Phone with key card in wallet as backup.
Phone, with card in wallet also as back up.
Every now and then the doors won't unlock, so simply unlocking the phone is enough to wake it up which will then unlock the doors.
Reminder also for all the soon to be new owners; I'd suggest enabling Pin to Drive once you get the car, as a lost wallet (containing key card) or phone and it means someone can take your car..... Pin to Drive is the last line of defence.
Anyone using iWatch app? At least if removed from your wrist needs a pin to use.
I did the PIN for 3 months and it wrecked my head after a while. Ive never lost my phone and my other half has her phone as a key so if it was ever carjacked we would be able to locate it on her phone easy enough. But then again I lease my car through my company so I would be 'slightly' less security conscious than if I owned it outright.
Tesla have a real chance to take on the entry level car buyer with the M2 if they get it right. But their record on their ability to actually deliver on time means this will most likely be a missed opportunity, especially if the chinese manufacturers manage to get a foothold.
Then again, owning an M2 may have a badge status in the EV world that sets it apart especially with younger buyers. Im still amazed how many kids recogonise a Tesla over every other car.
Musk said on the financial results call this week that the M2 isn’t even a project that’s currently under way, nor will even be announced this year, because “we have too much on our plate”. They manufactured 1 S/X for every 20 3/Y, so they are in reality a 2 model manufacturer for the next few years.
if they announced it tonight, you wouldn’t see an m2 here in Ireland for 3-4 years, so I’d assume you’ll see it here around 2027/8 - by which point we’ll have a lot of options already selling for years in that category.
while the Y might be a sales leader in the US market, there’s no way it will sell more than the base m3 here in Ireland. It’s too expensive to be mass-market.
on the point of kids noticing teslas over other cars, mine do that too, they used to spot Porsches - but I’d describe it as being the same as them being able to recognise an iPhone versus a random android phone.
has to be a mistake... it's always been 11kW
It's 11kW in Europe and APAC, only it's 7kW in US. This is because in the US all AC charging is single phase. The NA onboard charger for the SR+ is 32a and the LR/P get 48a. Equivalent to 7kW/11kW here respectively.
All true, however it’s hard to see tesla maintain the sales volume of the 3 here in Ireland for the next 3-5 years until deliveries of something new comes. the base model 3 is the best EV on the market imho, but there’s only been 1,600 sold here since late 2019, when you consider the MASSIVE hype and excitement we saw in the lead in to deliveries. The Y deliveries won’t touch that volume nor excitement.
the 3 was announced 6 years ago in just a few weeks. Imagine the EV landscape here in Ireland in 3-5 years time.
Don't believe everything you hear from that crew, I spoke to to them many times in my 6 months wait. Depends on your spec. If its white you may have a chance.
I don’t but fyi white with aero was/is a May delivery. Any other colour was March.
A load of inventory cars appeared on the UK Tesla site today. Saw loads of white RWDs. Moat gone now as folks with reservations phone up and asked to be matched to those inventory cars.
I reckon a RoRo ship made it through the Suez canal and it's cargo became available. Wonder will something similar happen for Ireland.
When I ordered in August any colour was in September the website is like let's say a "guideline" a very inaccurate guideline. I don't mean to p*ss on your chips here just don't get expectations up too much cause it will wreck your head 😉.
Also I know a good few guys in December who changed their specs to match what was becoming available (basically whatever colour they had available (mainly white and grey). Possibly could have gotten a grey one but they would then charge me the Dec price which was 1k more than August price because they treat it as a "new order".
B**tards! 😜
Got a mail that will be assigning a Vin soon, seen as already have an EV now I'll be declining. So Blue SR for someone else.
That's the spec I ordered, so let's see
Yep that was the spec alright.... They'll probably sort out one of the mates who ordered a few weeks ago first🤣
When did you order?
Does anyone have an email address for the Service Delivery Team that would handle Irish orders?
DeliveryIE@tesla.com is the email I’ve been using to communicate with them with my RN number as the subject
Jan 20th
Given it took 6 months (3 delivery quarters) for me to get allocated, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for allocation after 9 days.
But who knows with the randomness of Telsa.
Yeah, my expectations are low! :-)
When I ordered, the website was saying March Delivery (and still does for that configuration) - let's see!
Yeah see what happens, in the end I'm happy with my premium plus ioniq 5 got a VIN the day of my order and the car 5 weeks later.
Only thing I'm still p*ssed off with is those Tesla p***ks still have 100 euro of my hard earned cash.
Nice figures they get to keep. €100 for each person that pulls out. That's 100k with only 1000 people. Very easy to hit 1000 and more worldwide.
Yep great screw the customer business model. If I've convinced just one person not to buy one to that'll do for me 😂.
Hope you enjoy your ioniq 5, maybe for your own sanity you should stop bitchin about the car you didn't buy and enjoy the one you did
I see are saying 2023 for the higher spec EV6, hard to believe there's such little demand for the Ioniq that they're available straight away. Got a text from Tesla offering me a Model 3 in March last week so hopefully all orders from last year will be fulfilled this quarter.
Did you not see the ship that docked in cork, biggest car carrier ever in Ireland 500 odd Hyundai/Kia ev in December and another ship the same size in January. There nearly more ev's from Hyundai in one month than M3's in the last 3 years.
I luckily kept in touch with the dealer when I was looking at M3 or Ioniq 5 last August. I went with M3 because the "delivery" team said I'd get a car quickly.
Hyundai guy was honest and said Jan, I gave him a bell around November to see if there were any cancellations and I got one, someone wanted premium rather than premium plus so I snapped up the premium plus.
Also have a read of the text they are doing the same thing again checking if people still want to their order (likes of me for instance).
Don't count your chickens till you have a VIN in your source 😉
Your text along the lines of below without the 2022 reg
The ioniq 5 are selling fast you be waiting few months for one similar to EV6 and model 3 there great cars no matter which one you pick.
