January delivery?
Yeah,we’ll see- definitely don't want 2024 anyway!
So sometime between 1st Jan and 31st dec 2025 knowing Tesla 😆
Hope you're joking there,what timeframe should I expect ballpark?
I ordered a Model 3 in early November and my est delivery date was February. It changed last week to December but when I contacted them they said it would not be this month. So I’m guessing it could be Jan - Feb
They always have a Q1 delivery. If you ordered anything common, you'll almost certainly be matched with a car on that shipment and have it before the end of March.
Is say realistically jan/feb.
Just wondering folks, is a used Model 3 a good purchase for a rural user? I’m about an hour from Cork if any services are required and not sure if the local mechanics would know much about Teslas. Also, could buying EV tyres be an issue at tyre centres more used to ICE?
Have an ICE Octavia 172 and fancy a change, hopefully supply and prices improve a little in the new year.
If you're coming from an Octy, make sure you're ok with the smaller Model 3 boot. It's also not a hatchback.
See Tesla have finally got around to putting back up for sale their first lot of LR RWD models a year after them being registered but not sold. Must have been parked up then some used as loaners
are teslas used prices higher than market?
Since the recent price drops they have been holding their value quite well if that’s what you mean
Why did they register them if not sold?
Probably wanted one or two as demo and ended up using as loaners maybe, from looking at the ODOs they have done fek all and a decent option for anyone wanting stalks and immediately availability
Tesla's have very little servicing. If you do book a service they will come to you unless it's a major job. As for tyres, you don't have to get EV specific tyres, most of the time they just have more noise insulation. Ordinary tyres are just fine and slightly cheaper. I would get jack pads or pucks in case the tyre centre does not have them.
Hey folks, I just charged my Model 3 for the first time at the Sandyford supercharger… my app shows the cost in Pounds. Is this normal?
Nope
May have been covered somewhere in this thread.. Couldn't find it.
Extra tax/duty hitting Chinese EVs, are these taxes already in place now on the Model 3 price, or is that coming soon?
Also, at under €38k for the base model 3, is that near enough the cheapest it's been in Ireland? I note this is approx. 10k cheaper than the same car in the UK, for once we are getting a better deal.. Why such a difference!?
Taxes are technically in place but no manufacturer has increased prices…….yet.
At €37k it must be the cheapest it’s been ever alright. Actually €36,984 on the road for RWD model in white.
I'm seeing 37,484 for that on the tesla website, how you getting 36,984?
Im really tempted.. Don't really need it though!
Ahh, referral code!
there’s a thread full of referral codes so make sure to use one if ordering…
Hi there, so once the EV is bought, what next…what apps to install etc around charging etc etc.. Also noticed no mats come in the Y I bought.. Where have people sourced thier tesla mats.
Appreciated
Model Y comes with mats. If you bought second hand and the car has the mats removed, there’s a few sets on adverts for sale.
PlugShare is a good app to see charging locations.
Cheers, bought new. Thought I'd read somewhere they don't come with mats. Appreciated
They come with standard carpet mats like all cars 👍

Is it true that the regen braking cannot be dialled down on the new model 3?
Yes you can’t alter the regen on M3H
