Yup!

I asked if the pickup was still an option at Sandyford and was told no.

I also couldn't respond to the text so I emailed my address over!

Prefer the home delivery to be honest. Easier to spot any issues.

I think you have 1 month to see if there are problems.

Yup, just responded with my address. Annoying it's an American number you have to text back to

Maybe this is a silly question but are we sure that the MIC SR+ comes with a heat pump??
Is it possible that the additional range comes from the extra LFP batteries?

This being the first batch of RHD MIC model 3s I suppose no one will really know what they come with until they arrive

Yeah, anyone want to offer up their brand new SR+ when they get it for a tear down so we can figure out once and for all what is and isn't included with it!!

No need for a tear down heat pump wise anyway. When you lift the hood up near the windscreen there's a grill for air con intake. On the old system there's 4 or 5 panels open like a grill. On heat pump only 2 panels are open the rest are solid

Will (SR+) have the heat pump, new door trim and LFP batteries. Just confirmed on live chat

When the Y was launched Musk promised ALL new Tesla's or refreshes would include a heat pump, line up now complete apart from refresh X

After chatting to Sandyford, I ordered earlier this week a Long Range AWD Model 3 from Inventory. I've been asked to pay be end Feb for delivery at end of Feb/Start of March. I can see my on my booking invoice with a MIC Vin.
Can't wait. Apologies to those who have been waiting a long time

Welcome aboard

On my trade in, after teslas "auction/trade" valuation, I went to the dealer who I bought the car from originally, and they offered me a much fairer price to buy the car back from me.

yeah, that's the norm..

Tesla dont deal with trade in's, they simply send your car details out to the trade, and whoever comes back with the highest offer, if the offer they give you....

Same for me - got 10k more than Tesla offered on trade in. And now that they are delivering the car to my house it’s all worked out perfectly.

Just curious whom you guys sell the old car to? Do you just contact some second-hand dealers in your area? Online or offline?

I had a trade-in offer from Tesla which is quite low, but when I get to some of the online car dealers, the price came back even lower.

I used this site:

https://www.usedcarbuyer.ie/

Eoghan was great to deal with.

I know others have used Autobuy and ZuCar

Dozz

ZuCar too. They are Joe Duffey motors

Great advice re where to offload an old car I thought these were dodgy sites - will give them a go - I was actually happy with the Tesla offer but didn’t think it would come to fruition.

I phoned one of those lads a few years back as I had a S-Max that wasn't shifting for me, got a decent offer so said I'd go for it with them.
Never heard from them again once I accepted their offer...

Got a call from Tesla today. 1st contact after placing order in Oct
Was told Model 3 performance orders pushed back to end of May with the 2nd quarter shipment. Brexit was the excuse. Asked me to switch to a Long range instead for faster delivery.
My very 1st order was in July 2019 (when orders opened up) and cancelled the order when they didn't deliver as promised in Feb 2020. (Because they kept postponing deliveries)
Now this!!! Beginning to think its not meant to be

They can be very frustrating to deal with alright. You nearly get more information in here than from the dealers.

Tesla ordering works like this: you put an order down with a small deposit and eventually get a car with whatever parts Tesla happen to be throwing together at the time.

It's simultaneously idiotic and absolutely fine.

But so so worth it in the end.

But so worth it when it does arrive. It’s a great machine!

Don't know if this is new or not but the Irish Tesla site is now showing UK stock as available New Model 3 current inventory, pricing in Euros.
41 cars there at the minute...moving on non MIC perhaps?
