Despite the reports of comfort suspensions in 2023 MYs, mine feels really hard on sh&ty cork roads so the interior is progressively getting rattlier (if such word exists). Never experienced same level of interior noise on my previous VW cars (2x golf, one with sport suspension, a polo and and ID.3) although they had thicker tyres (16-18 inch with min 50 sidewalls). Can’t comment on the 2nd point as I only used superchargers in Ireland and in France I used a local Lidl charge found on plugshare.
I have two questions for Model Y owners:
Thanks!
Make the custom order.
See if it comes in time.
If it’s looking like it won’t closer the time, take an inventory order and cancel existing.
order under a different email too so they can’t link the test drive with the order therefore losing your distance selling rights for the €250 deposit.
Question for anyone who may have been in the same boat. Test drove the MY today in Cork and was happy to put down the deposit as they are currently 0% finance on custom and inventory orders.
Dealer told me that this 0% finance offer only applies until march 31st. I said that's perfect I'll pay the deposit now so to get the ball rolling. He then said if I choose to do a custom order and it's not delivered to me by March 31st then the 0% finance offer would be retracted and it would be 6.9% finance. I wanted the custom order as there's about a €32 difference in monthly payments and over 4 years this adds up to over €1500. Inventory model is more expensive than custom model as it has a tow hitch.
Anyone else found themselves in a similar scenario? Don't know what to do. I can guarantee the 0% finance by just buying the inventory model however I feel like I'm getting screwed for €1500 extra that I don't really need to pay I guess. Think I'm just going to bite the bullet but still slightly annoying as it doesn't seem like there's any point in offering 0% finance on custom orders if they're not going to guarantee that your order is delivered while the 0% finance is still being offered.
Wow, almost 2 tonnes!
I got it from ev-specifications. Could be different depending on spec https://www.evspecifications.com/en/comparison/9da167f8
Im I reading them wrong..ID3 tour 1860 kg vs MY 1909 kgs
😳 did not know that!
Funnily enough the curb weight of an ID.3 tour is 25kg more than an RWD Model Y.
I’d say so yeah.
Isnt the Y heavier as well?
Shows how efficient the Model Y is that it can do the same efficiency as the ID and the with 60 kWh that the ID does with 77 kWh, it might actually be a cheaper car to run.
Yeah it’s decently roomy in the back but we could do with a bigger boot and ability to carry roof boxes or bikes on the back. Or tow the camping trailer. We save an old Q5 as well which can do all that so it’s not the end of the world to keep the ID.3.
We rented an Id3 last summer in the UK for the week and was surprised my teenage son didnt complain about space sitting behind me even though he is prone to cramps now as he is at the apex of his growth spurt. The only downside to the 77 kwh is you sacrifice one back seat and the price is now higher/comparable to a RWD MY
Thanks. Yes I think it’s too fine a margin so it’s ruled out. Not pushed on spending the extra for LR. And yeah I know we could charge just really don’t want to on that journey with children etc.
anyone looking for decent range the ID.3 with 77 kWh battery really is a great car. We could just do with a tiny bit more space as it’s become the main car of course. I’d happily drive to Dublin - out to swords back in and home with plenty to spare. Living in the south east.
that’s very good for that size of car. We’d get about same on ID.3 which is a bit lighter.
Really don’t want to change into a car with higher consumption. Electricity bills are high here as it is! And as I said the EV in the house does a fair amount of mileage.
No but we get rain and wind which has a similar effect.
Lads just for a real life comparison that's important to me, is anyone driving a model Y from Dublin to Clare (Lahinch / Liscannor)? Just trying to figure out likelihood of making that trip without stopping so if anyone's doing it, it would be cool to know...
Looks like in Europe we can all expect Adaptive headlight functionality through software update soon enough .

i find EV database stats pretty accurate for both my old Audi Q4 and current MY .
250km at -10C driving at 110kph. Headwind seems to be biggest problem rather than cold weather we get here. So 120kph driving into a headwind of 10kph is same as driving at 130kph, which is 20/110 (18%) less efficient as driving at 110kph.
at 0 deg driving at 120kph on a calm night , my consumption has averaged about 21kwh/100km. That equates to a range of about 360km in the MY LR
Id say you’d be lucky to get 300km driving at 120kph with any sort of headwind on a winters night in a MY RWD.
if you will be dong 300km often , then get a LR for the extra 60-70km range. It will cost you though
We get -10C here once a decade, maybe..
Yes you'd do a 300km round trip on motorway at 120kmh.
Average around 15-16kwh/100km since March. Just driving normally, no hypermiling, or Leaf speed etc.
Decent at motorway speed too e.g. in December was 18.2kwh/100km for an hour at 120Kmh, with climate, heated seats, heated steering wheel in auto.
Obviously I wasn’t reassured. And I know what efficiency is dependent on thank you. I just haven’t needed to worry about it at all in the ID.3 Tour.
ev database says 250 km range in cold weather on highway That’s just not enough That’s at -10 and a speed of 110 km/hr so hardly tearing along
we regularly go to Dublin for hospital appointments. I want to be able to make that journey easily year round.
fits, if you have a reservation number for a Tesla you can join the Tesla Facebook Group where there are more active users and you might get more replies than here.
Easily doable ..efficiency is dependent on multiple factors driving style, acceleration, outside weather and temperature but you should get well in excess of what you mention from a full charge.. If you drive at 140km per hour maybe not! Try to be reassured by the comments from multiple users when you asked similar question 2 days ago
Can anyone living 130-150 km mostly motorway from Dublin tell me if they regularly make the return journey without needing to charge in a model y rwd?
Get her a set of S3XY buttons. Simple to install the controller and loads of stuff you can set the buttons to do, as well as some functions not available on the screen.
I have one set to 2 indicator flash to say thanks to truckers that move over to let me by. One is set to adjust regen. One for the glovebox. I have six buttons.
Used Ionity in Kill with an ev6 at the weekend. The price was 73c so a little dearer than ESB in J14 but no wait and pulled 191kwh charge, 31-80% in 17 minutes. I never seem to be able to get more than 60 in J14 no matter what the conditions are and usually charge for about 40 minutes. Breaks your heart paying 68c to only pull 60.
i was prepared to go as slow as 100kph to get to birdhill but i reckon i would have need to go to 80-90 kph and I wasn’t doing that on a motorway.
Baaed on the my “effective “ speed of 137kph (120kph + 17th headwind), 24kwh/100km wasn’t too bad.
J14 200kw charger only gave me 74kw, but was only there for 20 mins , but 68c per unit is nuts.
