    Lower monthly payments with PCP

    Over the same timeframe it's a lower monthly cost but you have no balloon payment at the end of HP. Seems like the best option when there is no intention of switching cars at the end of PCP with finance rates that low.

    Believe that Tesla have cut a grand-ish off their cars in some countries in the last month. Perhaps .99% HP and nothing off for a straight buyer in RoI is not a great deal !

    Assuming it’s this one

    https://www.usedcarsni.com/2019-TESLA-Model-3-Performance-AWD-4dr-Performance-Upgrade-Auto-355796778

    Looks really well presented.
    5 years and 4 months old so relatively low mileage.
    Has been dechromed (I like) but easily removed for those that like the chrome.

    Nice in red. I like the contrast of the silver wheels although I like the darker grey ones that came on the 2020 ones personally.

    Make sure there none here for similar money. I sold a 2020 one this year for €33k to give you an idea.

    If you want it, just make sure it’s been in NI for 3 months with some documented proof to around vat/customs.

    Looks to have the oem Michelins on it too, great tyre. The front skewed number plate is wrecking my head 😂

    See if you can get any history on the car. As it’s out of general Warner’s, check for noises from the suspension, make sure all handles works as normal, make sure the rear lights are not filling with water or fogging up.

    You’ll have to link to the actual car. The text leads me to a page full of cars. But the SR is a world apart from the P.

    Nice example too. Upgraded 19” wheels, face lift version too. But a totally different drive to the M3P.

    Just depends what you really want.
    Same checks apply.

    Thanks. Looking at first EV options around 25k. Would like a big range and a boot large enough for a folding manual wheelchair

    Its literally the best value car in the entire country. Even cheaper than the UK. What makes you think its not a good deal?

    The M3P has a bigger battery and charges faster than the SR. But it’s near 500bhp, dual motors and has 20” wheels, so it’s less efficient than the SR.

    I would average 19.4 kWh/100km over 3 years of ownership. It could do a lot less or a lot more depending on weather and driving style. It would do Dublin to Belfast and back if I kept under the speed limit at about 110km/h. That’s a 340 mile round trip for me.

    Got a Sexy knob myself for Christmas and must say Im well impressed.

    For anyone doing regular long motorway commutes, the autopilot enhancements in particular are brillant. Having AP automatically turn back on after a lane change is great.

    It also solves 2 of my biggest gripes with AP by being able to turn off auto high beam & auto wipers when engaging AP.

    And I havent even explored many of the options available just yet. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to hack their M3/MY.

    Nice to hear Wassie.

    I just got the commander. Assuming I can just set it and forget it on the phone.

    Did you do the front or rear install for the commander? Haven't installed mine yet.



  • #14266
    wassie
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,140 ✭✭✭wassie


    Do the front - you get access to all commander features. Its simple and took me about 10 minutes - just follow the youtube guide from Enhanced Auto themselves.

    Although they did pull the whole weatherstrip off - I found this wasnt necessary. Just pull it off on the side - enough to get access. You cant go wrong with the connections - simple plug and play.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifwJNZgykVI

    Also suggest doing it while the weather is mild - plastic clips are more prone to snapping in very cold weather. Alternatively could heat the car up for a while if its frosty.

    Also whilst the car in the video is LHD, all cables are still on the RHD (as per video).

    Yeah, I got the front cable harness cos from what I could tell the rear turns off when the car locks and I didn't want to lose remote options.

    Thanks for the tip on sides. Would probably have gone to passenger side having watched the video.

    Edit* thanks for the tip on the clips. I'll dip my hand into anything tech but I'm an awful man for breaking clips.

    Need to decide between the black or white interior. I sat in both and think I prefer the white.. But not sure how a white interior will look on a white car.. Will it be too much?

    With two young kids is the white a bad choice...

    It looks great new but wondering will it still look better in 3 years next to a black one.

    Anyone any views!?

    I think white on white looks good. There are several youtube videos on how easy it is to clean the white seats. You can also treat them when new to make them easier to clean in future.

    I had white on white for a while. I loved it. It brightens up the interior but I kept on top of it. I clean it regularly and have 3 kids but they don’t slop out in it.

    I used general interior cleaning sprays on them. P&S Interior Cleaner or Soft99 Interior Mist. Whatever I had at hand. Once every few months I finished with a wipe using GTechniq L1 sealer.

    These were the seats when I was selling it at 4 years and 50k old.

    I love the look of the white interior but I really hate the black plastic backs against it. Personal preference I know but I just think it cheapens it

    Must check out those interior sprays.

    it’s the same for most brands. The plastic is there for wear and tear on the rear of the sets from Rear passengers. The same plastic is there on the black seats.

    I have a BMW with the upper most spec interior. Heated massage seats. And the backs of them are plastic too 😬

    Thanks for the feedback on the white seats. I wonder if it will be harder to clean the perferated seats on the highland.. All those little holes for spills, baby puke etc to hide in. Hopefully a wipe down and a careful vacuum should sort it.

    My order is currently white car with black interior but thinking of changing to white/white.

    On delivery, app states estimate in Jan, however when I mentioned it to tesla over the phone they say v unlikely and hopefully by March. But annoying.. Why do they not just tell you that on the app..

    Yeah, I know. I guess they just pop more against the white. Black plastic surrounded by black is much more muted.

    Actually I take that back. They are plastic but the BMW have colour coded rear plastics. Tesla is cheap 😂

    Normal. No PDC Ultrasonic Sensors. You use Tesla Vision for Parking Assistance.
