    Few hundred years ago I used to have excess insurance for rentals. It might work out cheaper for a day or two .

    I always have excess insurance with me. I remember it was only like 3-4 euro a day or 50 euro a year. It saved me 700 euro when Avis charged me that for a scratch that I didn’t do.

    I’m surprised that UFO even has the option of having no insurance at all. It’s an offence to drive without insurance, and most normal car insurance companies would not cover paid car hires.

    Surely there is a form of insurance that they provide, but the cheapest option simply means the renter is responsible for the full value of the car in the event of a write off....

    a very handy way to put at additional €15 per day on the real charge, as who's gonna take the chance of being fully liable for a Tesla Model 3??

    Could be that they only cover third party liabilities. Still quite irresponsible though, as it increases the chance that someone would just do a hit-and-run in fear of having no insurance covers.

    We had a company rental car in US which was hit by another rental car. The other car had no insurance and just sped off. Being rental car companies, neither wanted to do anything and we just had to pay the cost for the repair.

    Glad to see folks trying out UFODRIVE. I still have a referral code that gets you 30 euro off your first drive with them. Can PM you it if interested.

    Would UFO be the best to get a tesla rented?

    I'm not aware of anyone else in this country. Does anyone know if you can rent Teslas elsewhere?

    You might be better off with the old maps. A lot of the street names show up in Irish now. Or in both Irish and English but with the Irish first.

    just noticed today that it says (tries to say) the place names in Irish now as opposed to English.

    Thats fine and all, except it's a butchers version of the Irish word spoken phonetically.

    Hi Folks

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    This message shows up intermittently- I assume it puts on my hazard lights as other cars flash me when it is displayed.
    It lasts for twenty seconds up-to to a minute.

    I have had two software updates since it first appeared, and rebooting or having the car in deep sleeps have not resolved it.

    Have booked it into the service centre as I assume there is either a loose connection somewhere or a faulty unit

    Wasn't due to sudden changes in weather or anything...

    going along the M6 in fairly bright weather, then suddenly it crapped out, and I couldn't use it for about 5-10 minutes, then suddenly it'd work again, only to crap out again 20 minutes later....

    drove 512 km's yesterday and it was on and off all day, on all road types.....

    Did a drive test a couple of days back and I must say I wasn't blown away. Maybe because I drive an electric already and kinda know what to expect and probably because I watched all the videos on the wild about the Model3. I didn't manage to get the most comfortable driving position and because I was mostly on the motorway didn't get to adjust it properly. I was with my daughter in the car who pressed play on the music just what I was merging on the motorway. Unfortunately the previous drivers found it funny to leave the volume at max which made my heart to skip a beat so maybe when you drive test remember to check this before let anyone in the car to play.
    The autopilot was a mixed bag. Probably it is just a matter to actually RTFM but it will sometimes ask me to put my hand on even when I was with my hands on. When FSD was enabled I had the feeling that it was to much to the right in the lane. It was quite busy on M50 so didn't have the guts to let it drive on its own to much although it managed to exit motorway @ Firhouse. This made the drive a fight between me and autopilot and sometimes it disengaged without a reasonable cause.
    Before the test I was concerned abut the lack of dash behind the wheel. Kinda forgot about it after 30 seconds which is a good thing. Very nice drive though I can get used with it.
