Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Its probably fairly accurate. As @slave1 said above, the trip meter will account for elevation.

There is some decent terrain in Tyrone (like the Sperrin Mountains) and Im guessing you are starting from an elevated position, so you are going to get some energy gains on the way down to the coast at Portrush. Then on the return trip its climbing back up to the start (on average), hence the disparity.

Would be interesting to hear what you actual consumption figures were.

I think they were still offering these cars out to the trade.. Tesla have only sold a handful of used cars in Ireland, and I think they were only Model S & X, but stand to be corrected on that. They are just simply not interested in being used car salesmen...... Tesla is in the business of selling new cars and 2nd hand cars is probably just too much hassle for them.

Tesla do have loaner cars, but not loads (and lately with so many new Tesla's on the road, the loaners are scarce as more and more cars are in and out for little jobs)... if they think the job you're car is coming in for is a big job, and a loaner is available they'll give it to you, and if no loaner is available they'll give you an Uber voucher you can use to get home. They do have a small office onsite that you can book and use for the day if you so wish, which I did a few months ago, as even if they do have a loaner available, I couldn't be arsed crossing the M50 an additional 2 times in quick succession...

I did get a loaner once and it was a 171 Model S90D (I have a Model 3 SR+), which I kept overnight. my car was ready at 5pm the same day, but I didn't fancy doing the M50 from M1 to Sandyford and back again in rush hour traffic... so just went over the following morning to get my car back.

Whats the story with these "Rangers" I hear about who drive around the country attending to issues reported by Tesla owners - what is their actual role wrt Tesla and how far do it extend?

Left with 72% and got here on 55%. Car was adamant that I was arriving with 64%!! Even with 28 miles to go it was saying I would do it using 1% battery 😂

I have a set of these: Amazon Linky

They are really deep and great for keeping the muck out and easy to pull out and hose down. I think the design really compliments the Tesla really well, but the raised pattern may not be to the liking of some and it is quite deep at about 5-7m.

What ever you order make sure they specify RHD - the first set I ordered were for LHD (even though the pic showed RHD nothing was specific in the ad description).

Hi guys,

Thinking of ordering a model 3 after canceling my other EV order due to a big delay and not being sure I still liked it.

Just wondering, if it says Jan-March 23, can I assume it won't be brought forward to 2022? For a few reasons, it has to be 2023 for me.

Should I wait until later in the year to order to make sure of this or just order now and refuse it if they offer it to me in 2022? Any ideas if I would get put to the bottom of the list again if I refused for example?

Thanks and sorry if this has already been answered.

What was other EV you cancelled out of curiosity?

We are away for 10 days, model3 rwd, since Tuesday. Car underground parked up. Will try and not interrogate the app, only checked the temp a few times so far seems to stay at about 17C. So far lost 1% will be of interest to see loss over 10 days

Yes sentry would kill it alright. Car seems to be well asleep when I check app takes about 30 seconds to wake it. I left the car with 67%, now 66%. If I still have 60% next Friday I will be happy with enough to get home comfortably. Probably have more.

I left the car in what looks a safe spot near a camera and one side close to a pillar.

I got the text this morning to say prepare for delivery...

Home EV charger

I've made some inquiries about getting home EV charger installed and it seems a tails upgrade is required before a car charger can be installed. The supplier has suggested they do a survey and then they will quote for the work. I got a second opinion and it definitely is the case.

Obviously I want and need everything to be fully up to spec and safe, so the work will need to be done.

Has anyone else had to to this? Any ball park figures of what it might cost?

Thanks

No assignment of vehicle for me anyway - I believe that happens in or around the time the cars are on the ship.

My EDD is showing as August 14 - September 15

Text this morning said - "Tesla Update, estimated delivery timing for your Model 3 is August-September. Prepare for delivery by completing your pre-delivery tasks"

I've done some calling around on this and with my set-up, it will be looking like approx 1,300 EUR (incl. VAT) for charger supply (Ohme) and installation. Taking the grant into consideration it'll work out approx 700 EUR

The prices I've been quoted range from 1,300-1,500 depending on the charger selected.

My initial plan was to go with Tesla charger but as it doesn't include load balancing and apparently i would need to get another contraption installed to handle that, otherwise I could be looking at a lot of trip flipping so I'll go with a non-tesla option.

Have you done anything about the financing yet? It says Tesla would reach out if they needed any information, so I've just left it until now

I put in as a cash buyer, so not going the finance route..

I only ordered to protect against a price increase as I already have a Model 3, and if circumstances allow in 2023, I'll upgrade.
