Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Just was on to Teslas and the lady said new lower prices will definitely be updated on current orders within next 24-48 hours!

So delighted with this price drop!

Was offered a car in November but I decided to wait till new year. Boy am I glad now!

Email in from Tesla to say existing orders pricing will be updated to new more affordable pricing

Are the prices on the Irish Website the Old or the new Prices?

They are the new ones that were updated overnight.

Those with existing orders still have the old pricing in their accounts which will update in the next day or two

Wow what a kick in the teeth. Could have got a blue long range for what I paid for a blue rwd. Very disappointing!

How much was the model 3 LR and Performance yesterday?

I think what happened today is a shock to the whole system, particularly the second hand markets. When one of the largest drops their prices it has repercussions across all manufacturers. Most of the EV forums on FB etc are discussing atm.

Ok, we all expected prices to at some stage to level off or drop, but I don't think anyone could foresee such a large drop. Personally I welcome what has happened, knowing that like others I have taken a hit today. But only if I sell in the near future which I don't intend to do. And who knows the future with Geo politics, Grants going, etc.

Best of luck to new buyers, particularly if they are buying without trading in or have already sold their present motors..

Thems the breaks….

I'm sure they’ll console themselves with the fact they still have what is an utterly brilliant car.

In my opinion the interior of the polestar 2 felt very cramped, nice but cramped. MY feels much more roomy imo

Fair enough, and every single Tesla owner will swallow this, but it will definitely leave a bad taste. Our family has a m3LR, bought just as the grant went away in June 2021. It’s €8k cheaper now, but anyone who bought that car from July 2022 onwards has lost €5k more again

EV’s depreciate less than other propulsions, but the €65k Tesla m3LR might well turn out to have the worst depreciation in its class in any propulsion, for that price. Hard to see the 2nd hand value being more less than €20k depreciation after 2 years

Picked mine up in September. Just saw the price drop news. Repayments wouldn't be much different due to current higher interest. In my situation, I needed more range. Glad I picked up in September. Not at all bitter. At those prices, I may well pick up a used 2022 MY next year to compliment the 3......with included USS 😁

Compared to 2019, the M3P is about 2.5k more expensive.

M3LR is ~7k cheaper today, in 2019 it was around 3k cheaper than the Performance

I’m trying to remember the original SR+ price, was it €49k? I had a deposit in March 2016 but cancelled long before the 192’s started arriving.

I’ve been watching M3 ads on carzone for about a year and for sure the LR’s were the ones with a more normal depreciation curve, coming down pretty close to SR+ for a 2020/21. LR’s seem to sell too at that money, but most of my saved SR+ are all still there, at silly money usually.

there were 40-45 M3’s on carzone for months, give or take, 47 yesterday after this news broke and 57 this morning, albeit €42k still the cheapest, a 192.

has there ever been a situation where a new car was so much cheaper than the 2nd hand market?

If I was in the market to upgrade to a new RWD, I’d probably put my 2020 SR+ (which cost in or around €49k) in about €40k to try and shift it quick…. A few months ago Tesla offered me €44k for it!! So I’d still try them too and see what they’d offer (much less now I assume).

But as much as I’d love to get a new RWD for almost every upgrade the cars gotten since the Model 3 first arrived here, I just don’t really need to! My car is still fantastic… (except for auto wipers, auto wipers are sh1t)

We’re mortgage clear in 3 months, but have since taken on a smaller mortgage abroad with the intention of clearing it in 5 years… so maybe then we’ll get a new one…. And sell the current one for whatever it’s worth at the time..

And knowing Tesla, I’d buy one this year and within a few months the facelift version will probably be out..

Happy to know that for the foreseeable future anyway, a Tesla remains an affordable car for us.
