Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Waiting Room and Delivery Queries (No referral links)

VRT is based on Open Market Selling Price "OMSP" .....not car price. This amount will be indicated on your Order Agreement (bottom left) and will exceed 50K

@MarkN cc'ing Mark as a motoring jourlilest here, Tesla should experience a but of pain on this from a PR perspective outside this limited group

Exactly what I asked him… still waiting on a reply

I have been trying to untangle the thread of Tesla prices too. My understanding is as follows (but could be wrong).

Car price = €46990 (without delivery or tyre recycling). This is the price that VRT should be calculated on multiply by 1.07 = €50279.30.

I think this brings you over the €50,000 limit for VRT relief. You are right about the reduced relief between 40000 and 49999. They taper the relief by 50% for every €1 of OMSP above €40,000 (i.e. the relief is no longer available where the OMSP is €50,000 or more).

Now add back in the delivery and tyre recycling charges gives €51273.08 and subtract the €5000 SEAI grant giving €46273.08 as the final price. Then subtract your €250 deposit, you owe €46023.08. So €46269.78 is overpriced by €246.70. If you find out how to get this corrected let me know!

All aboard the Tesla RollerCoaster. We're badly in need of a 'don't stress' post from JOL1 🙂

Can you confirm the status of my order for a model Y?

11:16

[removed confirmation details]

Checking...

11:21

thank you :)

11:22

Delivery of this will be in April

11:17

and there is no cancellation for it due to the sale we ordered from last week? Just need to confirm that as someone mentioned

11:31

There are no cancellations

ok thank you

11:32

I believe your pickup will be in April

So, I asked for the status first, he said April, then to confirm the cancellation or not. He was gone for 10 mins and then confirmed the potential date again.

What are we thinking...? I think its a windup myself.

Hard to know now. We have a few sources all saying they will be cancelled.

Fun times indeed

Sorry forgot a 0 should be 50000 Grand

I asked them that .. even suggested selling me a more expensive tow bar a month later.. they said IMPOSSIBLE

2 days later discount by 5K and firesale over 12 minutes

So they had a flash sale Tues night and they sold all the reduced cars, Tesla realised it was an error Weds morning (going by the post here today) and they then decided to do another sale the following morning (weds, same day as realising error)?

How does that make sense?

Funny thing is, if they threw up a few MYs discounted now I'd jump on one 😀

Anyone actually got the call?

I think the agent I was with got confused. He confirmed my order is fine... this is insane...the amount of times my heart has stopped while ordering a tesla

It makes sense when you consider that Tesla Ireland staff take the 'Manuel' position with regards to delivery and pricing. They just accept without questioning whatever is decided further up the food chain. It was probably only discovered today when someone higher up started wondering why the discounted cars in Irish Inventory hadn't been delivered to customers before the end of the quarter.

To me, the mistake is not so much the pricing, it's that these cars even made it onto the Irish Inventory in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if someone in Tesla selected the wrong country on the RHD country list when doing the price reduction on Tuesday. Maybe they should have gone to the UK market. Even Mr. Miserable was at a loss to work out where these cars were or how they would get to Ireland in April.

It certainly feels like April fool thismorning on here 🤣
