Anyone here got the new M3 RWD yet? Just interested how the new motor compares to the older one.
Nothing as yet on YouTube. (That I can see)
I had been wondering about myself. 3 phase obviously doesn’t have any major benefit for a house. Thanks for the good info.
Lesson learned - if you're getting finance with First Auto Finance, enter Finance Ireland Limited as the lender name. Finance Ireland are the parent company. I used first auto and the system didnt recognise it natively. I was stuck on a pre payment step and couldn't see that I'd been assigned a VIN for the last two weeks.
Updated now and I have a VIN to go off.
Yep,
Time to charge my car from 0% to 100% on single phase: ~7 hours
Time to charge my car from 0% to 100% on 3 phase: ~4.5 hours
I can't ever envisage a situation where I'd need to charge at home from 0-100% quicker than 5-6 hours...
I love when lads talk about 3 phase in their house....the standing charge is over 100 euro per month just for the connection, and installation costs are by the meter could be 10k. Its for hotels and industrial units that need to run heavy machinery. Even then the charging rate on a tesla is only slightly (37%) quicker on 3 phase. Its a total waste of time.
Reminds me of this scumbag ex Garda who wanted a 3 phase connected to his house. Despite the whole inside of the house including the mains cable from meter box to fuse board single phase. He was a right prick. I think he is dead now but point of post is he could run a cable from meter box to a 3 phase electric charge point as he has a 3 phase connected from pole to meter box which went to waste till now so current owner of house could use the 3 phase supply.
edit: 3 phase supply went to waste for over 20 years now.
Also started the wipers when trying to reverse, and recently looking for the blind spot camera in the dash
Don’t worry the 3 phase zappi is for work location which is 3 phase so all good
Reading about it on a uk forum. People saying the frame held up without much deflection.
Makes the interior a pretty safe place to be.
You still need 3 phase supply.
That the MY22 Model Tree or a nissan Leaf? Hope the driver was Oak K,
But do you have a 3 phase supply to the location where the charger will go?
if not you should have just got the cheaper 7kW Zappi.
Ok that would be super if correct as we have 3 phase zappi
Yes. I’m in my second MS and I still walk away from our 520d forgetting to lock it !!!
The thing about front tints is that’s there’s no legal one available.
Even the ones that say they are NCT legal, when they added to the factory glass, they drop below the level.
Now in a new car you’ll have 4 years to not worry about it 😀
I just assumed we were talking about the 22kw posts here.
I assume everyone knows they can only get 7kw/32a at home.
I had a 2019 model 3 P- and sold it in October, was going to buy an SR+ would have been more or less a straight switch money wise to the SR+ but after the test drive I decided I'd miss the few horses so got a black mic model 3 performance, it was only 4k more expensive than a LR when you add the 19 inch wheels, so no brainer really
For any 2 car households here, anyone here keep leaving the other car unlocked because used to the Tesla locking after you walk away with your phone? I think I have done it dozens of times, even leaving keys sitting in the other car overnight from time to time. 🙄
would you really want/need the screen swivel?
I don’t think I’ve ever been driving the car and thought I could do with the screen angled towards me….
Car has capacity for 11kw if connected to 3 phase charger but will drop to 7kw for 1 phase. So it depends on your domestic charger spec and setup.
I believe all the 3’s are 11kw. The very first batch were limited to 7kw back in 2019 but seemly upped to 11 in 2020 sometime.
I’m in the same boat. Tesla offering really good trade in for my S not sure if I’ll be happy dropping to the RWD (coming from a P).
Double glazed and privacy glass seem to the a Y thing at the moment alright but not sure if I like the Y over the 3 one thing I don’t like is petty, no parcel shelf!
11kW on 3 phase supply
Yep done it a few days ago.....
Believe all model 3 variants are 7kwh for single phase at ~230v

I see EUKOR are shipping for Tesla now (Morning Carina and a few sister ships).
Another of the sister ships landed directly in cork last month (Hyundai, Kia) 700 odd cars in one go there just 12 hours
It's a shame Tesla wouldn't do the same for the Irish market, surely logistically cheaper than offloading Zeebrugge and bringing smaller RoRo from there.
Maybe it's to do with logistics in Ireland as the all are delivered from one location, definitely potential to scale up deliveries easily.
Do we know if latest RWD M3 charges on AC at 11kwh or 7kwh?
That doesn't sound too promising supply wise, there was people who ordered start of Jan and got VIN in very short time (couple of weeks).
Then short availability for May and jump straight to August. Of course there is demand but you'd expect a bigger window.
They had Q2 delivery slots last week. You could have got one in May but they’ve all been sold.
Slave, tell me this. If someone was to order a M3 LR this week, what’s the most up to date spec now that will arrive in august. Essentially what will the car have over lest say the 2021 LR they have in inventory.
Has that order been built just yet and sitting in china or will it be built and shipped.
