Tesla Model Y

He'd likely keep it for well less than a year and then sell on. If by then the €5k subsidy is gone, he'll likely get at least what he paid back, probably a grand or two more. Free car. Some of us do this for sport / the challenge and @Gumbo is particularly skilled at this game 😁

Quite possibly the best selling car in the world next year.

I am at the other end to you.. Had the sporty things when single/ married and one child, then moved to the estates and Superbs etc when needed more space with two kids, bikes etc. Now rarely more than two in my car, so Model 3 is ideal. Would seriously consider a LR or P next, but to be honest perhaps I should be thinking of the easier access of the Y as I age..😁

Could you put the link please? This sensor thing is super f annoying as park assist does not work at all at the moment until they software update it. Ffs

Why are Tesla texting you. Have you cancelled your order?

Has anyone else had emails/texts from them. I haven't heard a thing.

Tempted to just stick the id4 up on Donedeal now and test the waters.. probably a bit early yet. Might be an able to borrow something to keep me going though…..

I just sold mine off DD. Ended up being sold into the trade. Got back what we paid for it 2 years ago.

Having read the thread I was wondering if anyone has gotton an insurance quote yet or checked?

On the UK Forums folks are suggesting it is significantly more expensive that their xisting car (irrespective of the make/Model)

just ordered a used M3 from Tesla website

Long Range AWD, June 2021, facelift, Shanghai build

Black on black with 23k kilometres for €54k

I was looking at a lot of different options as a second car - closest was i4 demo - but at €83k a bit less range (and no Tesla supercharger network) I just couldn't justify it - was then leaning towards a Model Y - which I would have gone for if they hadn't sabotaged the park distance controllers 😂

(I even looked at a green taycan turbo s that Porsche Dublin are selling - 2020 but with no miles on it at all - couldn't believe it didn't even have adaptive cruise control 😱)

reckon the M3 will do 90% of what I need for a pretty fair price (considering the current market)

as usual, can't say enough positive about this forum, been a huge help to me 🤙

haha! sorry buddy!

I'm sure a lot more 2021 M3s will start popping up now as we go into the new year; def seemed to me that it was worth paying the smallish premium for a facelift - also seemed that Tesla website were cheaper than most non-tesla dealers - which is weird considering Tesla give you an extra year factory warranty

I'd have liked a Performance but it's a lot more cash and I think the suspension/wheels would just be too much for my missus

Well wear, sounds like a lovely car. A long range should do serious distance even at motorway speeds. What warranty in terms of years/kms would it have left on say battery/drivetrain ?

yeah the range, even at >125km/h, is really good ... at the price there is nothing that comes close I think

warranty was also a big plus for me: car was registered sep 2021 so it has four years standard warranty, plus 1 year for used approved purchase, meaning I'm covered until sep 2026!
