They are but with bigger margins, so they could undercut them if they wanted. Or start advertising as there are still plenty of people that have never heard of Tesla, or even more that assume they all cost 100-150k.
Pound for pound, are they not already on par or better than the legacy manufacturers?
When you compare spec to spec or are you talking about reducing to MG pricing?
there is an extended shutdown from 20th to end jan (around Chinese new year ), so don’t think thats covid related . Maybe some of the slowdown for tesla sales related is the BYD skyrocketing sales in china. Maybe the spreading Elon effect or covid or downward sales , or any combination of the above .
If supply exceeds demand they'll either have to cut the margins to be more like the legacy manufacturers or maybe even start advertising 😱
Maybe the Model 3 will get a price cut to get it back in line with the Model Y ?
Maybe they're modifying the factory for the new Model 3
Thought it was down to covid restrictions?
Id say its more to do with they don’t have buyers waiting for the 250,000 cars they are now producing every quarter. The waiting time for a model Y in china is under 14 days , and demand has slowed in the USA (tax incentive gives due to kick in there in 2023)
Saw a video with what looked like miles of cars ready for shipment recently so your car could already be built.
Slowdown in Shanghai production announced today, wouldn’t be a huge surprise if deliveries of the Y are put back?

As I understand Revenue allows all companies to use these rates to refund employees using their private car for valid business miles and this income is non taxable to the employee.
I see Tesla have now put up details of the Finance Ireland PCP offer on the MY. Oddly, they don't mention GFMV though, unless I missed it.
Can see this being quite a volatile figure if decent feature updates come year on year.
EV’s now qualify on the middle band of the mileage rates since September and you’ll have no BIK to pay.
@joe1303l Where did you see this?
I’m not an accountant but it seems like you’re best of to buy privately to get the €5K grant and then recoup your mileage expenses from your business tax free at civil service mileage rates. EV’s now qualify on the middle band of the mileage rates since September and you’ll have no BIK to pay. Obviously this only works if you’re doing sufficient annual mileage but you’re hardly buying a new Model Y to use it as a driveway trophy.
We looked at getting it on the business with my wife self employed.
made no sense. The grant is more than you could claim back over 3-5 years and wasnt worth it. Buying private and still will save more. With BIK going down, at that purchase price itll cost too much
If contemplating putting a new car through your business, surely leasing might be more attractive from an accounting perspective to your business ? As Unkel suggested it’s a direct question for your accountant but losing a €5K grant wouldn’t be a great start.
Some people buy their EV privately, so they get the €5000 subsidy. Then they sell the car to their company. No idea if this is kosher, check with your accountant.
Yea. SEAI grants does not apply to business customers AFAIK.
Im assuming thats down to the SEAI grant ?
Grant Application, price and registration name etc so yes, definitely tell Tesla.
If it's a standard range it'll be 5k cheaper as a private sale.
Also the owner of the car on the logbook will be the company and not you.
So yes tell them
Can't see why this would matter to them, but perhaps someone else has a different experience
Picking up the Model Y in Feb hopefully 🤞 but am contemplating putting it through my Ltd company.
Anyone done this before ? When purchasing it do I need to tell Tesla its a commercial and not a private purchase ?
Where did you get it from?
€1300 for a zappi for me, very smooth process. 3 hours total. Box has been flawless. The ID.3 can be finiky to charge on early software versions. Sorted with 2.3
My install took 8 hours..had to bond an earth to the boiler out the back, wanted to do all manner of routing or wires out the house, told him he'd have to route earth behind skirting and out gable, not going out front. He earned his money
Wallbox Pulsar Plus €1149 installed by www.ecoplexenergy.ie in August just gone. Now granted it was a very simple install.
Initial quote was €1299 but very quickly moved down with *very* basic negotiation - along the lines of "this other crowd are doing it for 1199" etc.
Install was sub-1hr so they have this down to a fine art now I'd say. The electrical equivalent of money for old rope apparently.
1560 for me, included tails work. Wall box
Is that what you paid or is this available somewhere currently? My sense is itll cost 1600 to 1700 installed for anything decent before the grant
Makes €1150 installed start to look quite attractive.
Honestly I thought the Wallbox+ was cheaper to acquire for a DIY fit.
