Why would you need to pay 20K more to buy something else? You can get an ID4 for 2-3K more, Toyota have dropped the price of the BZ as well. Loads of options now in the SUV style for reasonable money.
Having had a Tesla with and without there's no impact in my opinion. Test drive one and see how you get on. You've 3 reverse cameras and autopilot (adaptive cruise control) that comes as standard is good.
Also the User interface is very intuitive and never missed the android auto I had on my previous Hyundai
The fact they can knock 10k/4k off cars at will is it really for cost cutting measures they are removing things like stalks? How expensive is it for them to stick stalks on a car? Surely if it costs them a few hundred to put in stalks (which it probably doesn't even cost that at massive bulk) they can just add a few hundred to a car and it's covered and nobody would bat an eyelid.
Probably best to pay 20k more and buy something else if the removal of those two items "shocked" you.
The removal of the stalks in the m3 may "terrify" you if you look into that.
We have a m3 with sensors and one without and it's grand. A camera at the front would be a nice addition but we both drove cars with no sensors or cameras in the past and managed fine.
It's cost cutting dressed up as progress - taken to the extreme in the new Model 3 Highland which has no indicator stalks or gear shift (well, there's one on the roof apparently!). Would make you worried for the future of the company if they're chasing the bottom line that hard to support the share price.
Anyway, if you think cameras are not a good replacement for radar / sensors (when parking anyway), you'd be correct - it's often a useless barrage of bongs and blongs. Having said that, the rear camera is very good and I've had no issues in 11 months to date. I don't really use CC though so not much help on that.
I'm considering getting a Model Y, despite some misgivings about the single screen/infotainment/lack of apple car play/AA.
I was rather shocked to discover today that Telsa have removed all parking sensors and cruise control radar from their cars now?! I presume the intention is that the parking alerts and adaptive cruise control still work as they would in any car with sensors/radar, just using the cameras? or is it completely different? Can anyone confirm what its like in reality?
I have no real interest in the enhanced autopilot stuff/self driving stuff, but I couldn't live without solid cruise control, or reliable parking sensors/cameras. Seems bizarre to do away with these? The model y seems like such an attractive package but these kind of tesla-isms worry me...
The problem is that the software is incorrectly calibrated. I'm amazed they've made it this far in the car's lifecycle without providing a OTA update to address the issue this side of the Atlantic. It's probably not so much of an problem in the US as most people drive huge SUV's.
You can lower the headlight beam in the service menu, usually 2 notches downwards for each side will do the trick. Take a look at RSymoms's video on the topic.
Hopefully they'll release a OTA update soon to enable matrix functionality like on M3H.
I went out to the car and the update was waiting for me. No adaptive headlights which is a shame as I’m getting tired of being flashed by cars almost every time I drive at night. I have even been on the receiving end of another Tesla and they really are bright. Probably the brightest I have come across.
I must be thinking of the non-white colours.
The RWD model dropped 4K across the board.
It dropped to €41,832 a few weeks ago alright.
Did the MY drop in price by another 2K after the big price drop in January?
Could have sworn it was 43.8k for the RWD in white in the new year price cut.
Yes I have 2024.2.3 on model Y. From release notes:
Reminder to plug in at home and security updates.
has anyone had an update past 2023.44.30.9? There has been 2 updates released to the wider customer base outside Ireland since this update but nothing here yet for me.
also adaptive headlights? Are they coming to Ireland (says new model 3 in the update release notes but some have mentioned on other sites it’s for model y in Europe!)
Also… a neighbour has the refresh model 3. Very impressed. It should be very popular.
thanks
They can't use the test drive to kill off your distance selling rights (they may try) as the order occurs online not when you did the test drive. Test drive is just that - nothing to do with the actual order. As said they may try but eventually will recant. And if not 25eur for small claims.
Yeah i saw that so hence looking at a new one. RK73 seems to have answered the why!
If you're getting 0% finance, then you're better off to keep the PCP deposit as low as possible. Sell the trade in elsewhere (you'll get a better price anyway) and use the funds for something else. Most efficient use would be to pay down any other existing debt, so you're saving interest. Even if you put the deposit into a fixed savings account for 3 or 4 years, you're better off.
Likely the used pricing hasn't accounted for the price drop on the new cars. Dealers probably bought the car in at a higher price so are still trying to shift it to recoup the costs - they'll have a hard time doing so
There's very few of them available yet 2nd hand, so it probably inflates existing 2nd hand prices a bit. Should drop in a year or 2.
What's more strange is that Tesla inventory shows 232 basic demo models for sale at a higher price than custom build!
Maybe i am going mad here, but you can get a brand new Tesla Y for 41.8k (albeit base model)
The cheapest used model Y I see on carzone is a 231 at €39,750 so about a year old. Is this used pricing a bit off?
PCP is set as
Deposit + compound interest rate * (loan repayments + GFMV)
Deposit here is the equity in your existing car and or cash, and that part can only be 30% of the total
PCP deposit can only be a max of 30% of the car.
Hi all,
Quick question. I'm looking to buy a Tesla on PCP with a trade in. On their finance page the max amount for a deposit is €22,477.
But i have a trade in as well. So can pay the full deposit + the trade in. Or trade in + the balance to the amount of €22,477.
Its not clear on their website.
Thanks,
Rob
100% or even near new Pirelli tyres. It could be the infamous “scrubbing”. I had it on my model S and instantly gone when I swapped to Continental tyres.
I recently put Pirelli on the M3P and I’ve started to notice it too.
It was common on Porsches and mainly effects the bigger wheels.
Balding tyres will make this noise especially when there is a turn on the reverse, I had it with my Model S, disappeared instantly after new tyres fitted
Double post
I do a 290 round trip 2/3 times a week. Usually get home with about 10 battery.
What wheels and what tyres?
It will be dealt with under warranty. The price is an estimate for them internally. I would ask them in the chat anyway.
Quick Question anyone, Ive had a few rattles in the Rear of car Model Y LR and ranger has been able to fix at home,
It took a few goes to get to where i am today, Anyway I booked another service request for (Similar Rattle) Rear boot door,
My Present service request was only pushed towards a service center on the item(s) description in the invoice is for works to be completed with the Suspension tasks to be completed followed by a 1 hour test drive by two afterwards for the two items I highlighted in the service request but no mention of the rear boot door.
This will be my first time going to a service Center can this confusion be expressed in person ?, OR Can anyone tell me they have had similar works carried out on their Suspension?, As the invoice is a tad bit pricey - Should this work be carried out under goodwill as car has very low KM's ??
Straight to service. Clunks are usually suspension or drive components.
Loost bolts, broken shafts, missing bearings.
