Got the latest update this evening. 2022.12.1.
Now has Disney+ (No interest to me). Some other changes that will be of interest to those who liked the old software before Christmas. More apps available on toolbar, for me I like the heated front seats now available beside temperature controls and heated steering wheel also.
Still no sign of the time left on Spotify? Stupid black bar moving across the screen. How long is left on this song? 7 centimetres.
Thanks @slave1 for detailing your number plate re installing above.
Did mine today, front and back. Found a roll of this in the house: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorilla-Tape-3044101-Double-Mounting/dp/B01DT6XGUC/ref=sr_1_11?crid=PT1OGBMG7EPS&keywords=gorilla+tape&qid=1649954160&s=industrial&sprefix=gorilla+tape%2Cindustrial%2C57&sr=1-11
Very easy to do, rear bracket was only held on by one screw onto backing plate, was rattly when closing boot. Sounds much better now.
Front I left the curved inner mounting plate there. Just removed the number plate from its' plastic bracket and stuck it directly to curved mounting plate.
Think it looks a lot neater.
Looks great...am nervous about tackling mine
No need to be, you can always revert back if need be. The number plate pops out of the old bracket, then just a simple matter of screwing off. Just don't use too much tape if using the Gorilla tape I used, it is very strong.
I like how little things about this car make me smile. Last week on a back road in the middle of Connemara there was a sheep on the road.
And, the centre console had a little animated sheep on the display in front of the car.
Who the heck even thought about programming that in - the little one got a giggle out of it, that's for sure.
It sure loves Wheelie Bins..😁
Looks well, are you keeping the aero covers on too?
Picked up a new model 3 long range this week... So far very happy with it. I had a performance on order but when I saw a LR in stock elsewhere I went for it.
Thinking of ordering a performance 3 but quick question - I'm based out of Dublin. Will I be able to make a one-way trip to anywhere on the island on a full charge without any stress of suboptimal conditions/etc. requiring a charge on the way? I've been reading about how the real world range is significantly worse than the advertised range (under perfect conditions?).
Depends what "anywhere on the island" means. Motorway mileage eats the battery.
I'm sitting here in Dublin on 92% in my M3P and I'm about to head to Dungannon in Co Tyrone. Navigation is telling me I'll get there with 44% left. (172kms).
I'll still take a quick top up in castlebellingham. It's approx half way so I'll use the toilet and grab a coffee.
I would think the far extremities would be pushing it tbh.... somewhere like Clifden or Skibberren might be out of range without a quick stop at an SuC.
I had to look those places up on the map...You really don't think Skibberren would be doable? Google maps is showing 339km...and the m3p is supposed to have 547km of range...Is motorway driving really that draining?
Yeah motorway eats up range a bit in the m3p, but definitely do 420-450 kms on a full charge at this time of the year if you take it a bit easier
But you have to factor in how will I charge the car when I get there. Just as easy to stop some way along the journey just to top up. Like 15-20 mins of a stop just to cover yourself. Like you probably would do the journey on one charge but arrive and all you have to charge it is a granny cable.
Did Blanchardstown to Tralee yesterday with 25% battery remaining. Left fully charged at 100%.
280km trip; approximately 230km motorway driving at 120km/h. Probably averaged 80 km/h after that factoring in traffic.
This is a 2022 RWD so very happy with that result. Weather was quite good so I'm sure that helped but honestly was expecting it to do worse than that, especially on the motorway leg of the journey.
No floor mats as standard and now no home plug thrown in.
Tesla are becoming apple.
Must be very recent they are not included? In March both were included
Yep decision yesterday. Bit of a dick move tbh especially given the price of these vehicles.
Floor mats still included according to the Irish site.
I’ve seen the YT videos but it hasn’t hit Ireland yet.
And the home plug ?
Floor matts are included with all cars.
In 2 years and 1 month I’ve never even taken our UMC out of its pouch to try it out.
I’d say the vast majority of buyers will never use the UMC.
No idea how to check that 🤷♂️
I think Tesla owners got spoiled getting the 2 for years. My Leaf only came with one cable, the granny cable from memory.
I also note Elon has said that once they arrive into stock they will be reduced to $200 in America. That means we will see the lower rate here so they should be less than €200 to buy if needed.
The done similar reductions with the CCS Conversion, Chademo adaptor and various other bits and bobs on their store.
A 32a Type 2 3 Phase Cable is €99 with them when everywhere else’s is selling them for €200.
Granny Charger and floor mats still come with the car in Ireland.
My dog often jumped on my M3 to welcome me and his paw scratched the car a bit. So paint isn’t that good TBH.
I saw the price up in few wks wonder if it’s becoz of EURO vs USD rate change.
USD spiked a lot recently.
Dog scratching will happen on most, if not all cars if a dog gets excited and is jumping all over your car.
Price increases are due to material increases and shortages. The same is happening to EU cars that are not based in US so the US/Euro trading is largely irrelevant.
M9 route needs a supercharger more than any other motorway in the country!
It would completely change ownership for anyone in the southeast of the country and is a massive black hole for any sort of charging infrastructure!
My initial EDD was August I'm hearing now from Tesla that it might be June, what would happen if I wanted to wait till July to get my car so that it is 222 reg plate and not June 221? Would I lose my spot and have to wait another month or two to get a new car again or would it be possible for Tesla to register my car for July?
I asked them this question before I took delivery of mine and it was a polite but definite “no”. I second Slaves advice and take what you can get when you can get it.
