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

Tesla probably isn't for you @reaction238 👍️

The car is for me, but I'm finding it difficult to see past this problem. I thought I was missing a trick, hence coming to forums to find out.

I think it's probably a generational thing. There's a generation now thst don't realise there's another way of doing things that is fairer, especially if you have well cared for car or well spec'ed car.

I've also just discovered another stumbling block. I would add the advanced autopilot add-on. I've found out this is tied to the car and is not transferable. OK, I can live with that. But it gets worse, they disable the add-on on their trade ins. So when it comes to upgrading the car and doing a trade.in, it adds nothing to the trade in value AND you have to purchase the add-on again on your new car.

In other words it's a 3,800 recurring fee that cannot be recoup on a trade in. If you.trade in every 3 or 4 years, that's roughly a €1,000 annual subscription fee in disguise.

The moral of the story is the best way to buy a brand new car is to go for the base paddy spec and don't bother putting any effort into caring for your car because it's.poinless in the end. It's quite sad really, for someone who loves cars and loves caring for his car.

All valid points worth considering. Thanks to everyone for the honest feedback. My desire for a Tesla is very strong, Maybe I just need to wrap my head around the fact my old car is not as desirable as I think it should be. I'll leave you all be now, sorry for butting in on the excitement of getting a new Tesla. Happy driving to you all.

Hi folks,

You might be help to me out. Test drove new Model Y on 1st May and paid deposit of €250 on 8th May. Cancelled the order yesterday (change of heart by Mrs.) and requested refund of deposit under EU distance selling. Just got a call from Sandyford and they told me as I have test driven the car so I won't get my deposit back. Is that true?

Rep insisted I keep a demo car overnight and then decide. However, Mrs. prefers PHEV at this stage so won't be able to change her mind. Am I really going to lose my deposit or is there a way around? Nothing was allocated to me VIN etc., if this helps.

Thanks for your help.

That's Tesla's policy but the law is slightly different as the relevent point is the conclusion of the contract, which, if done online was a distance sale with a right of withdrawal. Whether it's worth getting into a protracted dispute for the sake of €250 from the overall cost is another matter!

I'm about to buy a Model 3 LR with the 0.99% PCP. I would prefer to get a 252 plate, would anyone have any ideas of the lead times? I'll be going with the standard gray color. I don't want to order today and end up collecting the car on the 30th of June, well I don't really care but the wife does 🙈

Tempted to ring them up myself. Delivery window starts tomorrow and not a dicky bird from them as yet.

I'm same window as you I'd imagine, the line they gave me was as expected. It's a "window" so doesn't mean you'll have any choices just yet.

Would assume many others are sitting at Dublin Port.

Delivery window pushed out to mid June latest. Not surprised but a bit disappointing.
