So I told you I'd be back with stupid questions!!

I see the prices advertised for kWh. Roughly and I mean roughly how many units would it take to charge from 20% to 80%?

Again just a rough idea to get an idea of different charging prices.

Thanks.

20% to 80% in an SR+ is about 30kWh

SR+ has about a 50kWh usable battery, so every 1kWh is about 2% of charge.

Sold already.

Pity you didn’t get to test drive it. I knew they were close to a sale on it last week.

Tbh if I was serious I would have bought it sight unseen. Once you said it was yours then that would have been fine. I had one before from the service centre while my MSP was in there so know how they drive etc

Assume your on standard ESB rate per kWh.
Let’s call it 20c. I know it’s 18 or something along those lines but for simple maths let’s leave it at 20c. Then assume your car has 50 kWh battery.

50x20c is €10 for a full charge.
€10=100%.
€1 = 10%

So for every 10% charge costs you €1.

Quick basic figure to keep it easy in your head. There are charging cable losses etc but for simplicity €1 = 10%.

It was well looked after, I just have a bad habit with changing cars

Do you mind us asking what you replaced it with?

I presume a BMW?

Audi ETron - I looked at changing into a 2021 LR Model 3, but cost to change was ridiculous

The eagle eyed amongst you might have spotted a Model 3 while watching The Falcon & The Winter Soldier....

Seems to be back up for sale in their Northside garage. May do a drive by tomorrow to see if it’s there.

What's the story with the security/sentry option. I got into the car this evening and there was 6 notifications about security on the screen but when you tap the icon, nothing happens.

The car isn't registered in my name yet as I'm waiting on the tax book.

Looking online it says you have to tap the camera icon on the screen but there isn't one there!!

Do you have a flash drive installed to record the clips to?
If there’s no cars to write to, Sentry Will still operate, but won’t have anywhere to save the files...

Obviously I don't!! I think to be fair it's just a few of the neighbours having a nosey at the car!!

AndyBoBandy · 03-04-2021 10:26PM

I’d get a card in there for Sentry and dashcam.

You wouldn’t want to arrive back to your car in a carpark and find a big dent or scratch, and not have the video footage of what happened!!!

Already discussed when the original owner was thinking of selling a month or so ago.

I had it a year and a half, longest I’ve ever kept a car! Never had any issues with it, if anyone is interested in the car I’m more than happy share my experience over PM

Hi all,

Just a quick question...still considering a change and now looking at a Model 3 Long Range version.

I’m moving into rented accommodation for about a year so it is feasible to charge the Tesla from a 3 pin socket for a few months before another move to where I can get my own charging box?

I’ll be able to charge at work too but won’t be there very frequently. The network of public chargers isn’t great where I live.

Thanks for any comments

That's what I'm doing. We are looking to move house in the next few months.

I plugged it in earlier at 49% and the dash said 20 hours to full!!

I have a charger at my local circle k (less than half a mile away). I'm waiting on my esb card and my chargepoint card to arrive then I'm set!! To be fair for the next while we are doing little to no miles bar the odd run to the supermarket or the local coffee shop so a charge will last ages.

ferg01 · 04-04-2021 06:54PM

Good to know, thanks for the info. I had seen that charging an EV might cause tripping. It won’t really bother me if it takes ages to charge fully, limited spins for a while here too!

Yes, you’ll be grand. What is your expected daily mileage?
You may only be topping up the battery after the first few days fills it.

Log in on the app and use the app to start and end the charge if you need the public eCar chargers I don’t actually carry the cards with me anymore.

Hi all,
Thinking about buying a Tesla but living in Galway I have some concerns.
If I need to get it serviced, is that always a trip to Dublin? It seems there’s only 1 Tesla garage in Ireland (I imagine service is a lot less frequent)
Similarly if it breaks down, would that be a tow to Dublin at my own cost? Or does Tesla cover that in warranty? Having had terrible luck with cars, breaking down is always my first concern ðŸ˜œ

They do have a mobile mechanic, known as a ranger, who can do some repairs at your home/workplace. Bigger stuff would need to be done in the Sandyford service centre - stuff requiring a lift/bigger equipment etc.

Bodywork - there are a few authorised shops around, one in Galway I believe.

They are generally reliable enough though so it wouldn't unduly prevent me from buying one, which i did .

If you make the leap, remember to use a referral code before ordering - can't really be added to an order afterwards.
You're welcome to mine if you need one - drop me a PM.

Thanks!
But away yet from buying one, but I’ll come back to this when I do ðŸ˜€

If I were getting a Model 3 LR, it would be non-white with the 19" wheels & I doubt Tesla will drop €8k off the current price to keep the grant.

Even after Berlin production starts? Some import duty off but higher labor costs. Hmm
Would you consider the tow hitch? They say it can't be added at a later stage.
I feel that Tesla will have a busy Q2 in Ireland. On the ordering page the estimated delivery is June. Are they actually good in these predictions or is June in Elon time?

teslad · 05-04-2021 01:16PM

Honestly, I've had my M3 back in Sandyford a lot of times - all small things and nothing that bothers me, but if I lived outside of Dublin I think it would have been a real problem.

Would just hope you are lucky and don't have any niggles with the car, though from what I hear there are a lot of niggly issues going around!

Some of my A/C problems, the car was in for 2-3 days and still not done as they had to order parts which seems to take weeks and weeks to arrive, FYI.

BUT it's all worth it, trust me!
