There was no option to delay. I had waited long for 2021 refresh so was happy to go ahead.

Exactly this. Another December 2020 taker here and never gave it a second thought. I don't buy into the whole rego BS that the car industry marketing machine has very cleverly got many irish consumers focused on. Any discerning used car buy looks past this and focuses on whats important - mileage, servicing & upkeep.

More over, Tesla don't follow typical model update cycles - only need to look at the M3 as evidence of this.

mouthful

I got 2021.4.5

no Disney do not need it but am surprised.

no auto dimming mirrors - my car is an early 2020 model 3. Assume it was built at the time Tesla temporally removed the auto dimming mirror hardware?

anyone else

innrain

2021.24.4

Auto diming yes

Disney+ no

Wifi on during drive yes

Disney+ most likely not available due to geographical licensing restrictions. It will be available in some markets, but not others.

If you want Disney+ (and other services), mark this as a favourite on the web browser

1. Open web browser
2. Go to following website: https://abettertheater.com/
3. Hit link "GO FULLSCREEN"
4. Wait until Youtube screen loads - then select "Go to site"
5. Choose Disney and enter login details (browser will remember these for next time).

For folks with Solar PV and a Zappi, what way do you set the schedule in the car? No schedule at all, and just set the Zappi to charge the car when there is excess Solar available?

And then lets say its the night before a big trip and you want to charge to 90% would you then set the schedule in teh car to charge (at night rates), and doing this do ou also need to change a setting on the Zappi?

(Hopefully getting an up to 4kW Solar PV system installed soon, and previously thought I was only limited to a 2kW system, so car charging wouldn't work, but with the 4kW system it could work out as the car is parked on the driveway most of the daylight hours)

How does the Tesla Wall connector integrate with the Tesla Solar roof & Powerwall given that its only a basic 'dumb' charger. If I got a Powerwall, could I then keel my Wall connector instead of going with a Zappi?

You set to Eco+ to only charge from excess solar and let it sit there.

If you know you need a full charge for the following day you can still leave it in Eco+ but set a "Boost timer". It can be a set amount of kWh's or it can be a set start/stop time. You can also do things like.... "Ensure you give me 30kWh's by 8m tomorrow". It will sit and charge with excess Solar all day today but it will keep one eye on the 30kWh's and it will guarantee that it will add that 30kWh's by the set time by pulling from the grid towards the end. Basically, lots of options.

Im not aware that the Tesla wall connector has any Solar integration, unless that has changed recently.

This new Board, grrr, can't selectively quote.

Andy, saw your posts oven on Renewables Forum, plaster your roof, don't stop a 4kW.

For the scenario above you set your Z2 to Eco++ during the bright days, however in order for the Z2 to charge at night you need to change it to FAST mode.

Good news is that you can do this from the MyEnergi app if you have it, else from the front screen of the Z2 itself

Stick a ">" in front of a piece of text and it will do the same job for ya.... like i did above.

Wouldnt a "Boost timer" be better though? Changing it to fast mode means you might forget that its in fast mode the following day and come home and plug it in and it will start immediately. The boost timer gives you a full schedule and options to work with to suit your needs and it will revert to Eco+ mode once the boost is done.

Indeed. You need the MyEnergi hub to enable the app.

Btw if you want to totally nerd out, you can follow the progress of your Tesla (assuming you have the right ship) using https://www.marinetraffic.com/, and also on this forum - one of the guys kindly gives daily updates on Tesla shipments globally: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2021-shipping-movements.217602/page-82

I found it helped to deal with the excitement of waiting (I took delivery of SR+ in June)

Had my car parked at Dublin Airport for a week and found a big spit on the windshield. Sentry mode was on but all I had was one single message ‘video not available’ with tons of security alert. I guess it’s just someone being annoyed by the flash, but still not satisfied that the video isn’t working.

I triggered another sentry alert this morning just to see if it’s working, and it turns out to be working fine. Just that all the vids in the airport were not working.

AndyBoBandy

I find the dashcam/sentry mode to be very hit and miss..

It will randomly stop writing to the card and not inform you... its only when you go to save a file, or view sentry events, or just simply check that the little red dot is on indicating its recording that you realise you are driving around with no dashcam...

I use a Sandisk High Endurance microSD card in a card reader, so it's not like I've cheeped out on the storage medium...

I would love a pop up warning message to say that dashcam is not recording (for whatever reason) when the feature is turned on in the security menu.

Check on the computer. The video player in the car often will say the video is not available but found them on the storage.

Sam W

In retrospect I should have done that… I’ve already deleted the unavailable footage as there doesn’t seem to be any visible damage on the car anyway.

Quick question - if a model 3 is ordered, what is the latest time it could be cancelled?, is it anytime before delivery?

Kramer

Yep. You'll lose the €100 deposit obviously, but until you've paid, you can walk away.

You can even pay & return it within 14 days/1,000km for a full refund too, unless they've changed that policy recently. I'd check if doing that but I'd say that's a rarity.

jusmeig

I think the lights flashing on sentry mode is complete overkill and draws unnecessary attention to the car.

If the alarm is triggered, 100% flash lights and do whatever...but for someone walking by in a car park it flashes them

Usually the investigate WTF is going on, see the recording screen and move on....or take offence!

You can reject the car upon delivery, e.g. poor paintwork or anything else you deem annoying

Sam W

Or you can just not pay the balance :)

Got an upgrade today to 2021.24.5 but nothing new in the Release Notes. And it was pretty small as it dowloaded during the drive to school.

mfceiling

Updated app still not available on Android. Any idea as to when we'll get it?

I got it 2days ago, have you checked the play store to see if it's available?

AndyBoBandy

Since the refresh app came, I’ve since had 2 updates of it….. iOS

€433 with 123.ie for fully comp. Glad I shopped around.

Checked the current new price of my M3P, was expecting a bit of a bump, but it's €9000 more expensive!!

I asked Tesla for a trade in valuation, for the craic... 1 year ago they offered 55k.

Maybe I should get an i3 33kwh to tie me over until the i4 M50 gets here... Galway so far doesn't have great access to superchargers... and I'll probably be able to charge an i3 there by the time Enfield opens up 😢

FocusST

What is the lead time on orders at the moment for LR's?

Kramer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117880438#Comment_117880438

Tesla make the majority of deliveries at the end of each quarter, so in March, June, September & December. If you ordered a Model 3 today, if you were lucky, it could be ready this month, assuming the spec you want is already here/on the way & not allocated yet.

The likelihood though is you'd be in for a Q4 car, with delivery in December.

Don't forget to use someone's referral for your free supercharging btw - PM me if you need one.

Usually they will have a few unallocated cars for SR+ and LR when cars are shipped out. Performances are more scarce here though.

Just noticed with 2021.4 I now have the option to buy an upgrade for acceleration boost, wasn’t there before.
