Tesla Model Y

Just requested a call back

I dont seem to have the option online anymore. My order late Feb 18-Mar7 delivery

9000 worldwide?

they had a surplus from q4 2022

They arent. If they are its worldwide. Im 117799 and no way theres 9000 y sold here in 3 months

Have also ordered another one, this time a model 3 LR in black

Will be cancelling my model y rwd in blue

Email in from Tesla to say existing orders pricing will be updated to new more affordable pricing

Ah it looks like it just sneaks above the €60k grant limit, you would think they would reduce the Destination and Documentation fee

Also I was wondering why even the black or white paint was still putting it over the 60k limit but it turns out the tow bar was being added by default

An email from Tesla.

Yeah, you'd think it was worth their while to drop the price by a few quid to ultimately get another €1200 out of me but I doubt they'll be paying attention to every possible combo and what tips over the grant.

I can ask them about it later when they are less busy, would very much like to have the white seats if it was an option.

I’d say the trade in offers are worse than ever ?

Ordered a Model Y LR in black.

The used market will take a massive hit but it'll likely take some time to filter down.

I'm thinking it may be a cheap couple of years motoring with the removal of the grant taking some of the sting out of the depreciation.

That being said, looking at used Tesla prices yesterday, many current owners probably thought the same thing about a couple of years cheap motoring - so who knows what the future will bring.

With these price drops exceeding the value of the grants, it'll be interesting to see whether they reduce it or remove it entirely this year. EV's were growing in market share before the current round of price drops and surely the other manufacturers need to respond. They must be asking themselves whether the grant is needed going forward.

They'll offer your car to the trade, but unless you're trading in another Tesla you're likely to get a very low offer and are better off selling privately.

Only a 250 deposit needed now (which is refundable under distance selling regs if a private purchase). You can change on their website after ordering how you will finance the car, cash/pcp/hp/trade in.

Many on here have been arguing that the grant should go, seems to only go straight into the manufacturers pockets.

Sure you people in here might be all very well off or rich and not need the grant but there is many who do. I for one do not think it should go till 2030 at the earliest and even think its should be increased by 50 per cent or maybe even 100 per and that way more people could afford electric cars as they would become even cheaper and more of them could then be driving electric cars so more electric cars and the road = good for us all.

Wait a minute. You are going to change from a lovely classy KIA EV6 to a Tesla. Your choice. Will your EV6 be worth more or less than what you paid for it?

Great for the overall competition in the market and for new Tesla buyers obviously, but when the dust settles it won’t be the massive game changer here in Ireland that people might think - the model 3 was the 27th biggest selling car in Ireland last year, an improvement on being the 36th best selling model in 2021 and also 2020. This will hugely boost new Tesla sales, no doubt, but will also bring forward a lot of buy-decisions too. The other manufacturers won’t need to react unless they’re losing big time volume, and it’s hard to see that happen to the ev6 or ioniq, but perhaps the ID4 volume will drop (it’s currently 3x the model 3 sales, which is a bit odd. Each to their own).

early adopters got burned, especially any LR buyers paying top dollar since the grant went in June 2021, but everyone with a Tesla took a bath today whatever way you view it.

The mirage of the €47-55k prices on 192 pre facelift SR+ will come all the way back to earth, probably to very low €30’s, which is great.

obviously any dealer/private seller with a 2nd hand tesla took an absolute bath today too - a €65k Jan 2021 LR with medium mileage is likely to be €20k down after 24months (and probably a great sweet spot in the market, for €/km of range).
