    folks putting down €50-70k cash with no clear delivery date are fully entitled to phone every single day if they want :)

    Nobody has put down any cash.

    The staff in Sandyford haven't a clue when the cars will be delivered. Completely pointless to ring them unless you want to waste your own time and wind yourself up even further.

    Maybe they should channel their efforts in putting together an effective communication plan and work on responding to queries within a few days rather than weeks!

    Having spoken to them directly I believe they are non the wiser than us. The decisions are made above their pay grade and subject to change at short notice. I am sure their job is quite stressful at the moment- pestering them is unhelpful, unkind and a complete waste of time in my view

    No one has paid anything yet other than a refundable deposit.
    The phone staff aren't any more up to date than we are.

    You may wait. A 50k car is a lot to you (and me) but remember, it's the cheapest car Tesla ever sold so for them it's small change

    for sure
    They aren't going to be able to help
    It's like asking a dealer when the new model is coming out (eg for the leaf 40)
    We were told by Nissan Ireland that the leaf 40 would have 3 phase AC and thermal management!!

    Everyone has put 2k down fully refundable. You can cancel your order online, send them an email. Phoning them takes up a lot of their time and yours.

    I think people are mistaking Tesla showroom for a normal car dealership. Its all centralized in the US and its all online. The benefit of this is that every gets the same low price, there is not price gouging between territories. The downside is that the people in the dealership have no control over what happens.

    If you want to Victor Meldrew them fire ahead, but it wont make your car turn up any sooner. If you dont buy it somebody else will immediately, the more people cancel the sooner I get my car, and I will take mine on December 31st if its ready.

    You can only cancel by email once you have configured the car, no option online.

    Plenty of people paid a deposit without configuring a car, at least 180 in Ireland. My point is that you cannot cancel online, you are then at the mercy of the email response by Tesla to even initiate the process.

    Well come and join the agonizing wait.
    Out of curiosity what was your invoice number? Would be nice to get a rough idea of the number of orders in Ireland

    I am 599 order number so I got to get used to waiting. Still Tesla are clever there are 3 trim levels, 6 colours, two interiors and everything else is software...so only 36 variants, they can ship whatever and its likely they will have the cars your after...

    What about AWD and RWD? Software also?

    Standard is RWD both the others performance and long range are dual motor so AWD, actually only 5 colours, white, black, blue, grey and red, and two interiors black and white. The autodriving option is software. So actually only 30 variants and I suppose they know what colour are more popular so they can produce away without any notion what been ordered and just sort it out once they are landed. So it may be that somebody who orders a rare performance in white gets it first while somebody after a black on black long rage has to wait longer.

    I’m just speculating but I’d imagine the batches they try to shift out the door ASAP are the ones with higher margin specs to make everyone feel comfortable with the next earnings call.

    Where do you find your invoice number? I ordered last week, only have the order agreement document with no invoice number.

    Edit: realised I was in the UK site, changed to Ireland and an additional document is added about gray markets??
