Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Ok I'll finish with this point then look at their delivery dates on the website. UK and Ireland have the same dates. I got a possible delivery date of September when I ordered and now its proposed to be March.

Irish EV market was tracking very similar to UK prior to the injection of teslas in the UK (over 40% increase). In the same time frame there was a 18% increase in deliveries to Ireland even though the stats show massive demand and 115% increase in registrations.

Is the point you making that your happy that Tesla will not service the Irish market like the UK market and stay niche in Ireland (because you own a Tesla already).

If that's the case I'm not sure what point your arguing? We both agree with each other their not servicing the market.

You and other current owners are happy: (as your car stays niche and has more value that might change when you start looking for your next Tesla.)

I and people who would have being waiting up to 7 months are not when we see delivery times in a matter of weeks in the UK.

isnt leasing extraordinarily expensive?

Are you sure you've nothing to add re tesla's business model for Ireland 😜

Nothing yet. Hope we are defo getting ours in Q1. Do you reckon we are safe enough with RWD and white with tow bar?

Not sure tbh, interested to hear current owner past experiences.

I ordered 30th October, midnight silver RWD and no VIN yet either

yeah, nothing in the source code yet either. Has me skeptical about March 🤔

Hey all

Anyone have a M3 insured with AXA by any chance?

My current EV is insured with them, just called them to make sure they would insure a M3 (potentially collecting on Friday), they have come back and said they no longer insure cars over €50k in value.

Seems odd to me since you can spec any decent car these days well north of €50k

Edit to this:

Just got a phone call back from the rep at axa saying it is actually over €100k they dont insure. Even then they do but with a tracker fitted. Glad they rang back to straighten that one out. Small increase of €80 over the ID4

Sorted in the end thankfully.

Now I just have to decided whether to accept the car in inventory or wait until March for the upgraded 2022 model

Keeping that too but transfering it to my wife's insurance. Going to a 2 EV household

Seems like current models won't have any data support on the front console usb ports, only the one in the glove box.

This first came up last quarter where some cars were delivered without the front usb ports and wireless charging and with a promise to retrofit, this is now happening but the ports have lost the data ability and the manual has been updated to say cars after 1 Nov may or may not have data ability on the front ports.

Makes usb music a bit more of a pain as it will have to share with the dashcam and sentry mode footage and you'll need to the partition the drive.

The controller only games cuphead and sonic have been removed for those cars also.

Looks like the Model Y is also impacted.

The audiophiles would use USB to get lossless....bluetooth is always lossy. Personally I dont see the point in a car as a glass box is the worst place for critical listening, but there is a quality advantage to USB in theory.
