New colours not available in Ireland or UK for LR or AWD. Made in China
Your logic is not working. The RHD LR AWD might be coming from China (the P is still coming from the USA afaik), but the RWD might very well come from Germany
The new colours are simply not available on any RWD, even the ones made in Germany
Model Y 2023 changes.
MIC cars have left with the new rear seats, new rear emergency door latches and the door cards are now black alcantarra,on both the black and white interior. So near that in mind if paying for the white interior, you get a lot less white on the new model.

I owe you a pint am getting the deposit back after 8 months cancelled the order last Jan.
I’ll have a pint of Champagne please 🤣🤣🤣
Premier Cru Champagne 😉
Yeah that's his €100 refund spent already 😂
🤣🤣
I have an Ioniq 5 Exec Plus 58 at the mo. Great car, and we've 16000km on it now. 7 months old.
Seriously considering a Model Y.
If I order one now, is there any danger that it will arrive in December, I don't want a 2022 reg, the website is quoting Feb / March 2023, and that would be perfect.
I have looked on the Tesla website, it's quite scant on the exact spec of the car.
Does it have tinted glass, heated steering wheel, electric boot opening? No mention on their website.
Yes, Yes, Yes you need to "click" on Interior Features to see more details
Boop
All that tells me is that the car has a glass roof!
Nothing else.
Did you “swipe” to the right?
Is the model Y on tinder now 😜
🤦♂️ How did I not see that!!
The other thing on my mind is delivery date, I don't want it in 2022, I presume that won't happen if I order now?
Delivery is Feb-Mar 2023.
It’s on screen on the site as you’re looking at it. Even more clear than the spec list 🤣
Ah now in fairness, when I ordered in August, the delivery date was March-June and it arrived a few weeks after I ordered 😂. @Fidoodles you can just refuse delivery if it did arrive this year....but I wouldn't turn it away based on the number on the plate.
Rep in Tesla I spoke to said the RWD is definitely from China at the start. Type of battery not confirmed at present.
Thanks @Nedved85, but the staff are as much in the dark as we are, in fact many Tesla enthusiasts are more knowledgeable / more up to date than Tesla staff. I would take whatever they say with a grain of salt.
Personally I don't really care where the car is coming from. I really would like the BYD blade battery though, even though it's 5kWh smaller than the CATL battery
And Tesla Berlin got the most advanced paint shop of all Tesla factories, it's possible the paint job will be better from there. That said, from what I understand the paint on the made in China cars is fine, a long way up from the paint problems the made in the USA cars used to have.
Pinch of salt. For every story of a MIC car, there’s a MIG car.
A Ranger told me he was sure they were coming from Berlin so I guess only serves to prove that nobody inside knows exactly what’s going on.
That same ranger told me just a few days before the RWD Model Y became orderable, that it would be imminently orderable. And that it would get the subsdiy. He was right on the first count, and almost right on the second count (it took a few more weeks)
If anyone in this country has form in predicting things correctly, it's him
That plus the sudden price drop (because no more import duty?) still leads me to believe the cars will come from Germany. I predicted myself nearly 3 years ago that the Model Y by the time it would come to Ireland, would be only a few grand more than the Model 3 was then as the car would be coming from Germany (same reasoning - the then Model 3 came from the USA which also means 10% import duty for entering the EU). Can anyone find my post, I'll give you a million thanks 😁
LFP battery what I’d like, ability to charge to 100% regularly is nice.
Range is gonna be a bit less than the current RWD M3 which I’m not so keen on.
That’s the thing. You have to weigh up the bigger car V range etc
Yep the battery will be LiFePO4, but it could be the same CATL 60kWh pack that's in current made in China Model 3 cars or the new BYD blade 55kWh pack that's considerably lighter, safer and gives the car more efficiency, so much so that the WLTP range is just 15km less (440km vs 455km) in the Model Y RWD
Sat into one for the first time today in a Tesla shop, sound a clear improvement (expected but quite instantly noticeable coming from a non-sub 3). Driving position seemed fine. I need width in the boot so no real day to day gain for me. Don’t like the absence of a tonnay (sic) cover, I like my golf clubs well out of sight.
If I was choosing between a new 3 or Y I’d probably take the 10% range drop just for the improved audio but not a 20% range drop from a 221 Model 3 (assuming same buffer issue). It’s also not clear if sensors included or not, reversing sensors a 100% requirement.
I thought there was a boot cover/parcel shelf now
Definitely a boot cover on them now the demo is sandyford had it when I had a look 2 weeks ago, it kind of folds in a Z rather than retractable but certainly fit for purpose.
There is. It looks like the poster sat in the older version alright.
From chatting to the Tesla rep, he said that they should be able to confirm the battery type around January time frame. Will be reaching out to them then.
