    Our whole country is less important to Tesla than a small % of one much more significant market where there are real threats to profitability soon.

    Tesla is only doing what it should do, maximise profits.

    What was the point of being a reservation holder for 3.5 years if you don't get any priority on delivery?

    Can see the queues around the block for reserving Model Y based on 3 rollout.

    That happened.
    It also happened in UK if you use the exchange rates on the day that announcement was made.

    Cheapest Model 3 you can get here is €48,900 ($54,080) with incentives of €5000.

    The $35,000 which they barely scrape in USA is AFTER incentives not before as promised.

    It is before incentives.
    People paid less than 28k in california for the SR model that listed at 35k.


    They never promised a 35k global model. Anyone (and I said this here multiple times) expecting a 35k EUR model 3 was and is deluded.

    People also forget they have to get the car from the US to Dublin.

    They've gotten them to remote RHD New Zealand already and next-door to the RHD UK in increasing volumes. Think the point here - and why people are so pissed off - is that they've ignored us completely and kept pushing back their own projected delivery dates.

    That said, I think a lot of folks were expecting a P to come in at ~€60k final price here, not over 70 ...

    Even the "reporters" at the "launch" event in Sandyford were reporting prices as 10k lower than they were - i.e. they seem to have been told a price that was (assumed?) to be before the incentives. I think there is a VRT reduction as well as the 5k from the SEAI too.

    @bdogg you would think if they even shipped 10 of the UK cars/week here it would get good press out and start some word of mouth plus reduce the amount of hassling the Sandyford folks are no doubt getting.

    Very, very odd.

    I just hope we get some "thank you" gift, lower price or some newer tech in the cars ... or all of those.

    UK and Ireland, and Australia/NZ are approximately the same distance from san francisco.

    I was referencing the original price in USA being a lot lower than ours, costs more to get it here.

    The point from Edd horse is in relation to the price of the car - ie the cost of shipping from US is another cost that has to be included in the price .

    The Irish delivery situation is becoming farcical though

    If you are not using Tesla finance and are prepared to collect the car in the UK, what is to stop you ordering there? Is it the 6month criteria? (Plenty of "as new" models for sale too)

    People prefer to give out than think of alternatives.
    The Model 3's will all get here and we will be all delighted.
    And they all lived happily ever after.
    The End.

    Very true but no fun in that !!
    I'm guessing it's going to be dilema time come Nov at this point.... Accept a 192 or defer until Q1 (end) for a 201 reg. I see the delivery date for a new order is showing Nov now... (might be like that for a while). I'm hoping giving I'll get a delivery in Jan given how far down the list I am... (ordered in early Jul).

    The VAT makes it prohibitively expensive. The VRT I could live with.

    ah yeah this is a bit of a fecking joke, I'm only waiting 3 months or so, but they lads in Sandyford were saying maybe july, definitely late August.......lying through their teeth, now its maybe November/December. it is after all a €65K car and they won't even tell us anything. If this crap continues on till next year, I don't think I'll have the patience and either buy a used model S from the UK or just go in to my friendly BMW dealer who I'm sure will have no hassle taking my 65 grand.

    And then it would make you seriously concerned about them, being able to deal with warranty or service issues in a timely manner. Tesla have treated the Irish customers with absolutely no respect, its not like they are cheap cars

    There will not be any happily ever after if there is anything wrong with the car or it develops a fault, is involved in an accident requiring new parts, or it just spontaneously decides to burst into flames and immolates itself.

    They leak - boot fills up with water. In freezing weather there are slew of problems: https://electrek.co/2018/11/14/tesla-model-3-cold-weather-flaws/

    There is also the air-con mold smell problem where the car reeks.

    Possibly a Stupid question but on Tesla's Model 3 configurator you build out your desired model and at the end it shows as €57k, which is using the 5k SEAI grant.

    But it shows a 5,400 VRT, I thought 5k of the VRT was part of the grant too. Do Tesla's not qualify for that?

    Yeah, there was a company selling a defeat device commercially and Tesla shut them down I think.

    Re: FSD - anyone spring for it? I watched a couple of videos of FSD in Model 3 in the UK and it seemed pretty helpless in UK towns. I had FSD but dropped it. The autopilot on motorway is the only one I'll use. The autoparking and summon seem finicky too - will add FSD in a couple of years if it improves.

    I think that VRT already has the 5k grant included, I am unable to do the calculations to get to that number though (SR+ VRT is around 2300 in the config page)

    Looks like DC Motor Co still haven’t gotten their Model 3s in - do they definitely buy in from the UK? Might head out there this weekend to see what the story is.
