U missed the bit where I waited 4 years for a Model 3 :D

I think in the interests of UX, they should probably not change their EDD 3/4 times in as many days -> as its less about patience and more about chargers, finance, trade ins etc

My advice for any new buyers-> do absolutely nothing until their is someone calling you and saying "car is here give me money"

Mine has also moved out to Jan to March 2023, will wait a few days and see it it changes again before kicking one of the kids, probably foolish but I have everything organised including Selling my existing car, finance and charger install which I presume I may have to cancel, is there a 6 month limit from approval to claiming?

No harm in getting the charger done anyway if you have the cash handy. They’re unlikely to get cheaper and who knows what will happen with the grant. One less thing to organise also when the car eventually arrives.

I've no issue with getting it done once I can get the €600 grant - if I lose this because it's too far ahead of getting the car is the issue.

Mine changed to from Aug 15\Sept 14 to Feb 2023

Did everyone here pay the website price or is their room to haggle with a sales person? Its always nice to get some sort of a discount :)

Maybe if you find a used one from a dealer, Tesla are selling more cars than they can produce so I doubt there will be any haggling any time soon.

Buying a new Tesla is more like buying an iPhone. The price is the price.

I think u need car reg to get grant.

splashthecash

Nope, no car reg needed to get approved...I believe to get the moola at the end though you need the reg and photo of the cat beside the charger

Going to have to borrow my neighbors cat!

For those that have been on this journey before how long prior to delivery did Tesla seek the SEAI paperwork. I was confident when they looked for it so quickly that the aug-sept EDDs were for real! It might all turn out to be a glitch or else we will be anxiously waiting to see if there are changes in the grant in the budget!

comerla

So if our EDD has just been pushed back is there any prospect of it being brought back close again for Aug-Sept delivery?

I ordered in March. Anyone have an opinion on the likelihood that I will get the car this year - current EDD is Nov?

I've paid for the charger and install but it hasn't happened yet. Sounds like I should cancel this/ look for a refund.

I can understand delay and was prepared to wait - but for them to be texting me telling me to be ready in August that the car is coming is pretty bad.

I think we are probably in limbo for the next few days I find it hard to believe that such sophisticated manufacturing and the associated supply chain could be so screwed up, I’m really hoping that the EDDs change back as there had to be a reason for them to be shortened and then defined as a 4 week window between aug and sept. When I was on to Tesla last week they were quietly confident the EDD was real, but wouldn’t be the first time my missus had about as much insight as someone working in a global company so I’d say all we can do is wait. Re the charger like you I’m booked in but haven’t laid a penny and I was only approved last week, I think and I’m sure someone will correct me that you have 6 months to get the install done, and the claim submitted so you can’t do the install now then claim in 2023 if that was when the car arrives, you need the VRC to claim so must really have the car

Ordered in Feb. MSM, 19" wheels and white interior. So far this evening EDD still holding at Aug 23 - September 22.

No idea what the logic is anymore. Maybe the extra options are whats saving me for the moment? Very hard to plan selling my current car around this.

Its the same throughout.

Have a look at the BMW i4 thread. People expecting cars ringing up to be told no sorry, your car is not even on route yet.

Hyundai the same.

There will be a massive delivery in the last 2 weeks of September, trust me!

I posted my experience a few pages back. I had an August - October EDD, but last Friday (about 2 hours after the text came out) it changed to Nov 2022.

I was gutted, but on Monday evening it changed to August 22nd to September 23rd. It’s holding steady since.

I wouldn’t lose hope yet. By the sounds of it and reading on other forums, fluctuating EDDs approaching delivery months seems common.

Hope this helps!

It is not unusual for Tesla EDD's to change frequently and trying to understand the specific reasons will only cause brain damage and won't advance matters. Having said that my instinct is that there must have been some reason why EDD's were brought forward (which surprised us all) and many have posted here that discussion with Tesla directly indicated a confidence level that a batch of cars (most likely Model 3's) are destined for delivery to Ireland in August/September. This is also consistent with movements at port of Shanghai where there are thousands of Tesla's awaiting loading to a ship (see attached image for credits).

The first concrete and reliable indicator is the notification of a VIN which when received allows you to relax a little. These are not normally notified by Tesla until about 2 weeks from your delivery date, but are often discoverable in advance (a week or 2) through your account page (source code). VIN's are usually only allocated when a ship loads/is on the high seas . so hopefully another week or so should provide better insights.

In relation to your own order (March) I would be hopeful of you being high on the list for next deliveries...just my view,

Been following Mr Miserable, hope he’s right and a boat load of M3s are dropped off in Zeebrugge for these here shores

Thus was position on July 8th ...for those who have not seen the scale before...it's impressive. A ship from Shanghai to Europe usually has about 4500 cars.

Thumper Long

How long do ye reckon from dropping off in Zeebrugge to a M3 being ready for delivery here in Ireland? Sounds like Tesla do the SEAI stuff when the car is at sea so the time to delivery once it lands should be quick enough. I’d be ecstatic with a sept delivery, I have a few trips planned and wouldn’t mind having the wagon for them

Cars unloaded at Zeebrugge then need to pick up a RORO to transport to Dublin, give it a week all in depending on shipping schedules. SEAI can be and is done by Tesla within a day or two once you sign forms

Daithi88

Does anyone have any experience on trading in with Tesla?

I am hoping to use the funds from the trade-in as part of the down payment on the HP, but not sure how the timing & process would work in this case..don’t they look for the down payment before the trade in is even processed?

Thanks roughly what I thought so potentially cars delivered here from August 25th

Bah, first World problem, I know, but the latest update 2022.16.3 further nerfed FSD in Europe.

Before the update, it would turn off at your junction. Now, it requires you to specifically indicate and manually start the manoeuvre. Sure, what's the point in that? I might as well just turn off the navigation and do it myself.

Didn't know this in advance and almost missed two exits today.

Here's the part from the release notes, I found it later.

—-------------

Navigate on Autopilot has been updated to require a driver-initiated request before the vehicle will select a motorway exit or interchange. This driver-initiated request can be made by using the turn signal stalk shortly before the lateral manoeuvre is required.

I got a trade in value from them but it was rubbish so I declined it. I expect to get 4k more selling it myself.

For info, Tesla offered me 23k for my trade-in and I got the exact same 23k offer from Seat against the Cupra Born. That is of course a "trade" valuation, there's always the potential do better selling it privately, but also the hassle.

I'm in similar position, although PCP finance. My trade-in IS my deposit plus I have a small settlement figure on my current car. Other than submit my car for trade in valuation with Tesla, I haven't been asked to do anything else.
