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

Did actually drive one of these. Lovely looking car and much smoother on the road than the Tesla. My interactions were limited but did get the sense customer service would be more like what we’d all be use to than the farce that is Tesla

Shame the dual motor is just a few hundred above grant.

I did find the back seats and boot of the car to be surprisingly tight on space. Im 6’2 and I wouldn’t fancy a long journey in the back. I had to take my driver out of the golf bag to fit it in - not sure how much space would be left after a buggy for example?

I’m deeply frustrated about no movement on M3 orders, seems Tesla only wants to sell MY in Ireland.

I have two small kids and a large buggy and it's been okay. The boot is pretty big but not huge. Its not as practical as a Model Y but unless you are dealing with three car seats in the back I think it's perfect. Initially, I did think it felt cramped inside on the test drive but I honestly think the large central console gives the illusion of less space. The test drive cars are older too and a new car just looks and feels more special. I think if you are a two child family and maybe over the stage of lugging around their entire life in the boot it's a great option. I've had a few EVs so I'm not as concerned about range. I find I charge the Polestar more than our second car with a bigger battery but you'd be hard pushed to need a public charger with the standard range version if you do normal milage per week. I commute about 160km per day in it and use less than half of the battery range on a cold day. As I mentioned above, Polestar were excellent to deal with. I was really impressed with them and they let you drive the car as much as you want before purchasing. I got my car in 12 days and even the finance company they work with were so helpful and the guy Jonathan I was dealing with could be reached on his mobile. He didn't mess me about and sent me countless offers before we agreed on one I was happy with.

Good morning all! Happy Easter!

I got a mail this morning asking me to prioritise delivery by completing the next steps of registration (e.g. uploading driving license and proof of insurance). That's odd to me. I won't be able to get proof of insurance until I get a license plate number, surely? They're putting the cart before the horse here, no?

I assume I won't get a VIN until I've paid the balance, but without the proof of insurance how do I get to the payments stage on the site?

Mine's a MY RWD W/B, by the way.

I only ordered it last Tuesday so I'm not expecting it anytime soon - Conan(?) in the shop suggested mid to late May.

By the way, any suggestions for competitive insurance quotes? I got €533 from 123.ie, €470 from Allianz and FBD & Bonkers wouldn't quote me online.

And mine. Ordered MY RWD in November and changed to LR Standard Black on Black on price drop on 14th Jan. Have had numerous changes to EDD and now can't see my Order Agreement either. It is really bad form if others who ordered the same car in Feb are getting theirs first. Loan approval is about to expire for the 2nd time so I'll have to jump through those hoops again to have it ready just in case. Booked ferry to Spain for road trip in the new car at the end of June and will be really disappointed if I have to take the old diesel. 1st world problems I know but as someone said on here a few weeks back "It's never been so hard to spend €55k!

Obviously the next boat is full of Blue RWD Model Y’s even though the majority of unfulfilled January order are for grant qualifying LR Model Y’s in Black or White. They really seem to be clueless in terms of ordering/delivering cars.

Pricing has not changed over recent weeks . You just need to look at the breakdown and components as the price that you see against each model is the price before VRT and the SEAI grant ...one positive and one negative

I would stay away, they're clueless

I got grey/white.

Hi all

Long time lurker, first time poster! 😁

I'm looking to order a MY but stuck between LR Vs RWD.

Basically, only LR is white/black as I don't want to lose the grant.

So was thinking RWD is enough for me as I could get it in a blue.

But it's the range I'm wondering about. I'm up to date with the LFP pros/cons and it stands to my reasoning that for most days the range is the same as LR because the LR battery should only be charged to 80% or so (though of course you can charge more for those one off trips) Vs the 100% of the LFP (on paper at least).

This is my thinking. But am I right in the range thinking?

Does anyone who has a LR and RWD (or moved from one to the other) have a different take? What is the real world range in Ireland of the RWD Vs LR?

I have 2 small kids so even on long trips I'm stopping every 2-3 hours or so anyways for the next few years.

The extra acceleration is nice, but is it worth the 7.5k extra or so? 🤔

Just hate to miss a trick by not going LR.

Thanks

I had an LFP rear wheel drive Model 3 (same battery config as the Model Y RWD). In my experience it had a range of 400km at 100km/h, 300km at 120km/h. A Model Y RWD should get about 90% of those figures above.
