Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Technology should be deflationary, it's only the current money system baked-in inflation that has prices going up year on year.

Luckily we have Elon...

I imagine a lot of people want the SUV CUV shape, and have forgotten how to sit into a saloon car with their 105 year old spines, though I recognise that the EV6 and Ioniq are not high sitting compared to Zoe, LEAF, etc. On the other hand, that confirms that the M3 will soon be like an upmarket Ford Focus circa 2010 as it will be ubiquitous and part of the suburban furniture on every street. I wonder what effect it will have on the mid-market sales. I'll probably want to sell the LEAF e+ quick now to retain capital for a new or a decreased price refresh RWD. Mental to think that a new LR is now the price of the old RWD.

My local credit union does an auto-loan for 3.95% APR, a model 3 now works out at €447p/m with no deposit over 10 years with that offer... It's still too expensive for me personally but there's plenty above me who will fall into the net now and will hopefully trickle down to the lower priced cars further reducing in price

VRT documentation and tyre recycling fees almost make up the 5k, it's €44,370 when all this is taken into account

Hard on any of us who have bought recently, but at least I got in sub €50K last March. But this is going to shake up the whole market, cannot see the excellent trade ins continuing.

But I am just going to continue enjoying my excellent car was too much to expect the excellent depreciation continuing.

I've my car for the long haul anyway, not as an investment, so not too worried about depreciation (in the over inflated market that existed). With this price drop, however, I'm glad that it brings most of the range of M3/MY back under the grant level and can hopefully spur other manufacturers to also compete on price.

Make that €46,198 !!!

Sorry had wrong seats selected...

As long as you've ordered personally (not business), you can get your €250 deposit back under distance selling regulations.

I just called Tesla at 015134727 and asked about my existing order.

I was told that they were just made aware this morning of the price changes, and they believe that Tesla will honour the price change for existing orders, and I don't need to cancel and reorder to avail of the reduction. She told me that if that was incorrect, she would email me.

Just looking at what colour to order. Torn between Blue & get a white and wrap it. 😅 Any idea what you'd be looking at for a full body wrap?

Sorry for the dumb question - to which email address have you sent the email to? Cheers

Not even sure if it's the right one! But I replied to the guy that was emailing me about signing SEAI grant form?

Generally I have kept cars up to around 8 years old. Never bought new yet but plan would probably be similar or possibly even longer.

I am thinking exactly the same.
