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

Regards the LR vs RWD debate for me it came down to 4 things.

1. I can charge RWD at work any day I wish to 100% and not be worried about it sitting at 100% for a few hours or 94% over night (by the time I get home)
2. I cannot get white interior in under LR grant, it may sound silly but this was a deal breaker for me as it makes a big difference inside the car.
3. I came from a bigger battery in the ID4 but and so far all is good. I would say I am losing perhaps a 10% range from a 38% smaller battery. (60KWH vs 83 KWH total) . meaning I should save something over 25% in home charging costs.
4. RWD is plenty fast enough, especially at mid speed its really quick.

With the Tesla navigation and battery prediction being so good. You really shouldn't be caught out. did a 50k trip yesterday and it had the predicted milage within 0.1% of actual :)

I am getting 418km/419km estimated range with every 100% charge so far. and before Gumbo or someone jumps on me I know I will not get this, but interested in what other RWD are showing at 100. When weather improves will we see 450ish. I know there's more than temperature but I do have a light foot when it comes to EV's so I would hope to see 450 estimated.

One other thing I noticed when charging at work (11kwh) is that the last 1-2% is extremely slow like 40 mins. Never happed with ID4. Any others notice this? Now that actually works out fine for me as it buys me more time before I have to go out and move :)

Really good balanced insight thank you

I am awaiting my MY RWD in I hope next month and have no regrets, I also have charging ability at work which is only 5 mins from my house. I have a very small commute and 3 days aweek I am in the city Center so I take the Luas.

I won’t get a home Charging yet but will get that mobile charging kit.

so it’s very much dependent on circumstances and weight it all up cause each one is different so it has to work for u

My tessie battery stats. Prediction of 418 km on a 100% charge.

Average efficiency of 152Wh/km over 357km. Not bad

Regarding slow charging - I get notifications from tessie that the charging rate is reduced from 32A to smth like 6A at the end of the charge. So I think it's normal.

RWD, Blue colour black interior, standard 19" Gemini wheels.

These seem to be available on the boat.

The figure quoted for Range on main screen is EPA and this is a very crude measurement, that has little to do with actual range and does not vary depending on temp, driving style etc.

The only place you see range based on recent driving behaviour is to display the energy screen and look for the projected range figure. This uses the average energy consumption over the length of the recent distance selected and uses this and the BMS reported available kwh to work out a range. This figure can fall in winter in cold weather due to the early parts of journey consuming more power etc

Would encourage all new users to familiarise themselves with this Energy App..it’s very accurate and in tune with the individual’s driving style

I would love to know what existing RWD and LR customers get displayed as their max range depending on charge. Is there a database of this?

I.e. something like (I'm making these figures up btw):

RWD, 100%, 415KM

RWD, 90%, 370KM

LR, 100%, 510KM

LR, 90%, 470KM

LR, 80%, 415KM

Etc?

What boats are the cars on? Tesla boat tracker has Gold Kachov off the coast of Spain with Grande Houston approaching the Suez Canal which means Vins could be allocated in the next few days. Also Morning Calypso is off the coast of India which could contain some cars also. Grande Champion and Asian Trust are off the coast of Vietnam and China respectively.

Only kidding! I suppose what I’m trying to ask in a very awkward way is that in my last ev what I saw estimated in winter was different to what I saw estimated in summer. (Mainly due to temp) As others have pointed out is the EPA.

would I expect to see too change in the model y?

Brother in law popped into Tesla today in London for a MY test drive. Apparently they had a good few new cars which were delivered to be used as demo cars but weren't needed by the stores so he's collecting his brand new MY rwd white with black next week. Wish it was that quick here! At least he used my referral.

No, the Tesla shows the same on GOM whether winter or summer, or how it is driven. Hence why few use it, though it is reasonably accurate at times in my Model 3 because a lot of my commutes are on 80 kmh roads.

Nobody really knows. I asked Tesla Ireland and they said there’s approx double the number of cars on the boat from China than in the last one but wouldn’t say (or most likely know) the split.

@BK1975 Car comes with the mobile charger included.

I completely forgot about it tbh! ....had our very excited 5 year old with me

I was over in Sandyford on Saturday Robbie. I had a look at it because it's the same colour combo we are hopefully picking up before the end of the month..... not at 51k though 😂 delighted with the colour and the sport wheels
