He got the Brighton registration number. The car must have been assigned to someone else, and they only realised it now, and found that there's no more matching car in the inventory...

I'd be definitely gutted.

I think this (above) may be the reason but they were very nice and we discussed options but they do not have another with my spec (White & Black interior is the deal breaker with my wifey) so its just a matter of waiting. (& yes...gutted)

Just got a call from Tesla with the 'its not you its me' speech and I have been moved back to May. :-(
It was 10th of March

That's a shocker. Sorry to hear that. I'd be fairly pissed I have to say

Expensive considering new 2021 Refresh model is only 2k more. But you have to wait for it.

Also, a member of the FB Group had his 2019 SR+ advertised on adverts, donedeal etc for €39,995 which was a good price and it sold in a week.

How are Tesla for trade ins, buddy looking and trying to dig up some info

Tesla don't do trade ins.
They take your details sight unseen and send it into the trade. They have a few dealers that price it, they also price it sight unseen so have to take this into account and offer way way below trade value, never mind trade in value or private value. Lower than trade value is what tesla will offer you.

I'll weigh all that came off, but I'm guessing its between 800g - 1kg

You should then by calculation be able to demonstrate an increase in range

If only you see my ranting in the last few pages

They initially gave me an offer that was better than the ones I received elsewhere. And they confirmed that it is the final price...

But then after I paid the balance, last week they changed the trade-in price without any email/phone notification. When I confronted them, they said their confirmation was a mistake and although they were sorry for the trouble, they would have to give me a much lower offer.

I literally have no choice but to accept their new offer, because it was impossible to find a new buyer and close off the deal before the tax rate changes back.

If you have time, do a bit of research and sell your car elsewhere. Their trade-in department is quite a joke and their internal communications between different teams are non-existent until the very last minute (which can be again seen here on decp).

That's really shocking. Tesla surely need to bring someone in the up their game on the communications side.

No, needs to be minimum 2.5mm thick, and it’s only about 1mm thick.

I’ll put the originals back on when it comes time for 1st NCT.

Thank you. I have contacted the broker in Limerick and am awaiting a quote. Fingers crossed !

I am still on the smelling salts after my dealings with insurance companies earlier this morning.

To follow up on this thread, the lowest quote so far was approx €1,100 from the broker in Limerick. The rest were all more than €2k for company insurance with (essentially) one driver.

This seems crazy.

How many years of NCB do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

I have 4 years 11 months NCB with my current car. If I choose 4 years NCB I get only 2 quotes from all the major insurance companies online. If I choose 5 I get a valid quote from almost all of them and they are generally in the range of 650-1000.

Got them from eireplates.....

Ordered on Monday, arrived yesterday (front & rear) €48 all in. (If I have to destroy them when NCT comes up, then so be it, I’ll simply buy a new set again).

You won’t have to destroy them.

Get a 3M Command strip. Put one each side of a plastic number plate holder and stick them on.

Then they should come off easy as you pull them down.

You know those sticky things that leave no residue or marks on walls.
I have kids around the house as tea towel holders, in the bathroom etc

Minor thing but it would drive me nuts that the blue stripe doesn’t stretch all the way up to the black border.

You can get borderless ones

Border looks nice on the white though.

A black border is also a requirement as per the regulations...

So if the thickness isn’t all there, at least everything else is up to scratch...

Finally got around to fitting the mud flaps there (because it's not freezing or pi$$ing rain!!!).

Handy enough and job done in less than 5 minutes.

I put mine one a few weeks back - great job. Did you have the ones with the mudflap extensions?

This works well, although I only use it for Disney+ (for the rugrats :P) and the full screen web browser.

That is a sweet mod. Just think of how much you're going to save due to an extended range thanks to your reduced drag co-efficient...

Anyone who has taxed their M3? I got my reg number yesterday (finally) but when I tried to tax it online, the motor tax.ie says my CO2 emission is 34 instead of 0, and therefore charges me a higher rate.

Surely a fully electric car would be zero emission? Or am I missing something?

Hi Sam W. I'm in the same boat. Your local motor Tax office can't do anything about this. Email and ring Tesla about it and don't let them fob it off on anyone else.

J-W · 28-02-2021 09:20AM

For F's sake I'm in the same boat.
The old school tax form filled out by tesla on my account says zero CO2.
If I was to go through the hassle of posting that it in . Would I not pay the correct price.

So surly it's revenue we need to contact ?

WayneEnterprise · 28-02-2021 09:28AM

I had same issue with a car years ago, dealer put it down as incorrect band. It was the dealer who needed to fix it. At that time he had to bring the car to NCT centre to be certified on correct band. Dunno how it will work with new cars though.

Luckily my M3 was ok. Hope you get it sorted but I’d definitely be hassling Tesla instead of revenue.

I called Revenue, they said to contact motor tax in Shannon. They aren't answering phones due to Covid........ I emailed them and got an email back with a load of links that brought me back to Revenue........

As I said get on to Tesla and don't let them fob you off on someone else.
Also local motor Tax office will charge you what's on the computer as linked to the car reg. They can't change it
