They will ask for payment around 3 weeks before delivery. They will give you time to pay, but will only register the car, 24-48 hours before delivery, only when payment is registered on your account. Payment is normally registered there within 24 hours.
Ah okay this helps a lot, was thinking you'd be left carless and down ~50k for weeks or possibly months.
Tesla resale must be all over the place now with the latest Model 3 reductions. Any used car dealer with a few Teslas in their yard are never going to want to see one again.
It will surely hit other EV’s too if you can pick up a brand new base model Tesla for €40K
It will be a hard sell for the new Ioniq 6 53kWh. Base model at over €49K and only 151hp with 429km on WLTP.
It should do but the last round didn’t really drop the prices of other EV’s. But what it did do, was send people in the fence to Tesla.
If they had a few other locations around the country it would help. Sales must be very concentrated in certain areas.
The low sales numbers do not at all reflect the Tesla situation around the part of Dublin where I live, you can't move without seeing a Tesla around here. Lots of 231 Ys have joined all the 3s.
(I appreciate this is a circular conversation, and on a Y thread full of buyers!)
I hold two conflicting views - I think the Y is the best car for sale today, but I also think Vision only needs to miss a solid bollard or whatever just once, ever, and I’ve a few grand repair bill. this thread has 3 cases of dented rear bumpers on weeks old Y’s just in the last few pages alone, and even some folks talking seriously about retrofitting sensors to an expensive brand new car - can you imagine the depreciation on the latter! 🤪
I would never try to park a car using USS alone, not sure why you're suggesting anyone would do the same with Tesla Vision and hit a bollard. If you're not comfortable parking/manoeuvring a car using your eyes and ears with the help of reverse/side/forward cameras then the 2023 Model Y is not the car for you. I imagine 95+% of driving licence holders won't have an issue.
Can you lift a Y with a scissor jack and if so, has anyone gotten one yet?
Fully agree, the cameras are great and if you are not comfortable parking then you actually should get out of the car and have a look exactly where you're trying to put it.
How many on here have actually walked around the car and truly studied how long/wide it actually is?
As someone who drives a large public service vehicle for work, I know how important it is that you understand the dimensions of your vehicle.
Has anyone moved from a Model 3 RWD LFP to a Model Y RWD, if so how’s it going range wise/in general?
10% less as documented by many.
I know, just looking for feedback or stats from actual owners here.
Some Aliexpress wheel covers added today, I think they make a big difference from the Geminis
I've the same ones ordered for whenever my blue MY arrives. They look great!
They look really good, sets the blue and black off nicely. Well wear!
Are they essentially 19" "induction" covers if you get me?
Could you provide a link to the covers you bought, for the insomniacs amongst us!? 😂😭
No. They are the 19” Gemini covers.
The inductions are 20”.
Yes that's what I'm asking. To me they LOOK like the inductions, but in a 19" cover size to replace the existing hub caps on the normal Gemini wheels.
They look great all the same
This is what I ordered in matte black, haven’t arrived yet though. Not sure who @bf ordered from
This is the seller I bought from - delivery was 3 weeks

They look great, more sporty imo, not to mention more protection from rim rash!
Have these on the way too in gun metal grey.
I picked up similar ones from a lad who ended up cancelling his order around the time of the fire sale.

I realise I’m in an extreme minority but I actually don’t mind the basic wheel design that comes with the Y
That's a really good price too!
Thanks.
Do you have the RWD or LR?
Do you think the caps would have an effect on range etc?
This guy says that the original Tesla caps (on M3 anyways) were designed for optimum range etc:
20km penalty or otherwise known as "who cares".
Folks - enjoy your EV - if saving a few cents was your goal you'd hardly have dropped €48K!! 😂
I was thinking of ordering a small speed panel like the following as the missus wasn't keen on the test drive of the speedometer in the center.
I know, "try it first" etc (what I said) but I don't want any "deal breakers" if you get me for something that can be cheaply avoided.
I was thinking this:
Or maybe this one:
They are almost the same, but the cheaper one seems to have more indicators. The dearer one though seems to be a bit more premium but hard to trust seller pictures. I was thinking the first one because it has more user feedback and actual pictures.
Anyone else have or plan to get a hud/driver instruments panel, etc?
I watched some YouTube reviews of similar displays, I like how neat and discreet these ones are that fit in the air vent. Personally I'll be waiting to see how I go with the central screen but for less than €20 you can't go wrong if it keeps the better half happy 😉
