So after buying a Model 3 at the peak of prices, and failing to get a decent trade in offer with Tesla, i've decided not to buy new.
I'm on the way shortly to pick up my new (to me) 23 MY LR in red, which i think i'm getting a pretty good deal on.
Safe driving. Is it your first Tesla?
Are you happy so far?
I collected a RWD today
A few new shape MY’s have now been delivered. Seen 2 in Dublin today. AWD, non launch edition cars.
ohh 🥺
June then September normally. With the new one being built in Germany, that may change going forward though.
Pulled the trigger anyway after having it for a day to test drive. Great car! My est delivery is June but I know there’s a shipment coming in a few weeks so assuming I’m missing that. How often do Tesla shipments typically come in?
for any of you waiting on a MY.
not a single person has had a Tesla vandalised in Ireland, as far as I’m aware.
Remove musk from Tesla, and they’re clean as a whistle and producing 2 superb cars.
However, if you’re offering 0% financing, on a v good refresh of a car that was the top selling vehicle on the planet last year, then you’re obviously trying to get more demand into the pipeline.
other cars mentioned above are barely a footnote in a a global sales context, and are one of many many models produced by that manufacturer.
Ok, so it’s not a “Tesla” ad. It’s a “Carzone” ad that’s advertising the car if you get me. That explains the €52k price as it’s actually €54k for the AWD LR. They’ve also used stock pics.
I suspect Tesla will get into Carzone to advise them of their errors. If you click the email link, it actually passes your info through Carzone and then onto Tesla.
I’ll tell you in 5 mins…
stock pics or something
Yeah and it's not on the official website, but it's the official Tesla store on Carzone, maybe it's a mistake
doesnt seem right, Launch edition for 53k?
looks like there’s a new one available to purchase in Sandyford already - didn’t think they had them just yet
Exactly.
And quit worrying about what other people think, unless you're a minor. Even then.
The curtain-twitching tut-tutters will still be around, but surely be to God you don't give two hoots about them.
It's Ireland, you'll only find the chastisers on the internet or in your family. Most of the people who say they won't buy because of the brand/CEO, either couldn't buy one anyway or were already another brand's fans.
Go ahead and buy the car you like, the only vandalism you'll encounter will be the same as every other car owner, door dings in car parks.
There was a case in Belfast, where multiple cars at dealership were damaged.
Been thinking about getting one for ages but wanted to see what the new model would bring and then needed to wait until the final trims and inevitable interest rate reductions which have now come. Would I be chastised getting one? I know there’s one or two people in my family saying I’d be absolutely stupid to get one but has anyone hear of Teslas being vandalised over here?
Regarding the air filter, mine is coming up to 2 years so time to change them. I see these Cabin rectangular ones on the Irish Tesla website to replace every 2 years per the manual which is grand.

I also see HEPA/Carbon filter being mentioned in the manual (albeit indirectly when removing battery, and also say "if equipped"). It is not available in the Irish website but available in the US website.

Presumably that doesn't apply here for Irish car?
Same reason Skoda, Cupra and the rest offer 0% on their brand new models I suppose, to increase sales, even Renault, the 2025 car of the year have 0% on their new Scenic. Great offers and a great time to be buying new if you were on the fence.
This is not the first time they’ve all offered 0%, they’ve done it countless times.
They must be under pressure. Why else offer zero per cent on a new model?
0% on the LR AWD
anyone interested in new model y, Tesla offering 0.9% interest now
most reviews seem to be the Dual Motor, so here’s one that shows a few details on the RWD version. RHD from down under too so built in the same factory as Irish/UK cars for the most part.
Really thorough review on the new MY. So for any of you that have ordered, well worth a look.
It's a horrible design from a country where you do not need a front number plate on lots of it's states.
First order of business on my last two Tesla's is removal and fit a vinyl plate
it’s a demo car. Probably getting bumped left right and centre!
Could they not even put the number plate on straight ?
Had a test drive in the juniper today a lovely car. Took a while to get used to the stalk.
