Tesla Model Y

it's all psychological. As in the Y RWD is a 50-60K car all day long when compare to EV market out there.

Just Tesla business model leaving a sour taste, which includes myself. But as im writing this having a cup of tae, the 2 smallies are out playing some racing game and the steering wheel doing 90 (At least someone can put kms on it!). between that and YouTube kids they think its the best thing since sliced bread :)

And as people might have seen from my previous posts its likely that ill be handing it back in next 2 weeks but im damn sure getting another one!

Not sure what ill do with my time when this boardsing and Tesla inventory refresh jazz is finally over. Might take up a course or write a book, a 2nd job maybe lol😂

Had a blue 3 since 2020 and got a blue Y this week 💙

Fair play to you. Think if I told the wife I was returning the family car because some lads on Boards got a 4K discount that we may or may not also get in June, I’d be asking the lads in Sandyford for a place to sleep as well as returning the car.

Estimated del date April 17 to may 4th if I remember correctly.

have a nice car from a family member whos out of country for all of April. So working out ok. If that eta pushes dramatically then yes it goes from a little bit of hassle for 5k to something a bit more..

Anyone know of a good option for MY waterproof mats (front, rear, boot, frunk etc)?

I know there are a lot of good options on AliExpress but the estimated delivery is 24th May.

I'd be hoping for something that could be delivered sooner.

There are plenty on here who are keen to get a car before the grant disappears in order to save 5k or even 1.5k.

There are also people who will wait for the big sales. They never know how much something will be reduced by but are willing to hold off and even potentially miss out.

Further decreases in price won't bother a sizeable cohort of people and won't influence their purchasing decision which is perfectly fine.

Don't assume everyone is the same.

All the above are valid. People will decide for themselves.

Just received the software update notification for the Tesla Vision Park Assist, so it will be interesting to see how it is. I'd assume more and more should receive the update now. Anyone on her who have tried it already?

Look forward to bringing the kids to school in the morning now to see how it works.

Thanks will take a look

I got it earlier tonight.

Broadly agree. You also need to factor in reduced costs and increased efficiencies. Don't see the price reduction to 40k or lower taking that long. Will be interesting to revisit this a year from now!

I’d also suspect that when they get to that price they will have more stripped out and you’ll have to pay to enable things that are standard today.

One potential problem with trying to undercut your competitors with price is the association of increased price with increased quality. "You get what you pay for". There are so many people out there who believe what car sales staff tell them. They don't do any research of their own. They have a 'relationship' with their local dealer, "Johnny has always looked after me before and gotten me a good deal".

A relation of mine doing 100-150km rural kms for work, always returning home, was advised by their dealer back in February. The dealer asked the questions about their daily usage. Thought hard for a while and said "A diesel would suit you best". Was it a co-incidence this was a Hyundai dealer who had been instructed not to take any new I5 orders for the remainder of the year? But my relation, a reasonably intelligent person, with a 3rd level qualification, working for the Department of the Environment swallowed every bit of it. These are the parts of the market that Tesla will never reach, even if they reduced the price of their cars to €10. And it's a large part of the market.

Looking at the below at the moment;

D1M MOTOX

The boot liner you linked above looks excellent but probably over engineered for me (don't have pets)

Mostly the same I reckon. Ordered the cheapest set with orange rubber ring from Amazon few days ago - £12 I think, albeit delivery now not until end April so may cancel and reorder another set.

I collected a model Y earlier this week. I updated my software yesterday to 2023.2.12 after the car prompted me to do so. Screen now says my software is up to date but I know there are newer releases since this. Is there a way to force car to look for software updates? I have ticked the standard for software updates and I see an advanced option aswel. Should I be using advanced?
