Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Every one here is getting the delivery from Baldonell?

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

I doubt that Cork has a collection point. I took my test drive in Cork and the set-up is basically a pop-up style shop for Tesla with a couple of cars in the carpark of Mahon Shopping Centre for people to take on test drive (which is perfectly adequate for the purpose of a test drive)

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!

Thanks great post

Thanks - newbie question:

If I stop at the Ionity charger at Kill,ll the plug at the Ionity stop plug directly into my Model 3 or do I need an adapter?

Also, do I need the Ionity app or Ionity account to pay or can I just 'tap' using my debit card?

I have a Leaf 40 SVE ordered which is delayed from July and supposed to be delivered in October, but if it doesn't arrive in October I am looking to go with a Tesla.

I'm about to pull the trigger on an M3RWD (deposit). Picking the colour is a hard choice :D .Will be financing, but not sure yet who to go with. Who are you guys using?

Any colour but red, not that I don't like it..I do, but it will not get the 5K grant. All the other colours are personal choice, I personally like the White and MSM

I’m only in my new job 4 months. I reckon I need 6 months for finance to be available and I’d need 2 months to have the min deposit.

Im leaning toward MSM. Would love the 19s as they look great on the car, but only white car can have those with the grant.

MSM is the only color to get btw.

Good thing MSM isnt grey so

My Leaf is same colour 😊

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!!
