Tesla Talk 2

Hmmm…a real case of Confirmation bias…it may not have been on the radar screen of the "experts" on this forum (I too was not aware) but the article I posted for you clearly mentions it & includes a direct quote cited from a spokesperson for the Department of Transport confirming. Attached below from the Government web site is another confirmation of a strategy being worked on mentioned by Minister Darragh O'Brien in a written response to a parliamentary question posed (Nov '25) ….. I am just the messenger but see no reason to doubt that work is ongoing on a strategy.

Currently driving BMW i4 (I am sure it will be temporary until I get my next Tesla). Am probably going to offlaod the BMW shortly if I can get a decent price

Thats fair!

Absolutely.

You'd just wonder why information like this would be so relatively unknown?

Given that whispers and murmurs from all parts of the globe are routinely posted up here for information, yet something domestic that has allegedly being pursued since last October is completely unknown to the folks here who are deeply invested in the topic. Seems strange, no?

Also, from the article….it's late.

Model X 7 seater

How frequently do they come up for sale here or NI?

Have you ever seen them there with the transferable free supercharging?

Unless you plan to do yearly 5000+ km continental trips, the free supercharging is worth very little, a couple hundred per year at best

It's good for bragging rights in the pub for sure though 😂

And yes we have seen several Model X come up even under €30k in the last year. Prices have likely firmed though now the majority of people finally have realised the future is indeed fully electric (at long last, most of us knew this a decade ago or before)

I dont have possibility to charge at home and it would be used as PSV for tours / private hire.

5, 6 or 7 seater, depending on configuration

Finland might push ahead with FSD next. Comments from their transport department also suggest the EU wide decision is due in October.

"An EU-wide solution can be ​expected in October 2026. However, Traficom is prepared to proceed on ​a faster schedule after the summer if the necessary additional information has been obtained on the key areas of assessment," the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) ​said in a statement".

Anyway, don't sweat it folks, Darragh O'Brien is working on an autonomous vehicle framework.

But not if it endangers his forthcoming leadership bid of course.
