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

Black MY LR cars were a popular choice in January when prices dropped. They were the only grant qualifying LR Y that wasn’t white and lots of Irish buyers wouldn’t want a white car. For whatever reason they have made no effort to send these cars over the last 5 months.

I think it's also fair to say that anxiety is probably normal as collection day gets closer!

I can only speak for myself but I always feel better having as much information as possible (good or bad) beforehand.

You have to remember that for the majority on here, it is their first Tesla experience and the more that report back after collection, will serve to inform those yet to collect.

For example, there have been reports of dodgy PPF installations by some. That is great information to have in advance.

Very possible.

But here in Ireland we care far too much about devaluation on our cars, and I blame the reg system. If your reg didn't have a year on it, would you care as much?

Also, values are very different to how they were years ago, at the moment anyways. As the move to EV continues we see electric cars holding value very well. No one knows what's around the corner and your car could be worth the same in a few years, a bit more even, or a lot less.

For example, what do you think would happen to the value of your car if Elon decided to put the price up €10k next month?

Collected mine yesterday. Spent a good bit of time there too. Luckily the weather held up and was actually very nice. Not as busy as I had anticipated.

Went through the checklist someone posted a while back (https://teslaprep.glideapp.io/dl/d0a5f4) serve as a good reminder but if doing again, I'd recommend to print it out because the webpage reload every now and again and you lose the tick you have selected/checked.

All in all, the key collection was quick, 5 mins in and out, then the rest of the time is just you checking your car (and most probably comparing to other similar model near by) or playing around with the system.

I did find some panel gap issue. One is the boot and the other is the light. Logged a service request already. So keep an eye out for people collecting soon. Below is the left and right side for comparison purpose.

State of battery was 34% when I got it. Popped over to Sandyford for a charge. Very busy, I guess most people have the same idea.

Thanks @lau1247 for photos. I wonder how many people are not aware of requirement to do quality check on pick up and take cars as they are.

How bad does it look and how will that be fixed by ranger?

Will they give you a replacement car

The top part is not as noticeable unless you look closely but the light cluster is definitely more noticeable. But I believe both issue are related. As in, if they fix the alignment of the boot, the light cluster should automatically be fixed to by the same adjustment

I cancelled through chat and same process but order was gone from web and app immediately. No refund yet - cancelled on Tuesday

Picked my Y up yesterday. As others have already metnioned the exterior was very dirty as if it had been on a building site. Was talking to a staff member beside the car and he said it was filthy without me having even mentioned it. He checked that the fellas that wash them were still there and brought it down to them for a quick clean.

Again as others have said the PPF was awful so raised it in the app.

Took no more than five minutes to finish the sale and get the keys.

Car had 42% charge. My "free" 150km of credit was active on my account so went to Enfield and topped up to get home.

Really is a lovely car to drive.

I added the tow hitch but I see it wasnt installed, anyone know should it have been as I see on the Tesla website if you buy one afterwards it says it includes installation.

Check the frunk for the hitch itself. Everything else should be installed

Am I the only one who’s kind of hoping to pick up my Tesla and want it dirty? 😂 I’d much rather not have the Tesla lads wash it!

I ordered M3 RWD from inventory on Thursday, to see if would come any quicker than the same car ordered mid March with hidden VIN and EDD of June 12 to June 27. The inventory car also had a hidden VIN and EDD of June 13 to June 28. So my guess is that the 'coming soon' cars are on the same ship as the M3s ordered since last February (ones with EDD of June 3 to June 27). I think there is a good likelyhood that we will have them by end of June because Tesla is Quarter driven and will want sales completed by end of June.

Is the VRT issue not just for Long Range, not RWD? My order agreement for M3 RWD has been updated with new OMSP.
