Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I've sent a few emails to sales_dublin@tesla.com asking for a PCP quite and no response...what email address is everyone using that are getting replies?

I'm still waiting for a call back from Tesla on my Hire Purchase financing selection - I know that as decisions are only valid for 30 days they wait until closer to the time but we should be hearing back from them any day now I'd say

I'd say the first port of call would be to either call SEAI, or just apply for the grant and find out of the grant was previously applied for/approved for that MPRN, as if so, the OP is lumbered with the full cost of installation.....

Got an approval email 6 minutes later!

"You have been approved for an Electric Vehicle (EV) Home Charger grant subject to a maximum value of €600. SEAI are delighted that you will experience the benefits of driving electric, such as lower running costs with reduced climate impact.

If your eligible costs are less than €600, you will only receive a grant up to the amount spent on eligible costs. Eligible costs include the cost of materials (e.g. charger unit, cabling), labour and VAT associated with the purchase and installation of your EV charge point to your home. Ineligible costs not supported by the SEAI grant include any costs associated with upgrading your property or its electrical system."

Tried the above email and got this:

"Thank you for your message. As we move towards new communication methods, this inbox is no longer monitored. You can find many answers to common queries on our website, take a look at the Support pages or browse through the Delivery FAQ’s."

Not sure if that still applies to newer cars with LED headlights.

I just ordered a warning triangle & a set of French approved breathalyser tests from Amazon yesterday (already have the high vis vests)

Would be awesome if Tesla did a CHAdeMO - CCS adaptor (like the CHAdeMO - Type 2 adaptor they do/did for Model S/X), so we could use CHAdeMO connectors if stuck.... (or if I knew the car's SOC% would mean I wouldn't pull more than 60kW from a charger, use the CHAdeMO because why? because why brag fcuk not?*)

*joking of course before team LEAF come in to lynch me......

That should read ‘any’ not art…

I chose ‘Self arranged financing’ from the options…

AFAIK its Netherlands based mobile provider KPN using an esim, so is effectively roaming off the Irish mobile networks. As a result the car will have a Dutch IP address, hence why you can only access to the Dutch catalouge on Netflix.

There was also reports a couple months back of Tesla partnering with Wifi providers to provide access to wifi hotspots, including a mention of wifi at superchargers.

I have my own account and I see in the car everything I see from the TV/computer…..

I also find it extremely accurate. Using the Tesla Energy Monitor App gives a much more accurate range estimate than the amount indicated on your home screen which doesn't account for individual driving style. If you are using Navigation for a trip there is also a TAB labeled Trip which gives a graphical representation of your predicted consumption/range at start of journey all the way through to the end. It even accounts for elevations along the way. As you progress your actual journey is measured against the original estimate, giving good insights as to how your driving style impacts range. If ever you are concerned about range you can see immediately see how modifying your driving style impacts. It's a bit geeky...but play around and it is facinating.

I imagine most know all of this but for those who are interested attached is a good vid that explains.
