It's just people not taking care when driving.
How long did that take with DB?
It was Wheel Wizards that told me no. Said I'd need to bring the wheel, otherwise they'd only take the car itself if all 4 were being done. It's not possible or practical for me to go taking off the wheel and bringing it somewhere.
€800 is excessive and I suspect there’s a lot of profit in it for the person telling you that.
HiTec Wheel finishes in Rosemount in Dublin 15 are €115 per wheel. And they are excellent. They done my 21” wheels last year and they actually travel out to main dealers to collect stock for repairs. If it’s €115 to me as I turn up at the door, I’d suspect a main dealer to get a bulk discount.
Wheel Wizards in Finglas are circa €400 and they are just as good. The only thing that would make me pick one over the other was availability to take the car etc
I got 2 done recently from DB Autobody. They are at the back of United Tyres on Lower Walkinstown Avenue. €60 a wheel as they just needed local repair and painting and blending.
Usually a full refurb is about €400 from Wheel Wizards in Finglas depending on the wheel size. I’m generally getting 20”, 21” done so the 18” may be a bit cheaper.
Seen a lot of M3 wheels badly kerbed. Was talking to a dealer who said a lot of their M3s need the wheels refurbed at €800 a set
Wheel has been kerbed. It wasn't me. 🤬 I'm not impressed.
I took it to a place to fix but they said they wouldn't as it's not worth their while. Anyone done it themselves? or suggestions for someone to fix without taking the whole wheel
There should be a good few company cars starting to roll off 3 & 4 year leases over the next 12 months also, although these are generally sold direct to trade, so the dealers will be adding their margins.
I agree, I think that the new Highland models headlights and bumper make the car look "sleeker".
There have been a couple of high mileage 2019 model 3's that have gone for 20-23k. Their prices will surely fall further when the new Highland models reach the Irish customers.
Great to get that perspective from someone familiar with both
I wouldn’t worry about getting an ID3. Very good car. Wouldn’t have sold mine for my Model 3 had the second hand market not been crazy high at the time. ID was a fun car, very refined and well screwed together..😊
Definitely - I also have several used cars saved for months and they aren't moving. For an extra 3-4K in many cases you get a new car instead, 0Km, full warranty, no unknown driving history, and possibly 0% finance if timed right.
I suspect sellers are anchored by the price they paid pre price cuts, which is human nature, but totally irrelevant to current valuations.
With a new Y I don't really want to stretch to a new model 3 price as our other car, and may now end up with an ID3 or similar, as the second had teslas prices represent no value in my view.
Best value at Moment is Model 3 LR RWD (still a few in Inventory for immediate delivery with cheap finance which saves thousands over life of loan for anyone avaialing of finance)
In a word yes. New is the best value tesla still.
Not many cars on the 2nd hand market. LRs are the best value if you can get a good deal. A late 21 or 22 car was €65/67k new, but obviously significantly less now with all the price cuts. Not many owners getting out of them to crystallise the loss, except those moving to the Y maybe.
the only benchmark of sorts appears to be 2020 cars selling in the €23-28k range, anything more and they just sit there. I’ve some private sale ads saved for months and months asking slightly more but not selling. they’d have been roughly €48k cars new I think, and they’d be US cars with the chrome and different batteries, so it’s about right for 3yr depreciation.
Currently it seems like it would actually be better value to buy a new Tesla than buy 2nd hand. Am I off the mark here? Do we think the 2nd hand price of a model 3 will come down significantly prior to the year end or the beginning of next year?
Owners, don’t ignore the servicing of the car. I was lucky. Mechanic said my oil filter was completely worn and needed replacement today.
I think there is a qr code on the driver's door. Hard to see in these pictures and I only saw it with my bad eyes coming out of the roundabout but I believe I saw something resembling a QR on it. Let's assume a publicity stunt. I found it funny
They might just be a fan of Sloane Street videos from 2015
How do you know he has money. Getting a car wrapped isn't that dear. Or maybe he is some arab on a visit and got the car gold plated. Well if so then yes I agree with you.
Harsh. Maybe they just like gold. Life's better with a bit of difference.
Proof that money (or access to leverage) doesnt buy taste or class.
Did anybody else see this golden Tesla roaming Dublin streets? Sorry for the quality it is taken by the Tesla cam
Now the wait begins 😁
Hahaha how strange. i tried it on my phone and it worked! thank you so much
They do indeed. Try it on a different phone or another browser.
I tried placing the order but it comes with "Your card number was invalid. Try again" ... it is a revolut card. do they not accept revolut?? i assume they just see a visa card
When do people apply for the financing through Tesla, should I wait until closer to the delivery date in case they drop the APR?
Also, I assume the mileage you choose for the PCP only matters if you plan on trading it back in to Tesla?
It looks like the finance deals are up but it's 6.9% for Model 3 versus 3.9% for Model Y.
It takes the temp set in climate page
Folks, herself is using cabin preheating in the morning but I can't for the life of me see where to set the cabin temperature at, any idea?
If you originally chose the Model Y I presume you need the extra space or the height? There will be a very mild refreshed MY coming next year. It's available to order in China but it's only a matter of time before it's available to order here. It will have the same 0-100km/h time as the M3 RWD, slight more range due to different tyres, slightly different dash(no wood), and black plastic wheel caps instead of the current white caps.
