Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Any issues insuring a model 3 performance? I am fast approaching 40 with full no claims, no points etc.. I cannot get a price online. I am paying 400e a year now on a 280hp saloon but I see the insurance group on the M3P is 50 compared to 29 on mine.

Ordered a performance yesterday... with May as predicted delivery. I have an Enyaq ordered since December and still no solid delivery timeframe... Still not 100% which of the two I will buy.

Bit jealous here seeing the collection pics. I was about to order a red RWD on 19s last week when I noticed the price increase. Delivery moved from Aug to Nov. It took the wind out of my sails. I've ordered a new Leaf Tekna for July instead. Everywhere is a wait of several months and I need something sooner. The L24 won't cover my commute when winter hits. I will likely get the 7 seater MY when they go on sale here.

I am enjoying my new toy (two days since delivery) and it drives so good. The only negative i have is the radio.i don't find the app intuitive and

I appear to have some difficulty setting stations up in Favourite list. Seems overly complicated for what should be a simple task ..perhaps its just me...

What’s the difference with the Tesla Spotify? Do people generally subscribe for premium connectivity or just hotspot off phone?

Cheers for that.

There is. I connected to it . You have option to key in your own account details (if you are a Spotify subscriber) or else just click the option "Use Tesla Spotify Account". it works perfectly. I am unsure if that functionality is associated with the Premium Connectivity or not....time will tell. When I collected my car the Tesla rep said continuing with Premium Connectivity is 9.99 a month but he "thought they offer an annual subscription for 99.

Definitely..almost looks like drone quality..i love it

I've had my 2022 Model 3 RWD with the LFP battery for about a month now and I've just completed my first two decent return motorway journeys from Dublin to Dundalk and then Dublin to Cork. I charged at Castlebellingham supercharger with the session starting at around 125kw and then tailing off to 60kw approximately. This was the first Tesla supercharger charge I've done and I was a bit surprised by the performance. I can't remember the details of the SOC at the start (probably around 25%) on arrival but I had navigated to it so the battery should have been preconditioned. So a reasonable speed to start but not lightning fast. There was just one other Tesla there and we did not park near it so sharing the charger shouldn't be a factor.

On the way to Cork I started out with 55% and stopped at the Ballacoola supercharger. There were no other cars at the station and I did navigate to it so the battery should have been preconditioned. When I plugged in I had 17% SOC. The charge rate reached 120kw or thereabouts but then tailed off pretty quickly so by the time the SOC passed 50% it was down to 70kw or so and dropped to below 50kw from SOC of around 65%. I know there's a charging curve and it must tail off but I was hoping to see a higher rate for longer.

Before leaving Cork I stopped at the Mahon supercharger and plugged in. There was a Model S charging but not at the same pair of chargers as me so I don't think it would have been an issue. This time the SOC was 20% and I never saw more than 85kw and again it tailed off really quickly to a steady flow around 50kw. On this occasion I didn't have time to precondition the battery so that is probably part of the issue but it still seems much slower than I expected.

Anybody got comparable experiences? I watched a Bjorn Niland video where he suggested Tesla might set the cars up for conservative charging until they have enough data to confidently adjust it in a software update but I'm a bit concerned that it's just my car that's charging slowly. Or maybe it speeds up as the car gets more mileage and more charging sessions under its belt?

Yes, but will probably be at the new price. Give them a shout if you are interested..
