later whilst chatting it appeared....! A bit frustrating it's Dec 1st but fook it - I know where I'm up to at least
Collection appointment confirmed Monday 28 November - Staines
Monday 28 November - StainesI have a '68 MS P100D and I'm thinking about sticking with it. It's quicker, more features generally and I've already have the CCS upgrade and as it's a facelift, it has MCU2 so only thing I'd really miss is the heat pump and extra height... but the air suspension if great and the Ludicrous / Ludicrous+ Warp is crazy fun too plus it has USS and radar. The warranty runs out at the end of Jan but I can extend for 4 years for £3k... but the trade-in offered is £3k more than I paid for it and I still have the £3k discount locked in on the MYP... decisions, decisions...I also got the "choose a slot" text today.

Sadly, this is where I think I get off the MYP bus

Did you have anything showing in your Tesla account with it being a lease? My lease company passed my details to Tesla, I got an email to create an account but have nothing else beyond that. My account doesn't show anything either.
I agree. I'm sure Tesla will come up with a Park Assist update in the near future, Its their most popular model. Surely the cameras will help out a little until a new update is available.Bristol, 26th November, red/black.

No, still nothing showing in my Tesla account (as expected). My lease company have always been behind in providing updates so it was a nice surprise to get my first SMS from Tesla. (I had called Tesla direct a few times for updates using the RN and they always promised I would get a flurry of texts at some point starting with this one).
Did your lease provider give you an option for collection or delivery? Mine has always said that it'll be delivered, so not sure if i'll be getting these texts from Tesla.
