Tesla Talk

Sales in a market like Ireland could well slow down quite a bit. Most EV buyers wanting a Tesla will have bought one in the first half of this year. Potential heavy depreciation caused by dropping prices means existing Tesla owners won’t be able to change up into a 2024 or 2025 car for any kind of reasonable money. Service team and SC network likely to be under serious pressure too given the sudden rise in the number of Teslas on Irish roads. I think Sandyford is already getting a bad name with some customers choosing to use Belfast instead.

I'm still waiting for this heavy depn to kick in. 2020 cars with a €5 to €6k cost of change after 3 years (even less in many cases) doesn't seem overly excessive.

Maybe so but the dealers are sure able to ask pretty strong used prices at present

It doesn’t work like that with Tesla inventory - they take one ‘copy’ of each car, and even if they have 50 e.g white on black rwd, they only list one of them until all 50 are sold.

remember that they’ve got over 10,000 S/X inventory alone, and that was only 5% of Q1 production.

nobody does multiple price cuts in their primary market when they only have a 1/2 day of inventory.

in short - with Austin & Berlin now up to speed, Tesla are building more cars than they have buyers for and are cutting the prices over and over to try to drive that demand - who don’t seem to be biting in nearly enough numbers.

Quick Q

When you buy a Tesla second hand how do you transfer the car to your tesla account from the previous owner.

If a call to Tesla is required what do they require as proof of new ownership ?

thanks

When I did mine, I mailed the VIN, license plate and a photo of the VLC (log book) to them and they switched it over.

I think Bjorn had a video on how to change over a year or so ago through your account. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but it looked simple enough.

Not if one uses a key card.

The poster hadn't paired/authorised a phone, for use as a key.

A lot of new Model X and Model S in inventory, I wonder if they manage to sell any of them here as they are LHD.

Also UK buyers are receiving the same email this morning.

Received the same of my X plaid order.

I will never own a Tesla again, and my 3 will be for sale within 2 months. **** tesla and **** elon musk.

Precisely. I'm looking at deals online as we speak for pricing and spec on a Q8 etron 55 and Mercedes EQS SUV as the best equivalents for my X preorder that was canceled. At least some companies care enough about customers prepared to spend six figures on their cars to actually include a steering wheel on the right side.
