The current offer is $4000 off, plus $7,500 ev credit, plus 0% for 5 years. I paid the order fee but now I am worried since hearing about the refresh. Will Juniper be more expensive?

I've seen my previous car coated in a quarter inch of ice that took 3 days to melt off. I could only open one door and crawl up to the driver's seat. With the retractable handles, no chance of getting in.
Questions...
Do the handles retract when it is near/below freezing? They should not or it should be an option.
Is there an option to turn off handle retraction when powered off? For the 12V issue alone I would think this would be a nice feature. Not sure why the handles need to retract when off other than the cool factor.
If you remote start the vehicle, is there a heating element on the door handles to de-ice them?
One tire got punctured on my 2023 Tesla Model Y long range AWD Dual motor. The tires have16300miles on them. Had the car towed to Costco. Costco only have Michelin tires and cannot match the original Continental tires. Initially, I asked them to replace a pair of tires (Michelin tires). But later they called me saying they have to replace all 4 tires and cannot mix the tires. If I only want to replace two tires, I will have to sign a waiver. Four tires at $1300. (originally, two tires cost $660)
Then I called Tesla road side assistance and they replaced the punctured tire which costed me $460. The question is: Do I need to change the other tire to make the pair of tires on the rear are both new tires? Do I also need to do alignment and balancing?
Tire shaving is not an option: I have already driven the new tire for several miles; the tire shaving shop said they can only shave brand new tires. Also shaving a tire costs $180 which is just $210 different from installing another new tire in a local tire shop (total cost $390).
Never thought of getting a punctured tire can lead to so much trouble. Can any people share any experience on if I can only replace one tire (460$)? Or I have to replace a pair of tires (total: $950)? Or I replace all 4 tires at Costco (total $1300)?
Recently Ive been getting an error code vcfront_a192 and Ive been trying to find a fix for it, would a new 12v battery and a hard reset work to fix it or is it completely something different
Had the car for 5 years. Recently moved. Can’t find where to change the special “home” location.
