Tesla Model Y

FYI my order agreement has been updated on my account to reflect new prices.

I would imagine it's electronically there to protect the motor and drive train. It is still very fast however..

They disabled it in the firmware?

No. The Tesla was delivered without parking sensors (USS/ultrasonic sensors). So although it was in the car spec when I ordered in March 2022, I have no park assist (delivery December) and until now no "vision" based replacement (and no timeline for when this might arrive).

I have no problem with everything else about my car but cannot understand how people are all over the internet are defending Tesla/Musk.

Mine still showing Feb 21 - Mar 09 despite changing to 20’ wheels (which I’m still unsure about!)

Unfortunately there is no guarantee. The reality is any Model Y for delivery in Ireland in Q1 are more than likely already on a boat from China to Zebrugge - in previous years I think Irish stock used to go via the UK with their stock, which gave more options given the volume of cars going to uk

UK stuff now goes direct from China to Southampton, so we don’t get the benefit of those additional cars.

yours is a straightforward order (ie no tow bars or a rwd with alloys which didn’t make grant previously), so fingers crossed it makes Q1 delivery for you

I thought you were joking when you said yesterday that the deal was so good you ordered a second. Clearly not!

Do you or @Gumbo have a view as to whether Tesla could further reduce the cost of the Model Y in future (e.g. when/if grant disappears, Tesla drops the price to keep the 3/Y affordable)?

Did you ever park around the back? I did a year or two ago, was lucky to get out again😁.

Was up in Belfast a week or so ago. More space there, but Sandyford is not really fit for purpose any more.

Totally agree about the one pedal driving. On your review, I would agree it has the premium economy feel! I really like the interior of the Ioniq 5 and it a much nice place to be compared to inside an EV6 however, I think the Tesla interior is superior to both.

I’m in the same boat on this, changed my Oct order to induction wheels and everything else the same. Still saying Feb 21 - Mar 9.

Just trying to get my head into the Tesla Ecosystem and have a couple of Q's for those who have gone before us.

1) Servicing - I know there are service centres and Call out 'Rangers' but do you get to decide which way you want to proceed for a given piece of work or do Tesla Decide? Does it cost extra for the same issue or service depending on how it is dealt with? For any warranty issues who decides and can one approach take longer than the other?

2)Premium Connectivity - How much does it cost and is it worth it in your experience?

Tks all

Hope you’re right in relation to a straightforward order but I think the LR in Black/Black was probably very popular with new orders and updated orders in recent days that had to be under the grant. There can only be so many of them on the boat if it’s already loaded ?
