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

Picked up a model y RWD last week. Sounds like I spent longer than average ~45min looking it over and found a scuff on the front bumper around the dummy fog light insert. Slight misalignment on the boot also. All logged on the app with the help of delivery team. Does anyone who took delivery recently have experience of the wait time for issues to be resolved by the service department? No real contact from them yet.

For what it's worth, I've spoken to a couple of different people and asked the same question in passing while clarifying some other points. Eddy was the least committal, Matthew reckoned it was on schedule and the guy in the Sandyford office reckoned it'd be closer to the start of June. So, somewhere in between that mix!

Take your offer and consider buying a banger like this to keep you going. Sell it on or even trade to Tesla when your new car arrives. https://www.donedeal.ie/view/34092567

Shouldn’t be an issue as long as it’s not too ancient and has some NCT on it. Keep your existing policy and transfer it to the banger. Downgrade your insurance cover to third party and enjoy telling the neighbours you’ve fallen on hard times.

I'm considering a Model 3 RWD more or less basic spec or even from inventory. Only issue is I can only take delivery in the first week of July. Is there any way to achieve this while still getting the full grant? For example if I place the order in mid June? Or will they end up not giving me the full grant anyway?

So just got off a quick call with Sales teams in Sandyford. It looks like the revenue is not resolved for everyone they are trying to deal with it one by one basis at the moment. The impacted order as it stands are M3 RWD, M3LR, M3P, MYRWD and MYP. If someone wants a quicker delivery they can opt for MY LR. Also the vehicles are still in transit , they haven't arrived in Ireland yet because they want to first resolve the issue then bring the cars over.

By MYLR being a 'quicker delivery', does that mean they're transporting them separately?

I would question whether resolution of the issue with Revenue would impact deliveries of vehicles to Ireland. Likelihood they have made their way to Zeebrugge from Shanghai and leaving them there serves little purpose. They are All RHD so even if this was true the only other market is UK which is flush with inventory so its not possible/efficient to divert. Not doubting what may have been mentioned by the Tesla sales but I would need convincing that this is a reason for cars not yet arriving.

Hi David I picked mine up today M3LR. Should be no issue with the revenue now.

That was almost my route - and at times I have regretted it, but less so now that delivery is ALMOST here (I hope!).

Went to see/drive a BORN at Spirit and was told they would have one for me within 2 weeks. I nearly signed, but didn't.

And despite all the faff with Tesla, I'm not sorry I didn't go ahead. I really liked the BORN, but feel the TESLA will be a whole new/different experience...... should it ever arrive!!!

Here's some efficiency figures for those awaiting delivery...

Trip A, is total since delivery.

Since Charge is today's totals, a mixture of all sorts of roads and speeds. Used 34% battery, from 83% down to 49%.

Current drive was a 41km trip from Clane to Glasnevin, again at all different speeds and road types.

So much more efficient than my previous ID3.
