Got the same text, but no call from First Auto Finance
The guy called me as he couldn't locate my original approval document, but then found it while we were talking.
I had 2 Supercharges in Germany yesterday and the car didn’t even pre-condition as it was so hot!!! And still pulled the full 170kW on both occasions…..
over Monday & Tuesday I drove 1,300km’s and the car was absolutely flawless (2020 SR+)
a simple but brilliant feature is leaving the climate control on while out of the car as we went in to grab a bite to eat on the last charge, and despite it being 38 degrees outside the car remained at a cool 14 degrees and felt like a fridge when we got back in!!
highest temp seen was 40 degrees in France on Monday!!
7 Supercharges in total and the car is now sitting in the hold of our ship at 84%
Couldnt even imagine or would even dare doing a trip like this in anything other than a Tesla…..
Seems unusual that you cant find a VIN... the easiest way is to download this to Chrome on your browser then log out of Tesla account and back into it..
Yes, tried that extension but no luck yet. Obviously hoping it just hasn't been added/updated yet. Tesla did tell me last week that I would find out this week if I can expect a car in the Aug/Sep delivery.
I'm waiting on delivery confirmation before I pull the trigger on tails upgrade & home charger install. I'm going with Zappi v2.
Sounds like an epic road trip Andy and great to hear it was so successful in your SR+ !!
Have had the text from Tesla. Have my VIN number in the source code . I haven’t had a call about finance yet but I am opting for AIB
Have you gotten a quote from someone? Ive been shopping around and deciding between the Zappi and the Wall box Pulsar Plus.
Yeah, once your in mainland Europe you can pretty much go anywhere you want and your covered by Supercharging…. And bonus for me is it’s all still free as I still have a **** ton of referral km’s to use up before they expire in October!!
Started off the trip with 4,992km;
And currently have 4,089 left after 1,300km of driving/charging (the joys of driving one of the most efficient Tesla’s out there!!!)
Should land back in Ireland with over 3,000+ Km remaining!!! So might need to plan a few trips to Belfast, Cork or Galway!!!
Yes, I got a quote from Carplug.ie for the Zappi v2. Got a separate quote from ecoplexyenergy.ie for Wallbox Pulsar plus.
As I understand it, for the additional cost of the Zappi, it's a far superior product.
Same here: (my EDD is now Aug 19 to Sept 02)
I have the VIN code
'I got a text' from Tesla today as per others
Finance emailed me yesterday to say that Tesla had been in contact with them also and that a VIN had been assigned.
I am assuming that the date 'range' will ultimately change to just one date and that is the collection date.
I have just ordered the Gen 3 Tesla charger online so hopefully that will arrive soon now as well.
I wonder is there somebody in the Tesla office in Dublin looking at this thread, changing the EDDs and watching the thread grow as they mess with our heads!!

FWIW, I love the look of the Tesla Gen 3 wall connector and did some digging on it. I spoke to a couple of people and I was advised that they were designed for the US market where they have more power going into their houses. Seemingly you will also need a load balancer installed, as the the connector doesn't have the feature.
I don't have any electric showers or large load appliances in my house so it will be ok.
Yes - the 'look' and the port open button/feature was the main attraction for me. I know that it is a relatively 'dumb' charger but it is also reasonably priced at €500. I can time charging etc.. from the car itself...
Same as others, got the text this morning.
Other half had applied to AIB for car loan this morning (should hear back by lunch time).
Also have my VIN, and EDD hasn't changed (yet), still Aug 3 - Aug 17.
I'm on an RWD, Midnight Silver with 19" wheels and white interior. I rang Tesla again there mostly because I need to renew my trade in details but I also asked about the recent vins coming in. I would still be optimistic even if we're not in that first wave of VINs. I know it feels like being left out of Christmas😂. But the guy on the other end of the line said there's still several ships of Teslas due for this quarter to Ireland so the chances of being paired up with a car for the Aug-Sep time period that we've remained on is still good.
Again no guarantees. Just relaying what he told me.
EDD slipped for the first time since ordering, Aug 19. - Sep 2. now. from 9-23 Aug
Finance guy said a VIN had been assigned to my account so happy days. Waiting to hear back from AIB for the lease approval.
I got a guy out to survey for the charger, he could find the "earth rod" for my house and apparently thats a basic thing for house built in the last 20 years...could complicate/increase cost for the home charger (if I want to get the grant money back). Might have to granny charge for a while until figure out what to do
I also need an tails upgrade, earth rod & earth bonding. I was quoted €950 for this pre-work. Then an additional 1250-1450 for supply and fit of charger itself e.g. EO mini or Zappi v2 respectively.
Hi,
I got an email re the PCP finance and request to upload some documentation. I am not receiving my verification code. I've had other SMS from them, so assume they have the correct number. They've masked out all the digits except the last 4.
Is anyone else having same issue?
Thanks
I had the same issue, i had to call and swap to my wife's phone number as i would never receive the code. Hers worked first try.
Can you install the charger yourself and still qualify for the charger grant?

Anyone with a VIN and waiting on a car, don't forget you can join the Tesla Owners Ireland Facebook group, a good place as well as here. Lots of knowledgeable people there also...
U would need a RECI certified sparks to sign off on your works to get grant.
In what way is it superior?
Im not sure if I could justify the additional cost for it and I have MyEnergy products in my PV set up.
No
Yip, EDD still the same for me.
I had similar EDD up until yesterday but it then changed to Aug 19th to Sept 2nd
I spoke to a couple of electricians I know, both said Zappi v2 had superior features over the likes of Wallbox, Ohme. They said nothing wrong with the Wallbox/Ohme at all, just the Zappi was the better product. The price difference is about 200€, so they recommended spend that bit extra.
Assume you're pushing out your delivery until Q1 '23?
All working fine this morning. They had the correct mobile number, so assume they had a technical issue last evening.
