Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Loads of scams going around. Are they legitimate competition site? Did you speak to someone in person? For the money involved, I’d probably request a bank transfer and ensure it’s clears first.

They're legitimate , I was the one that got in contact with them and I did speak to them on the phone, I was told their mechanic will come over to check on the car and if everything is fine he'll get someone to collect the car and at the same time he'll transfer the money to my account, I was given an option either my BOI or revolut but since he'll be paying me same time as he'd be taking the car I rather take revolut since it's instant transfer without waiting 2-3 days to clear.

One of the competition sites where they raffle cars and other items. I know a person that won a car if them before. That's why I assumed revolut would be safe enough, I gave him my IBAN and BIC already for revolution and got a small sum for a deposit to hold the car for few days.

You will get a specific date (many customers have today received same message and were successful in getting a confirmed delivery date). As far as revolut is concerned if the funds appear in your account I think you can safely assume safe delivery.

I am based in Munster and my collection point is also Baldonnell.

All handovers are done from Baldonnel. The reception area is a marquee which has about 6 to 8 cars in it and a few outside. As appointments arise cars are moved into the collection area and it is a relatively efficient process. You are greeted by a Tesla staff member, you show your ID and your hone app. He activates your car and it appears on your Phone app. You get two Credit card like keys and are shown to your car. You can inspect and are not put under any time pressure and are free to drive off whenever you like. Cars have different levels of charge and for anyone that has a long journey there is an Ionity fast charging site a few kms away in Kill. From those who have collected in 2022 (myself included) the quality level is high and the whole process is reasonably efficient. A lot of Youtube videos circulate about "collection checklists" but ,in my opinion, these will only serve to raise anxiety and were more appropriate when Tesla were known to have some quality issues, but cars coming from China are high quality. You have one week or 100kms to report/advise Tesla of any issues and they will rectify (most people have no issues). I would suggest that when onsite inspect the car for any paintwork issues, (scratches, chips) and report if there are as that way you remove any uncertainty as to whether it was delivered that way or not.

Bet of luck to all new owners!

Yes, stop with 30+% remaining. Kill Ionity, J14 Mayfield etc. Don't go for ballacolla, we saw many reports of cars shutting off with 20+% remaining. It's a drawback with LFP, there's very little difference in voltage between 100% and 0% so after a long trip the BMS will not be accurate

MSM is the only color to get btw.

Good thing MSM isnt grey so

Loads of different coloured M3's here in California. Obviously they are all wrapped but I've seen a few colours that would be lovely if they were factory standard.

Really nice light silver and also a nice silvery/light blue. Also a good few cars on aftermarket rims.

And again not to repeat myself but there are way more Y's than 3's here!!
