Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Well, I am looking at Marine traffic sites anyway… :D

TOREADOR reached Zeebrugge 00:11 today (17th). And from what I have gathered, it's either CELINE or THAMES HIGHWAY that brings these cars from Zeebrugge to us. Both are currently docked in different ports in the UK. So perhaps their next run is to Zeebrugge and then to Dublin. Fingers crossed.

It looks like the Celine will be in Zeebrugge tomorrow

I have an estimated delivery of 19th July to 3rd August. Guessing the 19th is out then :)

What would the "waranty distance" limit have been on M3P in 2021 ?

Wondering about : https://www.futuredrivalia.ie/car-details/?3778682=2021%20Tesla%20Model%203

Booked test drive for tomorrow.

Isn't there one inside the armrest? Must have a look next time in car, but there is certainly a lighter socket in there somewhere..

Edit, there are two usb-c in the forward compartment in my 2022 Model 3, none under arm rest except for the 12V socket. Highland probably same.

And they have pushed mine out too by a week. :(

On the plus side, the trade-in offer is in, and it's about 65% of the asking prices I see from businesses in Donedeal.

But do you know what - it's actually DOUBLE of what VW offered me. And worse yet, it's good 25% more than what my car's own dealer offered me (where I service the car all these years) and I was there to buy a new model from them!!

Elmo might be a dangerous man, but these local car sales people - they administer death by a thousand cuts. I would rather go out in a bang with Elmo.

05:45 in the video below. He actually charges his laptop from the 65w usb c port.

Have any of you M3 users installed a blue 16A / 32A blue socket at home for charging? This looks like a much cheaper option than a Smart Charger.

The 16A outlet should be straightforward. The 32A outlet would probably need a priority unit added if you have a power shower.

Link here to one guy who has done it:

Did a couple of longer journeys over the weekend and found to my annoyance that not disabling sentry mode can be a right pita if you need a minimum soc to reach a charger. I ended up losing 8% soc and hadn't sufficient range to reach Mahon Point Supercharger in Cork. I went to a ecars charger close to my where I was staying but couldn't activate it even though I have used the app for over 6 years for my Leaf. Is there any particular knack to activating an ecars charger for an M3? (In this case I think it may have been a charger problem as a ID4 owner arrived and couldn't activate it either even though she used the charger previously with no issue. She was really annoyed as had a long journey ahead and not enough range to reach another DC charger.)

I had to return to my mother's house and plug in the granny charger for 3 hours to have enough range to reach Mahon Point. Then when I got there I got a shock as when I plugged in I got a message saying DC charging not available and something about requiring a service but that AC charging is available. I needed at least 70kwhs to get home so AC charging would have been a disaster. So I moved to the next charger and same message appeared when I opened the charge port but when I plugged in this time the car started charging much to my relief. Did anyone ever experience this and what might have caused it? Is it likely to happen again?
