Do you mind us asking what you replaced it with?

I presume a BMW?

Audi ETron - I looked at changing into a 2021 LR Model 3, but cost to change was ridiculous

Tbh if I was serious I would have bought it sight unseen. Once you said it was yours then that would have been fine. I had one before from the service centre while my MSP was in there so know how they drive etc

So I told you I'd be back with stupid questions!!

I see the prices advertised for kWh. Roughly and I mean roughly how many units would it take to charge from 20% to 80%?

Again just a rough idea to get an idea of different charging prices.

Thanks.

Assume your on standard ESB rate per kWh.
Let’s call it 20c. I know it’s 18 or something along those lines but for simple maths let’s leave it at 20c. Then assume your car has 50 kWh battery.

50x20c is €10 for a full charge.
€10=100%.
€1 = 10%

So for every 10% charge costs you €1.

Quick basic figure to keep it easy in your head. There are charging cable losses etc but for simplicity €1 = 10%.

Pity you didn’t get to test drive it. I knew they were close to a sale on it last week.

20% to 80% in an SR+ is about 30kWh

SR+ has about a 50kWh usable battery, so every 1kWh is about 2% of charge.

As Gov announce new €60,000 cap on the €5,000 SEAI Grant – I assume this means only SR+ with limited configuration now qualifies (€53,657 pre grant)?

I charged to 80% on Tuesday night, drove ~165km's by Thursday afternoon, and was down to 22%
165km for 58% means 100% would get me about 284km (based on those few days conditions).

Based on your 212km for 80% - 100% would get you around 265km

Similar enough numbers, though I only did about 25-30 motorway km's, and the rest were a mix of urban & rural.

Between 145-150 I think

I was trying to get an idea of how much actual mileage I could get with SR+.

I charged my battery to full 2 weeks ago, and just went on doing grocery shopping etc every few days.

The battery turned yellow (20% left) after 212km, which includes around 40km on motorways doing 110-120km/h. The rest were all city driving.

Hi all

Looking if recommendations in a good car shampoo for say monthly hand wash on a car with ceramic coating.
Something with no added wax or gloss

Ta

What ceramic coating have you got?

The big players have washes to match their coatings with additives to maintain the base layer and boost hydrophobic properties.

Gtechniq have GWash.
CarPro have Reset.

I think I got caught doing 120ish in the 100 zone!
There’s was loads of cars with me so it’s a bet on which lane the van was limiting at.

The van can monitor up to 5 lanes at the same time from in both directions, according to RSA.

I saw less guards recently in and around the city, but much more speed vans, which is quite a pain when everyone drives a tiny bit more than the speed limit...

What Bollicks robbed the car from Frank keane I was having the mad notion ?

So we got our car today.

I really love the inside of it. Very minimalist and an air of quality of the materials used.

Was coming up the m50 doing around 90 and went to overtake a truck....foot down and "whoosh". Literally 120 in a couple of seconds....no delay, just bang and you are flying!!

Brought it home and the wife went for a spin. She drives an 840 BMW which is no slouch for a diesel. We went on to the m50 (inside our 5kms still) and she floored it on the slip road. It frightened the bejaysus out of her....her exact words "Jesus that is like being on a rollercoaster".

For the time being we will only charge from a 3 pin plug if needed or the local circle k has a charger so I'd like to try it to get used to the charging process. In reality we could probably go 3 weeks without charging as we aren't going anywhere soon!!

171 Model 3 sold in Feb, and 148 sold in March. Decent numbers, nearly half what was sold in all of last year.

The red line on the rear under where it says Dual Motor tells me it's a Performance....

I also think those shiny pedals only came as standard on the P (though they could be easily added later...)

Thats an incredible price for a 2019 P with only 8k km's on the clock!!!!!!!
Someone snap it up quickly before they realise it's worth a hell of a lot more than €55k

I have yet to charge at any public charger with covid restrictions an all .
Can people with more experience clear so things up for me .

If I'm going to a Tesla charger and pop it in the nav as destination the battery will start preconditioning automatically. Is that right ?

Can I precondition for non tesla DC chargers ESB/ ionity ? Does it work the same way or do I do something ?

Thanks

As regards insurance I used a Broker,
His name is Brian Byrne and his tel no is 01 6674985 . I got a good quote but I’m driving and insured for over 30 years!

Thanks for the video Wayne, that seems to be the issue alright. I haven't used a supercharger yet so I'll take a trip to one in the next few days to see if it makes a difference. At least its not an issue specific to my car!

Also Andy I haven't gotten my home charger sorted yet so thats good info on what speed I can expect.

Appreciate you guys taking the time to reply

Even on the standard "slow" chargers it never reaches anywhere near the expected speed.

What speed are you getting on slow (AC) chargers? and what speed are you expecting? Bear in mind the most any Model 3 can take on AC is 11kW (this is determined by the car's onboard AC charger)

You'll only get the full 11kW from a 3 phase charger like an eCars AC22kW unit.
At home, from a single phase domestic supply you'll get a maximum of 7kW only.

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster

Just have a quick question on the charging speed of the Model 3 SR+. I recently took delivery on mine and everything is great except that it seems to charge very slowly. For example using the Ionity 350 kw fast charger the max speed I was getting was 29 kw. This was at 40% battery and only after it was charging for about half an hour to ramp up to that speed. Similar story with the ESB 50 kw charger, max I got was 22 kw. Even on the standard "slow" chargers it never reaches anywhere near the expected speed.

I know there is new batteries and it charges slower than the LR but this seems excessively slow. Is anyone else's experience similar?

Thanks

Probably same things as explained in this video. TL;DR: SR+ has the LFP battery and seems to need a lot of preconditioning to take higher speeds:
