Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Honestly, you don't need anything!!

When I got mine I got an after market wireless charger and aftermarket floor mats.. I did this as they didn't come with the car back then, but they do now.

Pick up the car, and use it for a few weeks, and then decide what you need.

I would however advise getting a High Endurance microSD card or SSD for Dashcam/Sentry as although Tesla give you a flash drive with the car, flash drives are not best placed to act as dashcam storage as the constant writing/re-writing is not great for them. Now it might still work fine for years and years, but at the same time could pack in after 6 months!! So ask yourself is it worth the risk especially when it comes to dashcam/sentry...

front small mudguards, with extenders if you need. (Not recommended as they apparently scrape ground). Carpet mats are included.

Yeah, if you want.

I only got mine a few months after getting the car, I put them on (flaps & extenders)c and noticed them rubbing all the time, then was out with Tesla for a warranty issue and they themselves recommended taking the extenders off, which they did for me…

Really ??, €44K+ on VW Ireland website

The maths on that ad doesnt compute.

€40,750 + €4,150 = €44,900

Until you go to sign on the dotted line, the dealer says "oh yeah, I forgot about the [insert bollox fee] of €200".

....and why do posters on Donedeal insist on writing in all-caps.

Is that a bit tongue in cheek?

I know what you mean, but the Tesla price calculator page is very confusing.... especially they they throw in the 'projected savings' nonsense... assuming everyone is coming from an ICE...

It's not nonsense IMO. I believe it does prompt people to do a spreadsheet comparing the running costs of a 40k ICE compared to a 40k Model 3. It certainly prompted me to do the real world calculations. Unsurprisingly the M3 would save me a considerable amount of money over the projected ownership period compared to an equivalent priced ICE.

You’re obviously not a member of the Firesale 80 club ?

Tesla work their magic at the other end offering paltry trade in values valid for 30days and a crystal ball for EDD’s.

The Tesla Ireland website doesn’t even list the correct price? the model 3 for €42,990, but the cash price is €40,750 or something. We might all know it’s a mistake cause we’re in the know, but people genuinely looking at Tesla for the first time won’t follow through to see the difference.

and they need to drop all the ‘price after savings’ garbage. We all drive different mileage and pay different prices for electricity or fuel, but I’ll bet the generic savings numbers they use haven’t been updated in years and were far too high to begin with.

the only thing Tesla do that’s different to other car manufacturers is that their options list is basically just wheels and paint, which I’m a huge fan of.

What year and km on the clock is yours?

Im dreading trading this thing in. The new price is great for buyers now but an absolute disaster for people like us. When the grant goes fully it will help but I’m not sure this car will be worth the ballon payment when I’m done. I’m predicting it will but there will be little to no equity.

On the other hand you would hope other brands stop the weird deals and actually reduce prices but it’s not a given since a lot are sold on finance so stuff like zero % pcps will be attractive.

I really like this car but at the moment I wouldn’t get another mainly because of this. My mind may change on that depending on how the market is over the next year or two but the large drop felt like a sucker punch.

XPEL Paint protection film on entire front end, wingmirrors, rocker panels, lower door (up to the first design line), rear arch (front & rear edge) and luggage load lip. Paint correction on entire car. XPEL ceramic coating on entire car. Coating on glass, wheels, and interior.

All in just under 3,500. Done by Flawless Detailing (flawless.ie) in Finglas.

That’s the annoying thing…

it’s showing you €42,990, but at the bottom it’s showing the actual price of €40,332…..

Absolutely no need to show €42990 on that page!!! I’d say it throws so many people off..
