Can confirm this even with the trade-in/AIB finance included, booked on 22/12 (so this includes Christmas/New Year holidays), and they still managed everything to have it ready for collecting it tomorrow.
I had pretty much the same feedback as Gumbo. If you're paying cash for an inventory car, it's about two weeks from the time you put down the deposit to driving off with your Model 3.
Good news: my bug bear of crappy rain sensor behaved perfectly on a recent trip to Killarney and back. Now if only the next software version fixed the choppy suspension.
I can’t comment on the finance side of things but if paying cash then 10 days give or take.
The finance application may hold it up alright.
Quick query - if you buy a used M3 from the Tesla website, pay your deposit and fill out the finance form etc. roughly how long is it to hear back from Tesla and/or collect the actual car?
Cheers!
First time using the Tesla breakdown service today.
Unfortunately it was on a trip to the airport where the rear tyre blew out just past the red cow on the m50.
Managed to ring a taxi and got the wife and kids off (they just about made the flight).
Took a good 5 minutes to get through to them but after that it was done very quickly. Transporter came and brought the car home and I got a taxi back to the airport.

Now, I’m no expert, but my thoughts are the the was trying to open the door using the push button as the car was still moving and in D. In a panic of course.
There are mechanical handles that some may forget in a panic and thoughts of stopping and putting the car in P may not be top of the mind in such a scenario.
I may be totally wrong and the car is a death cage 😂
Is that true?
The latest Tesla Model S Plaid electric car, which Elon Musk introduced on June 11, caught fire while driving, when the driver was in the cabin. The owner miraculously survived - the electronics malfunctioned due to a fire and blocked the doors, due to which the man could not immediately get out of the cabin. He had to forcefully knock out the door to get out of the passenger compartment, while the electric car continued to move.
Anybody have any idea when the next batch of Model 3's are due in by boat?
Was hoping to get my September order this month but seen as I haven't heard anything from Tesla I am assuming this isn't the case.
Never had the squeaky breaks either and I single pedal a lot
No, no squeaks at all.
Are your breaks extremely squeaky as well? Im guessing its because they are very rarely used but very jarring on a 4-month-old car :D
I think it was tbh.
They have EAP on their used stock and then on the “new” stock, standard AP. They may have added EAP to the “new” stock but again, I don’t even see that but that’s not saying I didn’t miss it either.
my apologies, maybe it was EAP on the all and now they are all back to basic “auto pilot”
I didn’t see that at all.
I was looking at them on 31st and EAP was all I saw.
I got the email to check as they offered 10k with of SuC but not a single mention of FSD.
In Ireland, they had them as a end of Q4 sales incentive I'd say, that "deal" is not needed now
In the USA?
To lower the asking price in the hope that they might shift a few more cars…
Why would they do this ?
See Tesla have taken FSD off all inventory 3s
Your comment comes across as awfully dismissive of the auld Tesla owners crowd 😂.
I won't be getting into my car credentials or how many enthusiast points I've accrued over the years, but suffice to say I have worked plenty on cars and I know a thing or two about materials. The damage shown by the other poster appears to be an outer rim deformation which is easily rectified by a professional repair outfit. There is no need for the drama and hyperbole.
Interesting that you say you would drive on a repaired alloy, but wouldn't allow your Wife or kids be transported with such a repaired wheel. Have you had x-rays carried out on every alloy on every car you've owned or used to transport your family? You'd be surprised how common structural cracks and defects are present in wheels which have never had a repair and yet appear in perfect shape to the naked eye. Potholes cause untold and unseen damage to wheels, but we carry on and the NCT hasn't yet required our wheels to go through an x-ray machine just yet.
You’ve just confirmed my guess on ignorant. If you don’t like this thread with too many Tesla owners, I’d suggest you stay away.

Il put your comment down to a guy that couldn't even change a wheel let alone work on his own car and judge what's structure damage or not,get off the boat you clown
Il tell you what, this thread is full of guys that own Tesla's that haven't a literal clue about cars, have never repaired them, worked on their own cars and aren't remotely into cars in the slightest such as you..
Post this junk wheel in the main forum and let's get an opinion from people who actually know what they are talking about from in the trade and actual car enthusiasts and see what they think, would they have junked the wheel..
Would I drive on the wheel, most probably. Would I let my wife or my child be driven with that thing, not a **** chance.
I’ve only used them once back in 2020 for my Model S Performance.
Cabin Filter replacement.
Brake Fluid Change.
Replaced front, rear and parking brake pads.
Brake Caliper Service.
Rear half shafts removed and greased (common problem on MS, you’ll hear a clicking at low speeds).
I wouldn’t normally use a Main dealer for the general things but I wanted the half shafts done by Tesla as they are part of the drivetrain so we’re still under warranty.
For all of the above was €654.
What roughly would Tesla charge to send out a Ranger to clean the calipers and do a brake fluid change ? Is there a service pricing menu online somewhere.
No service requirements.
Change the cabin filter every 2 years.
You can strip the brake calipers down to clean them and grease them due to the lower use of them in EV’s.
Brake fluid every couple of years.
Tesla will do it of course, but any mechanic can do it too.
How often have you serviced your model 3.
And did you get Tesla Sandyford to service. How much, what's involved, how long does it take.
I've done 29,000KM without any service.
I’ll put the first comment down to innocence or ignorance whichever fits best. Most used cars in the country will have had an oem alloy wheel repaired at some point over the years. Once repaired properly by a reputable outfit, there’s no issue. Ask your local tyre fitter or any used car dealer and they’ll tell you who they use for alloy wheel repairs if you don’t believe me. https://www.wheelwizards.ie/
