Ring them i say

Dunno what happened today but I couldn't get to anyone today. Called services department - no answer after 20 min. Then called customer support - it just has this automated voicemail saying your wait time is more than 20 min forever. Chatted online. No answer. I ended up talking to the customer support team in the US and they got it resolved...

eddhorse · 23-07-2021 10:23pm

Glad you got it sorted

I noticed Richard Taylor of this parish put up his Model 3 P for sale a few weeks ago

I used to enjoy his YT channel he started when he got the car, very informative

He stopped posting videos after he crashed his car about 9 months ago, with quite substantial damage. Maybe he was unable to get an insurance renewal and that forces him to sell his car? :-(

That's going to hard to sell with crash video.

Priced a bit heavy no? Mines the same year with half the kilometres than his and I paid quite a bit less for mine in February of this year. Doesn't have full self driving in fairness but still a bit rich.

Enjoyed his vids too, getting back into his 3 with the wet hair in Sligo was priceless, nice guy.

slave1 · 25-07-2021 10:39pm

Too much asking and he should declare that repair work

silver_sky · 26-07-2021 12:35am

Anyone here in North Co. Dublin with a wrapped red Model 3? looks the business. Keep seeing it around.

mfceiling · 26-07-2021 5:14pm

Strange one there. Came out of the shop, unlocked the car and the large sentry circle was on the screen and wouldn't come off it.

Drove back around 25 minutes and it stayed on blocking part of the screen. Drove in and reversed into my parking space and it went off. Happen anyone else ever?

Never happened me but you could reset if something like that happened. Hold Brake and two steering wheel buttons.

Also you can "report problem" through the voice command and it will upload to Tesla.

Anyone know what delivery timelines are like at the moment. If I ordered a Model 3 Performance today, how long should I expect to be waiting?

Tesla do quarterly deliveries. The next quarter ends in September so the bulk of cars would be arriving during that month. They match ordered cars to cars on the way, so if you ordered a standard M3P with black interior & one was on the ship on the way, matching that spec, you would be matched & could have your car pretty soon.

I reckon there would be a good chance an order now would be delivered mid September, or even late August/early September.

Don't forget to use a referral for some free charging......preferably mine 😁.

Gawd I hate this new look boards 😕.

Best of luck anyway.

Anyone had an issue with the headlights blinding people after a service? I've read they can be reset during service, and I was out for the first time since service in the dark and I was flashed 3/4 times in a short journey, so something is up as I was never flashed before.

This something the technicians should have done? I see there is manual adjustment, just not sure its so straightforward to do.

They can be adjusted in the setting screen. Do it against a wall so you can see the headlights move lower

Is it the dipped beams? Is it possible it was the high beams failing to dip, if set to auto?

I think a recent software update mandates use of auto dip too when autopilot is engaged. I'd check it's not that before messing with the beam alignment or resetting anything.

In fairness, the auto dimming is pretty poor in the Model 3.

Quick follow up - cars are sailing so on the way, according to Tesla. Customer deliveries are expected late August so a car ordered now "could" be matched with an unassigned car.

A call to Sandyford could yield more concrete info.

Yep, I was in Sandyford yesterday and was told exactly this.

jusmeig · 01-08-2021 10:05pm

Yeah dipped headlights, so not an issue with autobeams.

Followed a guide on YouTube to measure, mark out and adjust headlights, went to an underground car park to complete!! All sorted now. Apparently hitting adjust headlights is enough to knock em out.

mfceiling · 01-08-2021 11:05pm

So my wife or one of my daughters got into the passenger seat today and broke the button to move the seat forward and back.

Any idea of cost to fix or just bend over and hope for the best?

slave1 · 01-08-2021 11:18pm

Shouldn't just "break", anything internal that "broke" for me Tesla have fixed without issue. Haven't heard of that happening previously though in fairness

Literally snapped off. Stray shoe getting in to the car probably did it.

nikolaistoev · 02-08-2021 2:18pm

Hi, I have a couple of questions. I ordered a new model 3 in June and am awaiting delivery in August. This forum has been very useful and I wish I had discovered it earlier.

Is it too late to use a referral now?

Also, I ordered enhanced auto pilot, is FSD more cot effective to be added on later or I can amend my order to have it as part of the initial spec?

Thank you everyone.

Adding FSD is better after purchase here in Ireland as it's subject to VRT if added before purchase. It's also arguable whether it offers much value at present, given the limited functionality. Enhanced AP is better at the moment IMO, but it's an individual decision at the end of the day.

Are you local?

Usually adding a referral after the fact is very, very difficult but I can PM you mine if you want to try. Just let me know & well wear when it arrives 👍️.

Kramer · 02-08-2021 4:28pm

A few recent pictures.........if they work on this new look version of boards!

Sadly, not even a 13a socket on the bloody thing 😄.

Quick top up at Ionity, in the sun 🤟.

Sam W · 02-08-2021 7:00pm

Since the app can now show all your service histories, I did a bit of reading on every single invoice and found some of them have a balance. Surely they are all covered by warranty and nobody has ever chased me on making any ‘payments’, but I still just want to check and see if anyone else had the same issue?
