Check for a fly, seems to be the most common reason

The same thing happened to me on Sunday, it was going mental the whole time, I had to disable the alarm and it's been disabled since.

I updated to 2022.36.5 on Saturday and thought it may have been that. What software are you on @Mike2006?

Great idea! kit due from amazon. Be prepared!

Hi all,

I haven't followed this thread in quite a while, but hopefully you won't hold that against me. I've been really frustrated lately by the lack of updates and information coming from Volkswagen about my ID3,so I've decided that it's got to go and I'm going to join the Tesla owners club as soon as I can.

I've just a couple of questions that I would like answered..

Where are Irish cars made now. M3 and MY Germany? China? USA?

Is there a CCS port on the car, or does it use an adaptor ?

What's the actual size of the battery in the SR+ model ?

I don't really need the space of the Y, but I was thinking if it's made in Germany, it might be put together a bit better... Is Giga Berlin even open yet ? !!

What's the realistic lead time nowadays ?

Thanks.

In the order raised

Majority of Irish cars are made in Teslas Shanghai Plant, where production capacity has been increased to a staggering 22K vehicles per week, shortening delivery dates. Germany Tesla plant is in rampup and concentrated on Model Y, so far LHD, but that could change anytime soon, but for Model 3 all will come from Shanghai for foreseeable.

Yes there is a CCS port

The SR+ is no longer the name it is now RWD, and battery size for Model 3 RWD, although not officially stated is approx 60KW. Its also a LFP battery, which allows (and recommends) that it can be charged to 100%, unlike the previous battery

Model Y pricing has been reduced about a week ago so for RWD it is identical to Model 3, also qualifies for SEAI grant.

Lead time is indicated as Q1 2023..indicative dates on Tesla site are now more reliable but still a moving target as logistics of shipping from China is proving a capacity constraint. For some (myself) a car ordered in June '22 was delivered in Sept 'ww For what its worth the quality coming from China has been recognised as being excellent, so the presumption of better from Germany (in ramp up stage) should be considered.

China

Is there a CCS port on the car, or does it use an adaptor ?

Model 3 & Model Y are CCS as standard - no adaptor required

What's the actual size of the battery in the SR+ model ?

60kWh but usable is anything from 52-57kWh

Is Giga Berlin even open yet ? !!

Yes, but currently only producing LHD Model Y

What's the realistic lead time nowadays ?

If in inventory - 2-4 weeks, if not in inventory - 2-4 months

rx8 · 26-10-2022 10:52AM

Thanks for that guys.

Is enhanced Auto Pilot a "Must Have" or is it a gimic. Is it better to add it on after delivery to avoid going above possible grant ceilings?

Is the Y a better car or just a pumped up M3.

Gimmick - - Don't buy EAP or FSD until after you collect the car if you really want either of them... they are only a software unlock to activate them.

Every Tesla comes with AutoPilot as standard - this is adaptive cruise control and AutoSteer, and in Ireland it's all you'll ever need.

If you order EAP/FSD when you order the car you will pay VRT on them and also push the car outside of SEAI grant territory...

EAP is a nice have but I don’t think I’d pay €3700 for it. I have it, I like it.

If you want it, add it after collection and you avoid VRT and keep the grant.

MY - Pumped up M3. Maybe the M3 is a deflated MY 🤷‍♂️

Buy what suits you. The 3 will handle better and is a bit faster.

I came from an ID.3 to a Model 3, mainly because at the time (Early this year) the price to change became a reality. Tesla was about €49.9K and second hand prices for the ID.3 were very high.

Loved my ID, never any real problems except for a few minor software issues when new.

Would I have got a Model Y had it been the same price at the time I changed? Possibly, but I do not really need the space (We have an Ioniq 5 as well). But residual value may well be better on the Y. Power and efficiency will be a little better on the Model 3. Looks are subjective but I think I prefer the 3. I am finding my Model 3 great on range, in reality in milder weather similar enough to the ID.3, but at motorway speeds and in cold weather definitely better. (Standard heat pump). Tech on the Tesla is on a different level to VW.

rx8 · 26-10-2022 11:34AM

That's brilliant lads. I suspected the grant would be affected.

Now to persuade her indoors that she'll get to drive it sometimes... 😉😉

If she is anything my my better half, it will go from "I dont think I will drive it", to where is my car, ah its gone again.....

YESSS!!!!! Thought I was going fu%king mad. So for one day it kept going off, seems to have stopped now tho so fingers crossed. There was an update recently, so could be related.

AndyBoBandy · 26-10-2022 03:18PM

It’s usually a fly inside the car setting it off!!!

we had it about a week ago a few times over the course of a day and low and behold I caught the little fecker and problem solved!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119795912#Comment_119795912

Didn't even know there was an alarm in my car until I read here of it going off..😊

If it does go off, can it be turned off from the app?

AndyBoBandy · 26-10-2022 03:26PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119795921#Comment_119795921

It’s actually a bit weird as the only way I’ve been able to stop the alarm is by unlocking the car via the app….. so it doesn’t exactly feel secure having to do this remotely when the fecking alarm is going off!!!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119795935#Comment_119795935

Just read up on the alarm, I see you can turn off the intrusion/tilt, but doesn't mention anything about interior sensors. On other cars I normally disable this so as not to have false alarms due to spiders etc.

Edit, I see the tilt/intrusion setting does include the interior sensors. I should rtfm..😉

AndyBoBandy · 26-10-2022 03:45PM

Never even copped that myself!!!

I always just figured tilt was worth having on in case someone ever tried to lift/tow the car…

I did turn off all alarms/sentry when going on ferries a few months back, but some unlucky sod with a Model X (which was on an outside deck parked just behind/below the on deck passenger area) didn’t turn off his alarms and any time we went on deck the alarm was going off!!

The smallest of the small fly can trigger the interior alarm if it flies near the interior sensor(s) near the pano roof which they do due to the glass. Happened to us and my brother's TM3 also.

mc2022B2TF · 26-10-2022 04:41PM

Just a quick update on the rwd September m3 buffer.

I recently upgraded the software and buffer remained the same. So good news.

On a drive earlier today just as the battery hit 75% the used energy hit 14kWh at the same time almost. So usable battery seems to be pretty much exactly 56kWh. That's a nice fair amount and happy with that.

Just a pity it was there by default and tesla we no use regarding how to address it.

Buffergate closed......... haha

Do you think it was the running to 0 and then fully charging it that sorted it?

joe1303l · 26-10-2022 07:21PM

@eagerv What kWh model ID.3 are you comparing against the Model 3 ?

innrain · 26-10-2022 07:29PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119796734#Comment_119796734

or some usage pattern? Could be there for a while until they are happy it works within the desired specs and protect the driver from some fails?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119796734#Comment_119796734

It was definitely the running near zero and putting it in a deep sleep for a few hours with no connection to the app. Definitely that. Went to sleep with 0 and woke up with 6%

Zurbaran · 26-10-2022 08:25PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119742528#Comment_119742528

Going to try this now as the car is down to zero %. Not over night though so will be letting it sleep for 5 hours before checking.

eagerv · 27-10-2022 12:07AM

58kWh

Went out to Sandyford this morning for the MY and M3 test drive, ....Have to say, we were both blown away by the MY. The last time I drove a Tesla was about 3 years ago, and the Missus had a brief spin around a housing estate. Now that she has an EV on her own ( Kona Electric), she wanted a proper go. The space inside is unreal and the only real question now is, White or Blue...Waiting to see what kind of trade-in figure they will come back with, but I'm not expecting miracles and will probably sell the ID3 privately after Christmas. Order going in then.

Thanks to the guys who answered my questions yesterday... Really looking forward to delivery now. Sometime in March, hopefully.

Price the ID3 right and it'll be sold in less than an hour, I know because I've done it already.

If you order now, it will be delivered for Feb/Mar.

Gives you time to decide and sell your ID in the new year.

Only thing I will say is that today, you drove the Long Range Dual Motor. Was it the 21 or 22 model? As the 22 model has the newer refreshed suspension.

And if you order the RWD, it will be a different car, with single motor only. So just bear that in mind.
