Tesla Model Y

Does anyone know if it was AIB or Finance Ireland that the initial finance option was based on? Both/either are available within the account.

Submitted a trade in estimate request on the Tesla site. Will determine if I move ahead. If I can make the jump for a reasonable amount then I think I will.

Please read the thread for your understanding. Tesla don't do trade-ins. They offload your car to the trade and don't want to know about it. If you plan to buy a Tesla and have your old car to get rid off, sell it yourself and you will get thousands more.

Yikes, September delivery would not be good.

I sold my Kia EV6 today so am now pretty committed to the Tesla

Have 2 orders for a black and white LR in the hope of increasing my chances of getting one. But if I don't have one before the end of May I'm snookered, was planning to head of driving around Europe in the car by then!

If they are looking to sell a lot of cars this year and have pretty much as much production as they need in China they will be missing a trick if they can't deliver cars ordered now for 8 months. Or so I'm hoping!

I hope you get your car but it’s not so long ago that 8 moths would have been considered good. Although China has incredible capacity bear in mind also that it supplies the local market (second biggest after US) Australia and Europe. Ireland is a tiny market for them. Was reading today that orders in China went up 76% after their price drop which happened earlier in January. Although, as others have said, it’s likely that orders placed in Ireland last year and may be scheduled for Q1 delivery will have been cancelled as people upgrade their orders. Fingers crossed for you.

My Model 3 SEAI grant application was only requested a few days before delivery.

Thanks, I got €50k from a dealer for it (221) which I was happy with. I had it listed for €54k for a while with limited interest. I suspect I could have got €51-52 maybe from a private seller but guy dealer came with cheque and collected it with no fuss which I'm happy to live with a slightly lower price for.

Also to only lose 1.5k on a new car I'd had for a year I can live with, it's rare that would happen. In saying that, I sold my Outlander PHEV for about €3k more than I paid for it previously so I've high expectations.

I suspect a lot of the orders to here since Oct have been for SR, so I'm not sure there were loads of LR in the pipeline? Will hope for the best anyway. Wouldn't fancy taking on European trip in my wife's car (Leaf with seriously degraded battery)!

@blobert - you did really, really well. Fair play. That dealer is going to struggle to sell that car for what he paid you for it.

And LOL at a European trip in a degraded Leaf 😂

how accurate / optimistic is the estimated delivery? Appreciate i only ordered last night, but its still saying Jan / Feb 2023.

Well done, that's very strong money - I see one for sale now from a dealer for €51950. Obviously that dealer is confident Kia won't be lowering prices anytime soon

Sure. For someone who has very little time and lots of money and can't be bothered making a few grand, it's easier to just trade it in to a dealer rather than try sell it themselves. This has always been the case. In the past this was masked by smooth salesmen in main dealers, making it look like they were giving you top dollar for your trade in, while screwing you over on the price of the new car 😂

Same as that, ordered in October, but no grant application as of yet!

Same here - also applied for partial finance: rang Tesla yesterday, told me we just need to wait for the updates.

The site still says Feb/March delivery—trying to sell the car privately, but also put it for the trade-in to see what the difference is: wonder if the delivery times are just to get more orders in, with no plans to deliver - surely this would impact their investor reporting the next quarter. As in, orders vs deliveries, which wouldn't look good if they had committed sales but couldn't deliver them?

Thanks for all the posts above, very helpful indeed

Think I've asked this before and forgotten the answer, so apologies. With the Tesla Premium Sub do you still need a separate Spotify Premium account and to log into an existing Netflix account ? Or are they bundled in some way with the Tesla sub ?
