Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Bog standard white with aero wheels. I didn't get a choice of home delivery and I am in Cork but I'd almost rather pick it up in Dublin so I get to drive it back 😁

You can stop off for a SuC on day 1 as all SuC free on your delivery day, fill up!

They don't advertise the home deliver that much. Getting back will be enjoyable but getting there may not 😉

I did not know this, I'll be filling up in both Ballacolla and Mahon if so! Thanks for the heads up 😁

I thoroughly enjoyed my pickup trip. Was away for work and had to get up early for a 2hr train trip to Heuston, Luas into the city and then another out to Sandyford, followed by a brisk walk to Tesla. Was a very cold December day but the anticipation across the whole morning was like being a kid again the night before Xmas.

Test drove M3 last Friday - ordered Saturday for a March delivery (hopefully). Long time since a car made me smile so much. Really more impressed with it than I expected to be. Anyone any recommendations for car buying companies? Have a trade in value from Tesla but would like to get better. Joe Duffy motors offered me a grand less! Don’t want to sell privately.

It all depends on what you are selling....

if its a €50k BMW then you need to shop around for the best price, but if its a €2,000 Fiat, then you could probably afford to take the hit and just let Tesla dispose of it..

Trade in offer came back at €39,620

(March 2020 SR+ - Made in USA)

Petetheroadie

Yeah, Tesla's trade in offers seem to have improved recently.

Think it could be worse for those picking up from now on. My pick up was in Walkinstown which is a pain to get to from a public transport point of view. Think they are doing from there for when there is a large number of pickups or perhaps it was because Sandyford had the charger construction going on?

I think I'm picking up in Walkinstown as well. Probably easier than Sandyford for those of us heading south, it's straight out the Red Cow after collection. Although you're 100% right on the public transport piece, looks like I'll have to get a bus from Cork and jump out at Heuston and get a taxi across to Agnelli House.

More the former than the latter! Local garage offered me 1k more than Tesla. Kearys interested and will call me back

Friend got an ioniq5 , and drove from wex to belfast. on the journey after overtaking a few cars, he was prompted to enable automatic overtaking. from then on, the car would overtake slower cars automatically, without them having to do anything, press anything or initiate the maneuver .

I triple checked that they didn't have to do anything for them to over take , as my understanding was this was a restriction in european law. as someone with FSD, I have to initiate the maneuver in europe :(

anyone know if the law has changed ? I can't find details of it changing, and assume this is a bug in the ioniq 5, as my friend can't find a setting to enable or disable it, there was a one time prompt after manually overtaking a few times (with lane keep and cruise enabled)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I also got the "Tesla Update - Your Model 3 is nearly here..." text yesterday and it said to prepare for delivery in late-February. I ordered mine (RWD, Blue paint, Black interior, 18" wheels) in mid-November. I emailed DeliveryIE@tesla.com to ask them a couple of questions about the completion process and the reply I got was....

"It seems this was sent to you in error so please accept my apologies. We should be in touch very soon to confirm a more accurate delivery date.. "

 Hopefully this only applies to me and the rest of you were sent the correct information.

I think it's the first session thats free, not all day.

Walkinstown location is at Agnelli Fiat place right? It's right off the red luas line, couldnt be any better served by PT

Ha not coming from back arse of Wicklow - but I take your point.

Do you have a VIN in your source code? I also ordered in November but white paint. I have a VIN which should indicate it's in transit and according to TMC it should be on Hyperion Ray as the timings line up with the text yesterday.

Newoven

Do you have a VIN in your source code?

No VIN in my account so far.

I was surprised when I got the text because I'd checked for a VIN yesterday just before I got the text, but then who knows exactly how the sequence of VIN - texts - delivery is managed. I'd guess if you have a VIN then your order is more advanced than mine so hopefully this doesn't apply but I thought it worth mentioning in case any of you were also notified in error. I'm glad I checked though as I have to sell my current car and I'm hoping to have a few weeks notice of the Model 3 delivery.

Speaking of which, anyone fancy an Alfa Romeo Giulia Speciale diesel, 181 reg, black with top spec interior and 50k miles? Available some time in early March/mid March/late March/early April....

slave1

Source code not your Account, just have a quick Google on how to get it when logged on to your Tesla account

I meant no VIN in the source code - I got that pointer from earlier posts in this thread.

To be specific I ordered my car on November 24th so were those with VINs earlier than that?

JDilleen

I ordered on the 22nd of November. For what it's worth, there seems to be a lot of activity in Shanghai at the moment so your car could very well be loaded in the next few days. For reference, I got my VIN on the 17th of January and my suspected ship set sail on the 12th of January.

Petetheroadie

It kinda looks like texts with VINs get sent when the ship gets through the Suez canal and into the Med (from observing the ship tracking thread on TMC)... Am I right?

dahughes23

Delivery scheduled for 25th February, only a single date offered with 4 time slots

petsie_mc

Also just received text to pick a delivery slot. Ordered 9th November (M3, Blue, RWD, Black Interior, 19")

Newoven

Despite all my earlier negativity it seems I am also getting my delivery on February 23rd! Not sure how this changed from yesterday but I'll take it. The pickup is set for Baldonnell which isn't the handiest to get to. It's a mad process.

One question for those of you that have done this - does the car come fully charged or will I need to go charge it?

MikeyJoyce

Delivery just scheduled for Feb 22nd :)

They usually have more than enough charge in the car to get you home, and failing that you get a free Supercharging session on the way home if needed.

AHOV

Great to hear some dates coming through, I've no word yet, ordered 2nd Nov, (M3,RWD,White/White interior, 18") had hoped for a Feb. delivery date when ordered, but doesn't look like that will happen now.
