Pull the flap back carefully and take another pic.
If its surface deep only then should be fine, if its deeper than that then not so much.
Have we any tyre damage experts in the house? I'm biting down on the wooden dowel with this one...
Flap seems really thin fwiw
Are you changing it for a PHEV?
If anybody is looking for a used Tesla Model 3 2022 RWD White with 4k mileage, PM me as I am looking to sell mine
Thanks! I had heard of UFODrive before but always thought they were a luxury car rental and too expensive.
Looking at it they're actually pretty reasonable to rent a Tesla
As far as I know Tesla don't offer extended testdrives but just threw the ufodrive here as a way to try a Tesla for a longer time. Another possibility might be a third party (2nd hand) garage that wanted to shift one of their cars in stock.
Oh, was it a rental? I thought OP got a test drive from Tesla itself and was allowed to keep for a weekend
You'd have to make a trip to Dublin: https://www.ufodrive.com/locations/dublin-stephens-green-car-rental
Been wondering the same thing. Living in Galway, it would be handy to keep it for a weekend
@technocrat I wondered this too - hasn't thought of it but expect there's a waiting list?
How do you get an extended test drive ? Seems a great idea considering how different a Tesla is compared to an ICE car. PM if you prefer not to publish.
No adapter needed. You will be using CCS charger head on fast charger and in most cases, if using slow charger, the type2 cable is in the car.
No adaptor needed as the Tesla Model 3/Y are CCS as standard which is the same as 95% of EV’s on the road…
the Tesla Superchargers will hardly ever be full, and Tesla’s charge so fast you wouldn’t be waiting long anyway if the site was full…. The ESB chargers you have more of a chance of having to queue, but they are spread out a bit further than the Superchargers…
Yea I am pretty much new to EVs so might take your advice and signup on the ESB app as a fallback if the Tesla chargers aren’t available or nearby at the time.
Will the ESB cable plug directly into a Tesla or will I need an adapter?
Are you new to EV’s or just new to Tesla?
as if completely new to EV’s it might be worth signing up to ESB eCars and getting the app in case you need to charge outside of the Tesla network..
How does he think he can get more in a private sale than a dealer can?
Who said Teslas were losing value, this was for sale last month in a dealers for €45k (which was good value) now up privately for slightly more

Thanks guys 😊
Knowing the above info I am really looking forward to sampling the whole Tesla experience.
I’ll report back in a few weeks with feedback following the extended test drive.
Yep, I should have mentioned that above…
the car is the card…. And once the car is plugged in, it has a little handshake with Tesla HQ and the charger starts dispensing the kWh’s
No cards or any of that messing at Tesla SuC’s. Just park and plug in.
The car should be set up to charge on the Superchargers, and they’ll be most likely comping this to you, but just ask upon collection…
Enjoy the car.
I am actually getting it direct from Tesla for a long weekend.
As it’s free trial I was hoping to pay my own way for charging but they may supply a card or give app access to a group account?
Who’s lending you the car?
if it’s a friend, you can simply get the Tesla app and they can grant you access to the car for a specific amount of time.
Supercharger billing will always go to the registered owner (registered with Tesla), and be billed to the cc they have in their account.
Who ever owns the car will have an account, so you can plug and play on superchargers. They will then get a bill afterwards for the power used in the car. They will likely also have the other accounts for ecars and others, maybe even a card or two in the car.
I am going to have a loan of an M3 for a few days at the end of month and have a query about using the supercharger network.
According to my info I need a Tesla account to use the superchargers, so can I register an account even though I don’t own a Tesla right now?
Ah yes! Yorkshire reg on it! Forgot about VAT!
VAT maybe?
Am I missing something or is there P3 pretty good value even after VRT?
Thank you both. 90%, and sentry off. That'll do then.
Only charge it to 90% (even if it’s a RWD with LFP), and it’ll be grand…. (Or plan to be at about 90% when you park it up)
just make sure you give the battery a decent cycle before you leave (down to 20% and back up to 90-100%) so it can properly calibrate itself.
Sentry mode is fine now after the update that let you adjust its sensitivity…. It will only record and save physical threats now as opposed to saving everything from cars driving past to a plastic bag blowing past…..
