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

Yes i got a vin late may. I don't know how you have a delivery date without a vin. Are you sure it's not an estimate? I'm on my 3rd delivery estimate, it's been pushed out twice. So I wouldn't get my hopes up if all you have is an estimate.

I'm paid up too, thinking it would make it quicker.

Dublin port arrivals page. Tesla’s to Ireland are shipped from ZeeBrugge. You waiting on a Y or M3?

More drama.

lied to is a bit extreme :)

As discussed a page or so back, getting cars into the port car parks is only part of the journey. If Tesla have hundreds of arrivals for June/july (quite likely, they had 700 in June/July last year), it would take a few weeks just to transport and do the pre-delivery for them all.

Apologies. Thanks for clarifying.

Anyone interested in picking up lower priced STD Model Y RWD (Juniper) there are now many appearing in Inventory (10), for those in a position and willing to take by June 30th. Most likely cars matched to orders where customer wont accept preferring to defer for a 252 reg.

I may be looking in the wrong place but I don't see any discounts being offered for the cars in stock? 45,058 is the cash price of a grey rwd Juniper - in stock or on the boat.

Think they need to offer something there to sweeten the choice.

you have to love the contempt Tesla have for their customers in fairness - they know that people are unlikely to cancel their Q3 order even if their June car is given away, because they’ll just string you along that your next car is on the way in Aug, Sept, Oct….

It’s the usual end-of-quarter mess, simply so that this trillion dollar entity can make its incredibly strict quarterly financial targets.

Tesla is a lean machine and like to shift all the cars that they manufacture before their before cars is scrutinised. Market penalising them for carrying high inventory It is their business model and unlikely (in my view) to change

Inventory has often looked pretty empty in January when most people want to buy a new car

Thats overly simplistic and most likely misleading. Tesla are likely to be delivering hundreds of cars in Ireland in June and what you see now in Inventory are most likely cars that people ordered (paid a small deposit of 250) but for whatever reason have declined to take delivery of the car when offered by Tesla (the debate about holding for a 252 reg etc). These cars are then made available for sale for those who are both in a position and want to do so.

Towards every quarter end you will see cars suddenly appearing in Inventory, often with incentives linked to being able to collect car within days, all designed for Tesla to reflect sales /revenues in the relevant financial quarter and minimising any cars carried over to the next Q.

Tesla’s model requires that their physical footprint is as small as possible.

you can see this at play in the US most recently - they have a lot of inventory of older 3’s, Y’s and apparently 10,000 unsold cybertrucks, and are having to rent huge amounts of space to park them all, gathering dust. Their model assumes that 99% of cars rolling off the line have a buyer, just like happens in Ireland - the number of cars in inventory is always tiny, and usually too expensive:unfavourable spec’s.

It’s like the old Ferrari line about how many cars is the ideal production number - “one car less than you have customers for”

with just 10 days to go to sell, finance and deliver the car, it’s unlikely you’re going to hear about any deals at this stage I would say.

Also, it’s supply and demand - they don’t really have that much supply, as all the cars in the country have buyers for July and not as many for June, so it’s slim pickings. M3 inventory shows just 20 new cars, mostly LR’s, and maybe 40 ish Y’s

the deal you’d get is no wait-time

I was one of those who had my LR AWD order canceled. They didn't even offer an goodwill on cancelation

It would be happening now if it was going to happen there is a week left, most of the cars showing in stock now are orders that people won't take for the sake of a few days to get a 252 plate so they will be gone shortly after 30 June I'd guess
