Tesla Model 3 - V4.0

Are you currently exporting solar for microgeneration?

Have a look at your figures, makes no sense for me to charge via solar personally as i get 18.5c for export and charge overnight at a cheaper rate. If and when the 2 rates get closer I will certainly divert solar to the car.

Why are you asking Chatgpt anything? Jesus wept.

Tesla doesn't handle the trade ins, they drive them round the back of the delivery yard and the bidder from Tradebid.ie comes and picks it up and drives away - doing whatever they like with the car, Tesla doesn't care, it's not them giving you any cash for it.

Junker bought for 300.

3500 trade-in bonus unlocked (Customer gets new discounted car, Tesla gets a hassle-free sale)

Tradebid.ie offers 100

Trader scraps for 250 (trader pockets 150 for an hours work).

Everybody in the chain gets something - customer, Tesla, and trade buyer.

The purpose of the trade-in booster was to get quality used Tesla stock flowing into the used market. They accepted that a small percentage of buyers would go down the route above and were happy to allow it, knowing that at least they would get a fresh sale out of the transaction at a minimum, however the majority of buyers would trade in their existing Tesla and go for a new model.

Just charge on night rate and sell your solar to the grid. It doesn't make financial sense to put it into the car!

If it's the eco aspect you are trying to satisfy, it just feels like it's more sustainable to charge your car on solar, but in terms of sustainability it's the same, you are still generating renewable energy and displacing that amount of kWh from other sources on the grid, whether you use or export.

Yes and have done, it's brilliant.

You get an accurate timestamp too, if there's any debate about when it was done for tolls or speeding fines etc 😅

I'm old enough to understand 😥

It does qualify for the grant. I got one a couple of months ago and received the €300 grant back approx 4 weeks after install.

So far it's great although I cannot speak to the solar stuff that was queried, I understand that there is a software update coming soon that will unlock further smart features.

Not that I am aware of - I like the integration and the fact that it is all in one app.

That's always been the case with Tesla. Inventory cars are unsold/unallocated vehicles on the way to the location.

When they land there will definitely be a few "changed my mind" purchasers, which I suppose will turn into genuine inventory.

I ordered on March 31st and have my car nearly 2 weeks now.

I think it depends on the timing though, I ordered an inventory car a few years ago, and got a message to collect it a day or two later.

You can understand it I guess. They would prefer all their cars sold and ideally paid for by the time they arrive at the vehicle yard.

Any

Any idea what I can expect to pay all in to Tesla wall connector including installation?

I understand no SEAI grant is available but it is listed at €535 on Tesla website.

Yes that is exactly the current offer if you place a deposit from now up to end of June. €2k trade bonus AND 0.99% PCP rate for standard, 1.99% for long range. This applies to both Model 3 and Model Y.

It can be any heap of junk but needs to have at least 1 month of NCT.

I have to ask them if you can take the tax disc out. I would assume probably not but hoping otherwise as my trade will surely be scrapped. I have near 6 months of tax as paid for the year. I think you can get a refund for unused portion if you post back the disk of a scrapped car.
