Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Totally off topic for the model 3 thread. Can you not just leave it to the general EV sales thread or start a general Tesla thread

It’s a general Tesla supply discussion you want.

So is ok to to talk about the ships carrying the cars customer service etc.

But giving information about the number of model 3 delivered in the first two months of the year is not relevant to a forum on models 3's 🤔

I'll bite.

Given the UK sales you keep pushing, its fair to assume that proportionally there is a bucket load more demand and a whole lot more disappointed potential customers there than here I would suggest. Also proportionally suggests fairness. Selling cars is not about fairness and its a global market - Irish market is a drop in the ocean.

Again, it wasn't a normal year for car sales so read into it what you like. And I would put money on it Tesla do not make UK top 10 in 2022.

We can use stats all day long to support a position, but comparing our market to UK is not much value due to our low volumes. Going by the stats you want to use, you only need to sell 550 more cars to move from 39th to 20th in Ireland.

Your point is just sour grapes at this stage.

Globally Tesla sold 0.94 million cars. Hyundai sold 3.89 million cars. No surprises there really. Tesla is not a mainstream brand, but typically competes with the other luxury marques.

The 'H' badge is definitely not in that category.

Try re-reading first line of my post.

I'll bite back 😜

I've actually been told by CS that since Brexit because of the additional logistics (not using Southampton for Irish cars) they send less now proportionally to Ireland. Also it is easier to offload the RHDs there rather than shipping on. I showed the numbers previously 40% increase in Tesla's deliveries to UK ireland bearly high double digits yet the % of overall EV sales were similar around. Numbers again for overall context 34,000+ model 3 in UK 853 in Ireland last year.

Please clarify your numbers here did Hyundai sell 3.94 million EVs last year in a similar price range I suspect that is all vehicles. If so your not even comparing apples to bananas your comparing an apple to a basket of fruit.

But I'm not sure what your arguing here you agree with me Ireland is a drop in the ocean but again proportionally that drop is smaller than it should be.

You say that only 550 cars more would be needed to move to 20th that would be fantastic representing a 64% increase overall in deliveries.

Initially proportionally deliveries in UK and Ireland would have been similar, Tesla ramped up production especially last year UK deliveries rocketed Ireland stead flat.

There are delays with all OEMs but in that time it is not evident on deliveries that one tap is massively prioritized over the others there is just big taps and small taps. All OEM barely flowing but with Tesla the small Irish tap is dripping the big UK tap is gushing.

You can play the sour grapes card and make it personal no issue with that.

But proportionally are they servicing the market yes or no?

But what's your point? Lots of complaining but no idea what you're actually getting at. Do you think there's millions of people in Ireland that would buy a Tesla if they were parked on the lot on Saturday is that it? They're exceeding delivery times of many other manufacturers. Are you also ranting about all of them on various forums?

There’s definitely a lot of Tesla’s about, I see them about all the time. They seem to be one of a few manufacturers that are delivering cars.

Your right there follows the same path I give a few figures saying Telsa should be doing better to service the Irish market proportionally (after being on the end of that 7 month wait)

Tesla fan base here totally misunderstand and misrepresent the arguement throw in a few personal digs and eventually press ignore.

Good summary right?

Pretty well summarised other than a few inaccuracies (speaking for myself only)

a) not a blind Tesla fan, have my frustrations mainly around interactions and communications or lack thereof

b) neither misunderstand or misrepresent your views (we all know your position). Statistical analysis is a crude/simplistic instrument to advocate or support a particular viewpoint

Whatever views I would not wish to profer out of respect for the many other users of this forum who quite frankly are bored with the topic

Thats my last comment on the matter.

Man at least get the ‘you’re’ right.

I believe on the website they quote the WLTP range but on the car use the US EPA range as it's more realistic. Open to correction if that's not correct obviously.

Yet you are doing the exact same thing by comparing UK with Irish car market - which was my point that I had been trying to say. You can use stats to support any argument you want and we will do an endless dance.

Its not a personal attack on you at all @podge1979 and no offense intended. Always up for a robust debate.

My comment was merely an observation based on your posting history on this subject. The term sour grapes is used to describe when someone adopts a negative attitude to something because they cannot have it themselves.

Anyway I wont add anymore fuel to the fire as its derailing the thread.

Enjoy your Ioniq5. If they keep selling at the rate you say they are there will be over 5,000 on the road by the end of the year.

Looks like your question was lost in the thread. I was also only given Agnelli Motor Park as a delivery location but when I booked my delivery slot, it was from Baldonnell. You'll most likely be the same!

My boot has failed to open a couple of times so was going to book in for a service appointment, what did the ranger have to do to fix it and did it happen when he came to see it or did they just take your word for it?
