Dude, we're in Ireland. We've got ECars .
3 or possibly 4, 75kW (x2), hubs :rolleyes:.

Ionity is the gold standard here (not counting Tesla SuCs, of course) .



That'd be grand in an E-Tron 50, stopping at 150kW Ionity multicharger sites.

I've done that trip in an E-Tron

The Ionity Stations are just not as reliable, granted when it doesn't work and you spend 20 minutes on the phone waiting to get through they will start the session and it will be for free.

I'd go for EnBW and Fastned over Ionity, It's all marketing hype, they are just standard rapid chargers.

In the US the SR+ is $38k (€32k) but that's excluding local taxes, plus the Irish models have US-EU import duty, shipping costs, VAT, VRT.

Have you factored in your fuel savings? I've used their calculator and it reckons I would save up to 7K over 5 years.

lol that still doesn't take away from the fact we're screwed in this country with Extortion taxes.

I never said we weren't being screwed with taxes. My point is the Model 3 may seem expensive but when you factor in the fuel savings it brings down the TCO.

I did a fairly detailed comparison myself between how much the Model 3 and a new Peugeot 508 would cost and the difference only ended up being about €500 when I factored in fuel savings.

AndyBoBandy

I've driven my Model 3 15,000km since getting it, and have put about €115 of my own money (home charging) into it in that time.

In my BMW 320d, that same 15,000km would have cost me around €1,250 in diesel (assuming €1.20 per litre), and by now would also be due an oil change (which I do myself, but still costs around €45 in oil & oil filter).

So the cost of driving a Model 3 for that 15,000km is 8.9% of the cost of doing the same milage in my diesel BMW. (and thats before we even talk about the tax issue (€710 in the BMW compared to €120 in the EV)).

Careful now, you'll upset all the Tesla fanboys .

How long have you had your Model 3? Did you luck out & get the new model with heat pump, electric boot, acoustic glass etc.?

I'm a fanboy and I agree. On anything other than a well marked motorway its garbage.

I wonder will the VRT vanish in February from Teslas

That's interesting - why would the VRT vanish?

Edit : Just looked it up and I see new VRT rates are due next year and also changes to the relief for EVs.

Ok not vanish but not what its like now. The other thing Ive noticed is Teslas won't be able to take advantage of the full €5000 once VAT and whatever VRT is added.

Question is the 5000 grant click in before or after VAT and VRT are added

Unless they have a leftover car at the end of the year you will be looking at early March. Cars ship in the 1st month of the quarter for delivery in the 3rd month.

I ordered in July specifically for as early into 2021 as possible. Haven't received a text for delivery in December.

The only way you could get one early Jan is if someone rejects taking one and it goes to the next person (or something like that).

Or if you have e.g. the 4th of December as a firm date and ask them to hold it for you for 4 weeks - and they are willing to, if you pay all the money by the 4th they should be fine with that and working out the VRT etc. later if you get delivery in 2021 I would hope.

Whilst I would prefer a 211 plate at that stage, I've set myself a pretty strict savings target that bring me into Jan. Need that December paycheck

I'm actually not too bothered about bthe plate . It just seemed the natural thing to do since I was ordering so late in the year anyway.

My only concern is getting a fully Refresh version not a half and half left overs from 2020 model . What do ye think. Is every car after that 5th of October date the same spec ( for awhile anyway)

Check your vin for the year flag. I have confirmed mine is one.

Where ? . In the booking invoice.
Mine is still blank . Perhaps it doesn't populate until I accept the delivery date.

If you go to your Tesla home page, and search the source code, you should find your VIN...

I'd like to downgrade to maybe an i3, what did anyone else selling their Model 3 do? Ask for a value from Tesla first?

Just ordered today! Can’t get an answer on eta. Website says Feb delivery but spoke to someone in Tesla UK and they said all UK orders will be in before end of Dec - a lot of shipments on the way and all refreshed models. However as Sandyford is closed she couldn’t confirm for here. Does anyone know if the Irish shipments follow on after landing in the UK?

AndyBoBandy

All European RHD Model 3’s land in Zeebrugge, and then get shipped to Southampton. From there they are distributed to all the mainland U.K. locations as well as Dublin & Belfast.

Bobjs

Great! There are 4 shipments arriving into Southampton between Nov 13th and the end of the month.

All depends if there is unallocated car that match your requirements on the incoming ships.
