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

Has the Chinese EV tax been applied ? Is Tesla absorbing it at the moment ?

Its the grant allowance, it hasnt been applied, likely a query around your address. Ring them asap.

no impact…

Does anyone know if you can get a deposit back under distance selling rules if you pay after a test drive? Not pay at the Tesla dealer, but pay online. Many thanks!

I’m in Northern Ireland and delivery is showing as Nov - Jan! Surely not? Ordered 5 August…

I wonder how long is shortly?

4th time also for me with a May 1st order date. Its a joke at this stage. I was assured the last window that it wouldn't be pushed out again. The delivery windows are just utter BS and meaningless. If I can't talk to someone specifically about my car next week I'm going to probably cancel as I can't wait another month at this stage for something I was supposed to have two months ago and really needed a month ago. That new window is more likely to be just pushed out again. It's a total and utter sh1tshow of a company, have never experienced anything like it buying a car in the past from any other company.

Your experience seems unfortunate and I can understand frustration. I suspect it may be due to an unusual spec (Model, Colour, Interior Colour, Wheels) as many others have had very short times between order and delivery. Its unusual to get any "assurance" from Tesla and until a confirmed pick up appointment the EDD has emphasis on "Estimated" Hope you get sorted quickly and keep an active eye on Inventory as cars can and do appear

I've driven the Seal before, very nice car but preferred the instant acceleration and one pedal driving from the M3... But I can't seem to get a car.

There are a few Seals in stock in Cork.. so no waiting.

Ordered a white Model 3 RWD, base spec on everything, on 28 July. Delivery was Aug-Sept.

It was updated today to Nov!

Thanks for that info.

If it’s near year end, has anyone experience if it’s possible to delay delivery/registration into new year to get, in this case 251 reg?

For anyone interested in insurance prices, I switched over a 142 1.6L Passat to a M3 RWD Standard today (day of collection) and got stung with an additional fee of €175 with only 5 months left. Original insurance was only €291 per year fully comp.

Annualising the additional premium, it looks like my new insurance quote will be €711 a year which is a decent jump but I guess there were no boy racers buying the Passat. Will be shopping around next year.

The free Tesla insurance disc holder on collection softened the blow 😁.

Thats a bit nuts. Ask them for a new quote for the M3 and cancel the original insurance and ask for refund of the fee.

I had to do that 2 years ago for a similar reason, the cost to change was almost the same as a full years cover with the same company. See how you get on.
