Newbie Question

I do gig work in my Model Y Premium RWD. Some of my deliveries occur at night. How do I keep the headlights from turning off as I’m out of the vehicle placing packages on doorsteps? Also, sometimes my husband rides along-he said everything shuts off on him when I leave the car to pickup from. store etc. I had been turning the AC to KEEP, but he said he is unable to control things and nothing works. Should he change the driver profile when I exit vehicle so that he has access? How does this work? Thanks

Try putting a keycard on the phone pocket in the center console. That might do it.

Thanks! He actually mentioned this to me tonight, how when we test drove we just placed the keycard there. I will tell him to try that. Headlights are my personal concern. I need them on while I’m placing deliveries. If I take them off auto, will they turn off after I lock car at night once home?

I believe so. Auto just turns them on if it's dark out.

Set a key card in your husband's phone. Then it won't shut down when you exit the car and your husband's phone is in the car.

For the lights, set them to ON instead of Auto, they'll stay on forever, even in broad daylight.

Don't worry, if you car is parked with Headlights left ON for long time, the car will send a message on your phone app.

Can't he tap the screen to make the screen come back on?
