I didn’t think so either but I can’t argue with BF as he bought it new himself.
Well back then in 2919 the M3p- or stealth was 61k ( I bought one) and the M3p (with performance upgrade) - bigger wheels brakes etc was 4k more. Changes to the budget in 2021 meant business customers couldn't get the grants any more.
Question.....
When the inevitable happens and 2nd hand Model 3s get cheaper.
How does the process of registering with Tesla* work when you are 2nd or subsequent owner and its NOT a car sold to you by Tesla.
Say if you are the person who buys this example**
*for Supercharging and other stuff.
**Purely for illustration purposes only - not specifically interested in this example.
I'ts the same process, whether it was bought direct or not. Supercharging is not relevant as all Tesla cars can avail of Supercharging.You just open a Tesla account online and you can register your vehicle that was purchased from a 3rd party by entering its VIN
Thank you.
looks very straightforward - you just download the app and away you go
Very straight forward.
The seller can even invite you to to take ownership of the car through their app.

just checked the invoice, €62,500 for my M3P in November 2019!
Quick question.
Anywhere in South Dublin that will fit tyres that aren't bought there? Online prices are hard to beat but will any garage fit tyres that aren't purchased there?
So €67,500 (allowing for grant).
yep!
To buy one now is €75,177. So not as major a jump as I thought in fairness.
Any tyre place worth their salt should do it for you….
I’ve had the last 8 tyres fitted on my cars done by the local tyre place, where I supplied the tyres myself.
Cheers Andy.
Was just wondering if they'd be a bit hostile considering you didn't buy from them in the first place!!
If you go on Eiretyres.com and enter your location as Dublin, they show details for 40 “partner garages” that fit tyres for a fee. You obviously don’t necessarily have to buy from Eiretyres. It’ll probably cost you €20 per wheel including disposal and balancing.
I believe you can also have the tyres sent direct to the partner installer closest to you…
I’m sure you can but I find tyreleader or oponeo are usually cheaper than eiretyres.
For all the Telsa lovers out there.

You simply need to create a free Tesla account. You can then add a new car from the dashboard
The seller obviously needs to remove or transfer the car from their account. See the guide below for details on how this is done.
The bottom line of that webpage states "If the car has been added to other accounts then it should disappear from these automatically. Once done, the car will disappear from the Tesla app and the previous owner will have no ability to access the car."
Disposal is €5/tyre, you can recycle two tyres free per visit to your local recycling centre thereby saving €20 if replacing all corners
What tyres are most people running on their cars (18"), Are you sticking to the Pilot Sport Acoustic or what are the other options people have tried and worked well?
Stock at the minute but when time comes to change it will be Michelin Primacy 4 acoustic
Hi there - looking for some advice please. I'm a prospective 1st time Tesla owner and can't decide if I should buy used or new. I'm looking at an M3 RWD
If I buy new, I'll put a deposit down and do a PCP deal. If used, same deposit but HP over 5 years. The monthly repayments are around €60 in the difference but of course I'm aware that on PCP I'd have the GMFV to contend with at the end of the term. I don't keep cars too long so doubt I'll have it more than 2 years.
I guess my question is, is a new one at €53K better value than a used 2020/2021 at €45K/€47K? I'm worried if I buy new it'll be without the ultrasonic sensors (which doesn't bother me personally) and perhaps later in the year, new M3's will come with the sensors fitted once again so I'll own an M3 that was built without them potentially impacting resale?
Sorry for rambling but I've read through these forums a bit and you all seem like very helpful folk so I'd appreciate your thoughts.
If going used be aware that the spec changed sometime in late 2021. Battery increased from 50/55kWh approx to 60kWh LFP. Other extras that may not be on earlier models are electric boot, Ryzen chip, Matrix lights, heated steering wheel and refreshed interior. Probably other items. Earlier models had a little extra performance.
Just to add, I am sure you are aware that the Model Y RWD is priced the same as Model 3 RWD at the moment. Cannot see that lasting. Had that been the case I probably would have gone for the Y last March when I purchased my 3.
Very happy with my 3, prefer it in many ways to the Y, but future residual value should be better on the Y.
Thanks for all the info! Good to know on the spec changes in your previous comment. After that cold weather in December, I would like the heat pump. I have driven the Y, really liked it but I don't like the look of it as much as the 3.
Heat pump is standard now on the 3, presume also on the Y. Not sure if was always on the 3, others here would know.
Heat pump standard since inception on our Ys, new enough on the Model 3, all of 2022 deliveries, possibly sooner.
I agree with you on sensors and resale value
You might also find that if waiting a bit longer, like a month or two, the prices of both new and used will come down. In larger markets like France, used 2021s with the 55kWh LFP battery start at 38k EUR, and 2022 RWDs with the 60kWh at 42k EUR. France and UK have abundant stock, of course, and our prices would be lower if we had access to the UK market as before.
The current M3 pricing for new cars is unusual in that it is the same as the MY but costs less to manufacture, I would guess. I suspect it will become a bit like it has in other markets (Aus, China, etc. see thread above). Tesla have hugely ramped up production compared to other EV makers, so current supply levels should help them flatten prices and keep stock moving.
2021 55kWh LFP (SR+) has the heat pump, matrix lights, refreshed interior, wireless charging, powered boot. Then the 60 kWH 'RWD' model late 2021/2022 also (I think) has heated wipers and a few other minor things, but also a slower motor (0 to 100kmh in 6 sec instead of 5.6 sec for earlier models).
