    Apply for the grant now, you will receive approval in a few days, you then have 6 months to have the charger installed and apply for the refund (but you need the car for this), however I believe they are allowing a grace period to deal with the increasing delays from order of cars to delivery.

    If a grant was previously applied for and approved from that address (and it looks like it was), you will not be eligible for the charger grant. as its a 1 time deal per MPRN.

    According to the Grant rules you have to wait until approval before starting any works, you also need an EV before you can claim (they require photos)

    Here’s a quote directly from Tesla.

    15km 10k deposit and it’s still over €700 per month.

    all the different quotes are mad.

    That just looks like an isolation switch (not EV specific) and it has no wires going in or out of it so it looks like previous owner has stripped everything out including the wiring!

    Since you’re expecting the car in Aug i’d apply for grant approval asap and start getting quotes as it could take a while to organise someone to do the work.

    Hopefully feed is going into the back of the isolator and the bottom gland is the feed to the charge point (OP said there was an EV at the house previously), could be the old ESB one as the footprint looks small.

    Be quite mean to pull the cable and take with you when moving, I moved my charge point last year and left cabling to old location instead of pulling and relaying, bit of future proofing as I may buy a used 16a charge point at some stage and have two charge points at the house

    I've sent a few emails to sales_dublin@tesla.com asking for a PCP quite and no response...what email address is everyone using that are getting replies?


    I'm still waiting for a call back from Tesla on my Hire Purchase financing selection - I know that as decisions are only valid for 30 days they wait until closer to the time but we should be hearing back from them any day now I'd say

    I'd say the first port of call would be to either call SEAI, or just apply for the grant and find out of the grant was previously applied for/approved for that MPRN, as if so, the OP is lumbered with the full cost of installation.....

    Got an approval email 6 minutes later!

    "You have been approved for an Electric Vehicle (EV) Home Charger grant subject to a maximum value of €600. SEAI are delighted that you will experience the benefits of driving electric, such as lower running costs with reduced climate impact.

    If your eligible costs are less than €600, you will only receive a grant up to the amount spent on eligible costs. Eligible costs include the cost of materials (e.g. charger unit, cabling), labour and VAT associated with the purchase and installation of your EV charge point to your home. Ineligible costs not supported by the SEAI grant include any costs associated with upgrading your property or its electrical system."

    Tried the above email and got this:

    Ya DeliveryIE@tesla.com gives you back a not monitored response if you email it, just email firstautofinance directly or fill out the contact page on their site, they’re fast to respond as @Thumper Long said.

    Not a great sign for the after sales support from Tesla if their initial support seems to be non existent now.

    That’s deffo an isolation switch, possibly the most ugly isolation switch in all the land :)

    On a good note, it could mean you have a simple install.

    Check the Consumer Unit to see if there’s a 40a RCBO in there labelled as EV charger or similar.

    For driving in France there is a requirement to carry spare headlight bulbs, anywhere I can buy some? Couldn't even find what type a 2019 model 3 uses

    Not sure if that still applies to newer cars with LED headlights.

    I just ordered a warning triangle & a set of French approved breathalyser tests from Amazon yesterday (already have the high vis vests)

    Did your car not come with a foldable triangle? In the first aid kit bag in the frunk.

    Also, I thought they removed the requirement for a breathalyzer since sometime in 2020

    No, when I collected in March 2020 there was no such kit... some others around the same time with SR+ did get it, and some also got a 16a blue UMC adaptor...

    I would say that is almost definitely wired in the back from the cavity behind and the breaker for it is in the adjacent ESB meter box, ESB and Safe electric have approved details for retrofits so you don't have to go all the way back to the consumer unit.

    You are meant to have a rotary isolator like that too, its a point of isolation for the charge point.

    Would be awesome if Tesla did a CHAdeMO - CCS adaptor (like the CHAdeMO - Type 2 adaptor they do/did for Model S/X), so we could use CHAdeMO connectors if stuck.... (or if I knew the car's SOC% would mean I wouldn't pull more than 60kW from a charger, use the CHAdeMO because why? because why brag fcuk not?*)


    *joking of course before team LEAF come in to lynch me......

    Someone must have helped themselves to yours ...

    And for the early model 3, beam deflectors are not needed, since the beam is symmetrical, and newer model 3s detect and adjust automatically... Anyone know otherwise?

    Speaking of adapters, are there art charging adapters supplied with the Model 3 now?

    My brother has a Hyundai and EV and if I was over at his house I would need an adapter to go between his charger and my M3….

    AFAIR all Teslas come with the safety kit, safety is at the heart of their design, I'd drop Sandyford an email, even two years later I'd say they would help

    I assume autopilot will work in Europe, same as in Ireland? Will see if it mirrors no undertaking as here, although it'll be on the right side there...
