Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Woah so no grant + BIK exemption being reduced to 35k for 2023. Damn.

plus I believe you can only write 23k off against company taxes, whereas in the Uk you can write 100% off (as well as having much better BIK rates than us)

seems very harsh

i can’t decide what to do. I have enough cash in my company to buy any configuration, currently have the SR+ on order as I thought the grant applied, so 15k extra for the LR seemed excessive, but now i realise it’s only 10k extra (plus a little bit more BIK).

so now I’m curious about 3 things

• will the delivery be quicker on a LR
• will insurance be much more for someone my age on a LR than a SR (I’m 25)
• will the LR hold its value better?

if anyone could shed any light on the above, I’d be so grateful

Although the wrapping idea would work best from the expense perspective there are no grants for companies.

It is 24k not 23k cap. Currently BIK 0% is capped at 50k so for any Tesla you'll pay some.

You can get an LR now on existing inventory

Hi Guys, any recommendations for a puncture repair in Galway?

I've got a screw lodged in the center of a rear tyre. I've got a tyre plug repair kit here but i'm thinking it's not a good idea to DIY it with the foam on the inside of the tyre.

Thank you Andy. Were those plugs going into a location where there was foam?

I thought the foam might hinder the plug from sealing correctly on the inside.

This is what i'm looking at:

I’m wondering if the extra 100km is really worth it for a LR in a country like Ireland. Sure for the US or even Uk, but looking at road trips here it seems you’d be able to get most places on one charge.

any thoughts? Of course it depends on use case

Will the Feb 2022 batch have this new battery?

Saw this today and I’m pleased I went with standard however if a non white performance pops up in inventory in the new year I may just take it.

When I was student I got into a 10 years old punto and I was "I don't understand why people need more newer and expensive cars"

Few year later I got into a near new I was "I don't understand people buying new and paying full price"

Fast forward today sitting in a LR I'm saying "I don't understand people buying Merc EQS 580 4matic" hoping my previous errors to become a rule.

I never test-drove the Perf but the LR's acceleration is really balanced I feel. It's quick but not ridiculously so and always feels planted. Typical example is an overtaking on damp conditions when you start to overtake a car and then oncoming traffic appears: It always have power reserve allowing you to just floor it when needed and you can safely finish the maneuver without any drama.

Majority of RWD specs have now slipped to an estimated delivery of March 2022.

White remains May 2022 for now

Getting ready now for delivery day next week and looking forward to it. Couple small questions:

• I won't have a home charge point setup before delivery. Does the M3 ship with the correct 3pin connector just to plug it into normal socket?
• Does the car come with mud guards? I through I read or saw a YT clip that they install them standard for certain countries

Cheers
