Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Mmm... I've been told a lot by Tesla CS n reps we'll see in the Feb numbers. For Ireland to be on par with UK in numbers they should be delivering 2000+ cars a year.

No.2 car UK last year Vs no 39 in Ireland speaks volumes that Ireland is the poor relation.

Hyundai and Kia delivered nearly 600 ev's each in Jan additional registrations expected Feb. Supposed to be big numbers in April also.

Shows the difference HKMC (Hyundai Kia Motor Company) take the Irish market seriously. Refreshing also the Irish specs are way better than UK specs also.

In the last week, one of the Tesla Ireland team told me that there is a possibility of retro fitting tow hitches after delivery. Zero promises or no guarantee but once you have your car then ask service centre directly. This potential solution has come up because the tow hitches are so jammed up in production/supply. Would be nice...

So where are the 600 Tesla's going to be picked up they struggled with low numbers of pickup already.

600 a week is believable in the UK 2400 a month from I think 15+ collection points, but that doesn't make sense either 600 *52 = 31,200. They delivered 34,783 cars in the UK last year so delivering less this year? sounds like people pulling numbers out of the air.

Sorry I don't buy they even have the infrastructure to do 600 collections. Even if the start out of Mahon also.

Has anyone had any notification of any other collection points.

Would be great if they do would finally show their taking the Irish market seriously. But after my dealings as a Tesla "customer" I remain skeptical.

The National Vehicle Distribution centre in Baldonnell, literally somewhere big enough to deliver a large volume of cars.

I think we all get it, you had a negative experience 🥱

Mine has been nothing but plain sailing so far and I'm buzzing for my collection. Even got my license plater number yesterday 😁

Is this meant to be the Tesla appreciation society other opinions aren't welcome? I think its valid for people to see and understand the Tesla business model.

I would have appreciated to know this when I placed my order. So you mightn't find it valuable but others may and may not necessarily post here.

Simple questions for you dose the Tesla model deliver a premium customer service experience and secondly is telsa servicing the Irish market in the same proportion they are support other RHD markets (UK for example).

On delivery it not just the space it the logistics and staffing. I think max delivered in one quarter last year was shy of 300.

I haven't seen too much evidence of scale up in CS, one poster even said Tesla are severely understaffed.

Other OEM's would struggle with that with a network of dealers. Of course Tesla model will be more efficient (less customer focused) and fair play to them if they do it.

My registration details are in my account now for delivery on the 22nd

Were you in a blue Model 3 with Aero wheel caps removed?

Yeah my brother concurs, they don’t have customer service, it’s dire. They basically ignored the dire paint job on his car, the Ill fitting panels, the list is endless.

I don’t think that people are saying that you can’t have an alternative opinion but hanging around in another manufacturer’s forum to bang the same drum over and over is maybe not the best thing for yourself or others. Baldonnell is HUGE. Delivery delays are well known and have never been disputed by anybody on here including myself but to be fair there are people who snapped up cars from Inventory page on website in Jan or even Feb who will have their cars in March. We get that you’re annoyed about your €100. I’ll send you a refund myself if we can all just move onwards and upwards please. Last bit was a joke before you send me your IBAN. Criticism is fair enough but maybe focus on your own lovely new machine and enjoy it

Jez Tesla owners are starting get a bit of a holier than thou attitude don't want someone sullying up yer forum, don't know why yer taking it so personally. Delays are not well known based on what is consistently communicated from CS, but maybe now there starting to get more realistic (August delivery dates). Never slagged off owners here or the car (still think it's fabulous).

All I did this time was query if Tesla was only going to do 2/3 delivery slots this year, and then query some questionable figures mentioned based on what was delivered in UK and Ireland last year.

Ye could always just ignore me too 😉

I'll tell you what if your offering the money give it to charity and send us the receipt 🤑

Saw that one alright, but managed to bag one of the few with 18" wheels that popped up yesterday week.

My present ID.3 has 18" wheels with 55mm and is good on the broken and poor roads, the M3 has 45mm on same size wheels. I wouldn't like much less rubber on the country roads of south Wexford.

anybody got the 2022.4.5? They fixed few things on the GUI side. Unfortunately no visible timer on music player. Only when you scroll through. I thought it is a bit punchier from still but this may be just an illusion. Also the app had an update this week. Now I have the charging stats for the last 31 day. Hopefully we'll get driving stats as well. I'm hoovering at 450 kWh per month.
