Tesla Model Y

Sorry to hear that but I would feel the same and cancelled regardless if I got one. I promissed that to myself before the sale even started and I doubted it will.

@E30M3 Which email did you use? I’m abroad so can’t send or bring in the paper letter.

I think you're crazy but each to their own. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Now if I could pick up a LR for a few quid more and return the RWD with relatively no hassle I would jump at it.

I sent it to a couple

Sales_dublin@tesla.com and ContactUK@Tesla.com

I also dropped into Sandyford and the guy I spoke with said that they had it on the system and he didn't need a paper copy, I received no e-mail personal acknowledgement or phone call thats why I drove to Sandyford.

On the 5k grant, SEAI confirmed it stays with the vehicle. If you cancel and then order a new EV, once you (or the dealer) apply for the grant by June 30th, it is valid for four months. You have to tax the vehicle before October to get the full amount, after that you only get the 3.5k value.

100% understand but I have strong views on stuff and whilst I accept there would be nothing you could do if over the 14 days but I expect anyone who paid 53 would have cancelled if they say reduced prices and were within the 14 day limit.

It isn't a crusade on my part, I'm doing what feels less wrong but I feel that unless Tesla on some level see impacts from their actions it won't serve existing customers well going forward.

I'd echo Gumbo's view. Not to personalise it but it sounds like a case of sour grapes on your part that someone got a better deal?

In a few months time your car will have depreciated by the same amount. This fire sale wont affect depreciation at all so this comment isn't true...

Now, if Tesla come out and drop the prices for all new purchases again (like they did on 10 Jan) then that's a different matter. That isn't what has happened though... yet.

Also, you got the benefit of the 10 Jan price drop and weren't in solidarity with those who bought a few months previously at much higher prices so your "impact from their actions" comment runs a little hollow for me.

Ultimately, you either like the car you bought or you dont and you have to do what makes you happy but it seems a little premature to me to be returning it because a relatively small bunch of people got a better deal in the last 24hrs.

They do fit but I have seat protectors on the rear seats and it’s hard for little fingers to put the belt on themselves, I’ve no problem doing it but they get very independent very quickly

Look at it another way. What if Elm is offered a 5k discount to keep his car. But they don't offer it to you or Gumbo or anyone else. Would you be pleased for E30M3 and think ah well, that's life?

Appreciate it is not the same thing but you get my point.

Without the seat protectors there’s no issue I just wouldn’t trust my savages not to wreck the seats without one and the opening for the belt connector is quite tight

same here, I was orignally on black seats for the kids .. but with the 5K discounts I had to go for the available one with white seats and not sure how to protect it from car seats / kids :D

You can hope!

Maybe €40-€45k... but another €5k less than that again.... cant see it myself but you never know.

And if it gets to €40k.... will you be then saying.... hmm, they might drop again and again.... when do you decide the time is right?

This is pulled from the telegram postings of last nights cars. It’s a MYLR car that was sold. Gives an insight (not sure how accurate) of the build currently being sold.

There is a point where they are unlikely to drop below. Tesla has plenty of margin on them at the moment and is moving to a higher volume lower margin model. Also watching what happens in the US is a good indicator of what happens in Europe a few weeks later.

Not sure it's the right thread but anyway. What are we using as a toll tag. Thinking of cancelling eflow and using something else. Hate the way they charge the full amount and then rebate monthly...
