    Perfect car would be a P85D 2015 production year on 19's and 1-5 above and long warranty, not much to ask for :pac:

    Again as with the free supercharging, this seems to be a myth. My car still has it over 7 weeks later and I'm told I will have this forever (for free)

    Is that listed on CPO Hunter like your free supercharging is?
    Or actually, where can you see that on CPO Hunter??

    My stuff for sale on Adverts inc. EDDI, hot water cylinder, roof rails...

    In BAU my charging is predominantly done at a 22kW post for free at work where I have to queue and I can only take 11kW currently.

    Free SuC is a novelty really.

    supercharging, CHAdeMO charging and CCS are no good in the plenty of blackspots around the country, especially if the charger is down, the 22's are a great fallback, 50kms range in 30minutes

    You don't need any fallback in a small country like Ireland when your range is a good 300-400km and you can fast charge at every single fast charger in the country...

    Even if you got 60k km with 100% free work charging, that is only worth a bit over a grand per year. Your finance cost alone is probably more than that and your depreciation dwarfs it...

    Shush you with your logic

    I can't help it my bad :D

    I do acknowledge charging up for free gives you a nice warm feeling inside, I plugged in myself at the big Tesco for my weekly shop yesterday, which now seems to take at least 90 minutes with the queues and 5 max people per isle etc. That's €3 of free electricity. Better than a kick in the teeth.


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,895 ✭✭✭✭ELM327


    TBH I prefer it for the free parking, and the warm fuzzy feeling of getting free stuff!

    #1 for me is the dual chargers given the amount of 22 chargers in Ireland to fall back on, opens up the country
    #2 AP
    #3 Sound
    #4 Air suspension
    #5 Parking sensors
    #6 Free Supercharging
    #7 Cold Pack

    Don't care about P model or spoiler but lifetime premium connectivity a bonus but you can only get that from a non CPO source now which is a damn shame.

    I may be selling the above car if ever interested. Doesn’t have cold pack. Other than that all option there with 2+ year CPO and ludicrous just to make things interesting.

    Haven’t advertised yet as not in an urgent rush to sell. Reason for selling is someone else will be able to use and enjoy the car a lot more than me.

    Looking for €57.5K

    Spec below:

    152 Model S P85DL (ludicrous upgrade) (0-60 in 2.8 secs).
    Full Tesla warranty (CPO) until 08/2022 or 67k additional kms.
    Currently 60K Klms on the clock
    Free lifetime supercharging.
    21” rims with set of 19” rims and winter tyres.
    Twin chargers (22kW AC), panoramic sunroof, premium sound, air suspension, autopilot CCS upgrade.

    Nice spec for sure but way too pricey, I assume that’s due to the L which would mean nothing to me. Much cheaper for UK CPO or UK private sale.

    Agree with you U.K. private sale would be cheaper but then you face potential out of warranty repairs. U.K. equivalent CPO would be more. Ludicrous gives about 0.4 of a sec which isn’t much. Very few P85DL even guys at Sandyford we’re surprised to see it.

    Good luck with the hunt I remember how much fun it was hunting for the perfect car.

    191 e-tron 55 for €65k seems like great value. Clearly there’s massive depreciation on all €100k ev’s - Audi, Tesla, merc etc

    There's massive depreciation in the first year on any €100k car. Period. And most €100k EVs are overpriced for what they are and far more expensive than the equivalent petrol / diesel car from the same make, in this case from Mercedes or Audi.

    But yeah, that looks like decent value if you're in the market for an e-tron

    Great value. At first I thought it was a 50 but see it’s not. Audi have been known recently to make typos though?!

    Nice spec. I assume it's a prefacelift (ie nosecone) model?
    Bit pricey but tbh if I were ever looking to trade my S ('16 S90D facelift) for another S yours sounds ideal.

    Wonder how much it would cost for them to deliver it to me and take my S!


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,470 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Lovely looking.

    Surely an advert for a pure ev should be mentioning how far the thing will take you?

    They rarely do. Customer can Google it and get an unrealistic wlpt range. Dealers never want to tell you anything

    Give them a ring in the morning, see how much they allow for your car. You got a bargain, so the figures might work for you. Keep us updated!

    If you're relying on the ad or salesman to tell you the range you've already lost :pac:

    True. This is sadly a reflection of what stage we are at in the penetration of EVs though. Still early days.

    Nah, did some googling and extensive youtubing after that comment and came to my senses. You only get the ionity discount MSP rate after paying nearly 20 quid a month. And after that, its still more expensive than Tesla. (28c vs 31c).

    I think I'll stick to my nerfed chargegate/batterygate S until next year as planned. Hopefully there'll be some concrete word on Cybertruck then!!

    Well it really depends on what deal you could get on the Audi, doesn't it? On a good deal it could mean the depreciation over the next year or two on the Audi could be lower than on your Tesla, or not much more. And anyway, a few hundred in charging sub or extra charging cost is immaterial compared to the 5-10k yearly depreciation. And you would have a car under warranty again, that could very well save a lot more than a few hundred a year. A Tesla out of warranty in a country where there is no indy Tesla workshop and an owner reluctant to do work themselves can be expensive!

    I would not dismiss the idea if I were you, until you at least rang that seller. What harm would that do, worst case scenario it will waste 5 minutes of your time :)

    If the cost to charge it at Ionity is your concern the eTron is not for you! ;)
