Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I'm also on the fence over new 3 vs used. I would much prefer the USS.

For those without? how is it day to day with parking and that?

Yeah, for the M3 they're only on the LR and P models and earliest 2019 SR+. Can see as much by looking at the inventory via tesla-info where it has "Fog lamp blanked" on a 2022 demo RWD in red for 60k EUR, whereas others have "M3/Y Exterior Light Pack".

With Tesla things are constantly changing so it’s not as though there is a new Model every year, things get added and some things taken away on ongoing basis without fanfare from Tesla . On Model 3 there was a major refresh in late 2021, which introduced LFP battery, new computer chip, heated seats throughout, power open boot, heat pump etc. Price of second hands have been incredible due mainly to demand greater than supply. But Tesla now have huge production capacity which makes it quicker to get a car but will also impact value of second hands. There is also a rumoured major refresh of the Model 3 that people are speculating will be in 2023.

What that means is there will always be issues to consider, as to when is the sweet spot to enter the market and it’s very much down to personal choice which for everyone is different.

If you wait until later on in the year things will have changed but then 2024 is only around the corner and why not wait longer …and the beat goes on.

Fog lights are ridiculous in this day and age. They make sense on older cars but cars with full led don’t need them at all.

I miss the USS a lot. The cameras are ok but can be quite misleading. Quite often, the rear camera is blocked altogether because of raindrops. I have driven a lot of cars with and without sensors and I think the model 3 given its size and poor rear visibility really needs some kind of sensors. I really hope they come up with some kind of vision based solution.

Ok, seeing I have had a few Jemmies and said I wouldn't tell😁. The shame of it, i'm certainly not slow and like some heat.. But I rarely use adaptive cruise and try and drive smoothly and anticipate speeding/slowing up. The Trip A in photo would be more usual for my winter driving (Includes a recent Belfast Trip with a good bit of motorway speeds), but cannot believe the overall efficiency.

Looks like there's also no Irish locations in the top 100 sites in the new Supercharger location voting site (https://www.tesla.com/supercharger-voting/overview)

Don't feel too bad, Ireland is still doing ok for super charger sites although one up around Sligo would be useful. The 2nd biggest city in Greece doesn't have any supercharger site yet and only makes it to number 80 in that list. North Macedonia hasn't a single site in the whole country and yet Skopje languishes in 140th. The Salonica gap remains as wide as ever 🙁. Looking at the supercharger map it seems less than 10 locations in Europe in the last quarter were chosen from the voting. The majority are still chosen by Tesla based on their own criteria.

Bit if a disaster for residual values and those who bought in recent months
