Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Waiting Room and Delivery Queries (No referral links)

What you refer to are estimated delivery dates which can and do change. (recent one you mention is just 4 days from end of previous dates). They will be handling hundreds of cars with logistics of getting them from Shanghai —> Zeebrugge —) Dublin Port —> NVD Baldonnel —> Customer are always subject to delays along the supply chain. It is an asymetric supply and Tesla delivery staff have to stagger large volumes which arrive at one time and that takes time also. EDD's are dynamic and visible in your phone app and one could argue that it is the level of communication from Tesla (via the app) that is contributing to your stress. With other Car manufacturers you wont have the same visibility and you wait until they contact you about delivery.

If you have a VIN you can expect a car shortly and it will be worth the wait

I get that the cars are shipped in and take 4-6 weeks... Which means they should have a fairly solid EDD once the car is on the Ship. My EDD has moved 3 times from July now to Sept. Did my car miss the boat 3 times ?

On communication, I just want the app or Tesla sales rep to notify me that the EDD has been delayed. If I don't check the app, I would be still expecting the car this month.

Yeap, all good, 20% charge on it and they gave 150km supercharger credit

Representing a value of about 10 euro for most owners at SuC rates, or considerably less at home charging rates.

Do you get a notification that you have a registration? Or does it just appear in the app. Due to pick up model 3 at 12 tomorrow. Have rang some insurance companies. They won't quote without a reg.

Did you manage to change your insurance over. I'm with 123.ie and they cant recognise the reg. When he tried to enter it manually there was no option for model 3 RWD.

Thank you

Collected my model 3 today from dublin. 22 percent charge! Came with a slow charger in the boot even though I only ordered mid July. I'd already bought one separately!

This is usual, it takes a day or two to feed through to the respective database. Don't worry at all about Motortax it can be done online in a day or two without consequences. call your insurance company and give them the registration number and model etc

Don't worry about the tax- it'll be backdated to the start of the month anyway.

I collected a model 3 RWD recently and didn't show up with the insurance either so they selected manually. When I got my documents, it said Model 3 AWD Performance. Rang them just incase it would impact a claim and they said it was fine and wouldn't make a difference to my premium.
