Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

The "cheapest" Model 3 didn't increase in price & that's the only one that still qualifies for the grant here. If the grant goes in the interim, one could still end up paying the €5k extra, by the time the car comes, which could be a year from now.

The non-refundable deposit is €250 these days too.

Thanks.

I've yet to hear back from Tesla regarding the remote diagnosis but thankfully I've been able to use the ESB 'fast' chargers down here with only a couple of hiccups. I'll be dropping by the Cork Superchargers on my way home on Saturday, so we'll see if I can charge at them. Currently, the mobile service is scheduled for the 29th of this month.

I've yet to hear back from Tesla regarding the remote diagnosis......Currently, the mobile service is scheduled for the 29th of this month.

My recent experience of Tesla's mobile service/remote diagnostics:

Service appointment made on app. Earliest date was 4 weeks out IIRC. A few days before THAT date, Tesla texted to say they had determined my car needed a part. This part wasn't in stock so they kicked it out another 10 days.

They could have remotely diagnosed the issue a day or two after I requested service & ordered the part, but left it until the 4 weeks was almost up & THEN kicked it out further, to get the part. The mobile service tech was great but it's pretty poor service IMO.

We couldn't really use our Model 3 during that time due to the issue, so very unsatisfactory.

We need a new rear lamp due to condensation. The ranger call has been pushed up and up as there are no parts available. Was due to be replaced already back in mid-May and the current ETA is 29th June. It has been rescheduled twice since the initial call to Sandyford to confirm the issue.

Being a Tesla owner 2yrs+, Inventory holding was always an issue and Tesla only use ground shipping to make wait worse. There are a LOT more Tesla's on Irish roads the last 12months but staffing has not increased proportionally

Kramer

You can drive away with that issue though. Our car could not be locked, or if locked, would often unlock itself & remain unlocked, mirrors folded out etc. The way Teslas attract attention, we couldn't park it anywhere in public. Mrs. K arrived back to it one dark evening & it was unlocked with the door partially open. It appeared powered on.

That was the last time she took it anywhere she had to park publically, until they fixed it, after 6 weeks.

I only took delivery of my Model3 in March but am very tempted to put an order in for a similar spec. With estimated delivery now Q1 2023 I take the view that if I am offered one then I can defer for a little and then take a new one later in the year. It is likely that price will have increased by then and hence value of the current Tesla will have increased (as it did before the last price hike. Its a EUR250 option and just might pay off....

Question for anyone who has deferred delivery, thinking about pulling the trigger and the estimated delivery is Q1 2023, ideally I wouldn’t want the car until Q2 is it possible to push delivery to the next quarter without penalty?

No. They will give your car to someone else and put you to the bottom of the list for next delivery.

Thanks that would suit me fine

Base white Model 3 rwd now 56k euro in UK due to price increase overnight, so if anyone is thinking about it then put down a deposit ASAP as any price increase here and you'd lose the 5k grant as well

It'll be probably Monday before they increase the price here. I'm sticking to my guess that the cheapest they'll offer will be €59,990 less the €5,000 grant.

Yes but currently a base white with 18" aero wheels is €53k, add red paint ( €2300 option) & leave the 18" aero wheels & it becomes €60k, so it looks like once you go over 55k you loose the full 5k grant

Mike2006

Based on the conversation here yesterday re: price increases, I pulled the trigger last night on a Model 3 RWD.

White with white interior on 18" Aero wheels.. Decent value at €54,262...

The €53K is the ex grant price. If you add red paint the price before grant then goes to €60,300 and you don't qualify anymore.

Where are the frantic boat watchers gone? We used to have a regular feed/photos of Tesla car carriers taken by brave boardsies who boarded skiffs and made camera passes at close range as they approached the Irish coast.

They all have their cars now I guess

Are they still brining the Model 3/Y's across from the UK market that don't match/sell to fulfill orders here?

splashthecash

There is a white 2022 RWD Model 3 showing as inventory on Telsa's irish site for €64k right now. Full self driving included..

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119215125#Comment_119215125

Without the full self driving that car is coming in at €54.8K new. But it will probably be snapped up with the long delays.

I wonder would they remove the full self driving? I suppose worth a call if anyone here interested..

eeloe

They won't remove it i'd say.

They have it added for maximum profit on a used/ex-demo car.

jusmeig

Weird, the M3P is €82,864 but it only says "Full Self-Driving Capability"

Its a demo with less than 50k, so its sitting in a showroom, and its more expensive than a new one?

That's funny, because I had bought the blue S75D that is in inventory but they cancelled the sale as they couldnt sell it with EAP due to regulations change (I have no idea what it means but it was a quote??). Worked out well as I ended buying a used X privately instead but it makes no sense if they are selling a 3 now with FSD

Woke up today with my EDD changing back from November - December to the original EDD to August 23 - October 7.

People that got their RWD cars this year does it come with floor mats? I want to order a set soon before I get the car if needed.

They seem to be all over the place. I got offered to pick up RWD car on 31st March but wasn’t ready for it. Then was showing Oct/Nov in line with delivery schedule when booking. Now it’s Jan/Feb!!! On the plus side gives me a bit of time to save up.

Moreilly

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119216508#Comment_119216508

Yep, came with floor mats fitted and rear mudguards were in the boot ,p.s. give the car a good look over on collection day....!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119216590#Comment_119216590

Mine came with the mats fitted and the front small mudflaps also fitted. No rear mudflaps, only extensions for the front ones.

Same as myself today. Was set to november-december a few weeks ago and now back to august-oct. Assuming that they won't change the dates again whats the general experience of those on boards with regards to delivery scheduling?

How much time is between being given a solid pickup time and actually picking the car up from the lot?

I'm trying to sell a car I currently own in between that time period. I don't wanna assume that August is correct and sell my current car prematurely only for the delivery estimate to be pushed back to 2023 or something. Equally if there's only a week or 2 in between the solid delivery notification and the actual delivery I might be forced to take the pretty insulting trade in valuation tesla gave me.

Thanks

They will not remove it.

They have been asked before on previous stock.
