Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Yes, but don't think they are fully operational as yet. But they do write "Tesla" when performing the light show..😉

It is actually less 52,972 is what you pay for a white RWD, black interior, 18" aero wheels. The fuel savings calculator can be customized, below is mine ball park with the mention that my old ICE was above 7l/100km.

It is usefull because the car costs is not just the initial purchase cost. If you don't want it just put 0.1 km driven a year or 0.1 iin any other 2 boxes fuel eff or petrol cost.

I have a problem with long range and performance where the price in the RHD is different from cash price and I don't understand how is it acceptable.

I just figure it out. It is the American way of displaying the price ex taxes. So 62,990 is the price before VRT 4,741, shipping 980 and tyre recycling 14 => 68,725. At least there is a law forcing them to display the price inclusive of VAT. At least I know now

It is the American way, but we have laws about how prices are advertised to the public. All non-optional charges must be included.

I find the wipers fine now, much better than in 2020 anyway. Only issue I have now is in misty weather it doesn't wipe as often as I'd like. In actual rain I find them good

I am unsure whether the estimated dates are reliable or not, however I doubt if the cars are already built. It is usual for Tesla to try to distribute cars as soon as they are available and Shanghai produces for the local Chinese market, Australia and Europe. As it relates to Europe it is approx a one month journey by sea (Southhampton for UK, and Zeebrugge for Northern Europe including Ireland). So for Irish deliveries cars need to be ready about 6 weeks from delivery date and pattern so far is that they are delivered in last 2 weeks of each quarter (End of June, End of September).

Would be good to hear from anyone who has direct experience of requesting a hold on delivery. I am thinking of changing to a White Model 3 (order Midnight Silver) as that version has a longer delivery date. I know that Tesla are renowned for changes to EDD and I find it hard to think that a Mod 3 ordered a week ago June would have a delivery date of August to October as this would be inconsistent with the EDD at time of booking a week ago and also the current indicative EDD for new orders, both of which run into 2023. All the more so when we know the impact that Shanghai closure had on Q2 deliveries which suggests that there are a lot of unfulfilled orders in the queue.

Would appreciate any views from those who have successfully been able to request a hold/delay on delivery as opposed to speculative opinions.

I ordered last September and immediately delayed delivery for Jan 2022 for a 221 car and collected the car in march when the next delivery came in after my delayed delivery date went by, no probs:) delivery date was fairly accurate as well, p.s I went for white and it looks great ,I feel the other colours just blend into the background but the white really stands out, red is nice too but there was no way I was spending that amount on a colour!!

My view was informed by the backlog of orders. Shanghai lost 60,000 units of production due to Covid closure and there is a backlog in deliveries. Model Y also was focused on for Q2 production with few model 3 delivered.

There are many Model 3 customers who have seen their EDD move out (associated with production shortfall) who have ordered many months ago. The UK is a large market served by Shanghai and estimates of just receiving 1/3 of the volume of previous quarter. Hard for me to think that Model 3 ordered a week ago would be delivered in Aug or Sept. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

You won't be caught for price increases but if the grant changes you'll have to cover the difference.

Beware its infectious...once driven it gets under your skin...

Yep, unfortunately the RWD will be the only big seller here for the foreseeable future. Makes one wonder if Tesla will prioritise the Irish Market when we will be buying so few of their higher profit models.

Would love a Long Range though.☺️

What charger/charging cables are supplied as standard with the 2022 Model 3 RWD?

thanks, Mike

Does anybody here have the Tesla Gen 3 wall box charger.

I am looking at home charging options.

Does it have the Type B breaker integrated or is this extra? And does it require a separate earth rod or does it have integrated PEN?

thanks, Mike
