For sale/wanted (cars/parts/etc)

It will be very expensive, likely even impossible to buy (only to rent) if / when it becomes level 4/5. Big risk to take I admit if you are likely only keeping the car for 2-3 years

That's very decent. So Tesla will have to pay you cash? We were wondering how that would work.

I'm looking for a 10m granny charger. Ideally adjustable current but a 10a fixed one is okay too. Screwfix have one that is fixed 10a but just jumped the price up by €40 t0 €250.....Just said I'd check here first incase anyone had a spare

Thanks. Still looks like one it would allow 13a from a normal plug which I agree is dangerous, not as daft as 16a form a domestic socket tho!!

Think I will ahve to go with the screwfix one but it does not have any heat sensing in the plug I confirmed with MasterPlug. It for second car so I tried out my own car yesterday at 10a in my house and socket was warming considerably. Socket was 20 years old and not sure on brand. I replaced it with a new MK socket and very little heating now.

Plan is to buy the screwfix 10a 10m cable and just replace the garage socket in mother-in-laws with a brand new mk socket too

Sent you a PM

Where are you based? What phone do you have Android or iPhone? Best to get someone with working one to meet up.

I'm based in Leinster. Have an Android phone. Yeah if you know of anyone with one that works that would be a great help.

I test drove an ex-demo 221 ionq 5 Executive Plus 58kw in white 3200km  yesterday but decided I'd hold out for the Airya. Dublin based dealer looking for €43995 , he said only became available yesterday morning so I'd say it'll sell fast. I'm not affiliated in anyway with dealership but I thought there could be some on here who might be interested so can send details by PM.

go to tesla.ie

buy a 4 m 3 phase type 2 cable for 99 euro delivered.

Here I saved you some time, https://shop.tesla.com/en_ie/product/type-2-adapter---32a

That makes it the cheapest type 2 cable I have yet seen, carbuncle. Nice one :-)

Tesla just do bargains sometimes. The CHAdeMO adapter for years went second hand for €300-€500 on eBay and now you can get one for €99 from Tesla. Including shipping. I'd say that might be below cost. There might be a strategy behind it. Buy now we want to get rid of existing stock. Once sold out, we won't make them anymore and you will have to get your older Tesla upgraded to CCS. Or something like that.

its cheap to sell things on the web so I suppose even if they had 20 around the cost of sale is not much for Tesla, and as you say at least than cost better to sell

i buy cable and connectors of various types for my business and for quality items for ev cables to be used a lot, dropped etc, too cheap might mean replacing often.

I agree re charge points. you can get basic ones new for just over €200 and that’s all you really need if you have working timers in your car and use night rate. Again though too cheap and the weather will get them and relays may burn out.

I got a new tethered zappi in 2019 for €590 inc. vat from electric autos but now they are €1,000 - they are a good bit more complicated with functions for solar of course. I bought mine with the intention of using solar pv and without doing the maths but I have still to install panels - net after install and grant was around €200

a cheap dumb point inc easy install and e stop could be done for zero after grant, a zappi for solar would cost at least €600 more. If you got 10kwh of excess free solar a day for 150 days a year and you were paying 10c a unit nightrate that’s at least 4 years to pay for the extra for the zappi - and I doubt many would hit that solar generation for 150 days for the car, and a decent fit might make it not worthwhile at all or at least increase payback

my brother went for it anyway for the craic and as I have mine of course I will use it when I get the panels up - until a fit comes in at more than night rate! (Never)
