Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I just sent them an email asking if they provide PCP options for Tesla and if they did, I asked them to send me a quote for both min and max deposit and they duly obliged. That bit was through email and then they sent me a link to the application process through 'codeweavers' and I was able to load up all the required documents and info from there.. If you provide the info quickly then the process will be fast...

Interesting - would be consistent with delivery guideline starting 15th August. I can see myself spending time on that forum!

Why do you have to add that on....do Tesla not manage the payment of the €5k grant themselves? The final figure I was given for my lease cost didn't include the €5k

Tesla had a poor manufacturing quarter in Q2 due to COVID in China and chip shortage.

Interesting that EDD are being brought forward, maybe

* Their giving a bit more priority to the Irish market long term(unlikely)

*More EV's from other OEMs impacting demand (seems very unlikely)

*Selling more cars here as getting squeezed out with grants and price increases (likely in my opinion, next price increase will take all specs outside the grant and bands will drop I would think in the next budget too. So let's see if there all delivered. Also note there is no difference between UK and Ireland EDD's, the reality is always like that).

Hope ye don't have to wait but stay away from Tesla group and Mr. miserable it'll wreck yer heads.

Set expectations low in order to avoid disappointment. I ordered August last year for Sept/October delivery finally would have been delivered in march this year but had jumped ship by then.

Just wondering are those interest rates locked in or can the rates go up as central banks increase rates a la variable mortgages?

I believe they are locked in, but open to be corrected.

Yes it makes sense to add fsd at a later stage if it's required. Standard auto pilot is included in all specs

Situation with new GIGA factory in Germany is that they are currently only producing Model Y Performance at the plant is in ramp up stage. They celebrated a milestone last week of producing 1000 units in a week so that gives some insight as to current state. China remains the volume producer and although i am sure the plan is for the new German and Austin Texas plants to play a bigger role .it appears a more longer term target, meaning that China will continue to serve the European market for some time to come. At the moment the Model Y production line is closed for upgrading and later this month the Model 3 line will close for similar upgrades, both with the intent of increasing significantly the production volumes to 21,000 units per week (puts Germany into context). Globally June 2022 was the highest ever month of production in all of Tesla's history.

For what its worth..

I was told by who sent my quote that the 5k grant has to come off the deposit.

My quote just for reference. Rwd, blue, Aeros. On second viewing the difference is I would be paying a 12,778 deposit rather than 16k in the other quote but it’s still not as good when you take into account the final payment difference.

not sure what is going on with the quote eeloe got above. That seems a lot.

That looks similar to mine if you went for 15km and as I was told the 5k grant would come off the deposit.

even if I was going to do over 15km I would choose the lower option. It would only be an issue if you needed to hand it back to them after the term.

Either way we are playing with the same figure. I pay less monthly but your final payment is lower so you get more equity at the end of the 3 years.

Mikes quote is the best as the grant is taken off the whole amount so he would be paying less interest overall. The interest on pcp is always on the whole amount. Ours hasn’t got the 5k off as I am assuming it comes off the deposit like I was told it was. Not sure I believe that tbh though as there are different quotes around..

Apply for the grant now, you will receive approval in a few days, you then have 6 months to have the charger installed and apply for the refund (but you need the car for this), however I believe they are allowing a grace period to deal with the increasing delays from order of cars to delivery.

If a grant was previously applied for and approved from that address (and it looks like it was), you will not be eligible for the charger grant. as its a 1 time deal per MPRN.
