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

I have asked them while my last phone call and the lady said: weekdays only. I tried to press her saying that I work in the same hours as Tesla and have no other option, but she was relentless. I think weekdays only so :(

What's the story with the SEAI grant form......as in what actions are there for the customer?

I have an M3 scheduled for collection this week (although waiting to hear back about pushing out to next week). I haven't fully paid the balance yet and haven't received anything about the SEAI grant.

I don't really know if i should pay the remainder until I know the grant is sorted out though. Haven't been able to get through to them on it today.

Or do they just look after that. I thought they need some info/details from me to complete the form? Or is it just name/address/car details?

I wouldn't trust that Tesla tell their reps the truth. There are delays, but I wouldn't call 4-5 weeks late a delay.

I reckon maybe stock was diverted to England and Ireland can wait. Bigger market to placate.

I picked up a Model Y Long Range (White/Black) earlier.

Glad to finally get a car after many months of madness and placing no less than 5 orders at various points (still waiting to be refunded the deposits) in the hope of speeding things up.

In the end I seemed to manage to get a discount by canceling one of my orders and then ordering again, they relisted it at a lower price (€1600 discount) and I ordered it again:)

Interestingly like a lot of other people waiting, my original orders from back in January have jumped around in dates a lot and are now around estimated around the end of June.

In an ideal world I would have prefered a Black MY but I can live with the white one at a lower price (might get it wrapped as a compromise) and I was also starting to get worried I would not have a car by the end of June (set to drive around Europe in July).

Of course I'm 100% sure now that I've taken delivery that there will be loads of bargains and I would have been able to get a car with white seats (which I would have loved) for under the grant threshold if I'd just waited a few weeks more:)

Hence I think I might not look at these threads again and delete that Telegram feed from my phone so the madness can finally end!

PS for the chap asking for pics out there, here's most of the cars, I would say <100

There will be a pretty good period coming up for EVs, nothing like what we had last year mind...

Oil prices are going to climb steadily with extra taxes being added and OPEC cutting the supply while our energy billers will at some point this year pass on the wholesale discounts. It might take an awakening from sleepy Eamonn but I am confident it will happen

This will increase demand for EVs, new and second hand

On a wholesale price, yes they are correlated, also correct to add in - for now. But on a consumer price not as much

Tesla Superchargers dropped prices twice this year so far, now stands at 42c/kWh at some locations, cheaper than some home chargers. Only a matter of time before home billing companies do the same... I'll admit I am no expert and could be wrong, but I don't think I am

Anyone still have just a hidden VIN? I'm seeing a lot of posts about VINs appearing in the app now and the EDD being adjusted.

Mine is still hidden after weeks of it and I still have a 12 - 27 June EDD. M3 RWD

I have same EDD but not hidden VIN (I assume searching for "LRW" in source code reveals it?).

If external finance used this is independent of Tesla and I suspect they don't get involved.. Its responsibility of the purchaser to get funds to Tesla and where it comes from doesn't matter to them.

You will usually find the settlement details IBAN etc under the Payments section on your Tesla Account. If your intention is that you are getting the credit union to make the payment direct make sure to get them to quote your RN number as this is what is used to allocate the payment. Between your order agreement and a screen shot of Tesla payment details (IBAN) I expect this will be enough.

I did the 5YJ at the start too 😂

Took me a few days to find that China should be LRW

EDD of mid to end of June and still waiting for proper loan approval from anpost/avant. I had seen previously in the thread someone mentioned you get about 30 days prior to delivery to make payment, but I can't find the post, is this definitely the case?

The reason for asking is my VIN showed up in the app today which got me thinking!

You do have a point re it being safer for customers to pay lower PCP payments and squirrel away money for the next deposit - at least in markets where the car value drops significantly more than forecast (currently the case for Teslas but not generally applicable I'd suggest). However I think that many consumers will lack the discipline to put away money each month for the next deposit and that, in many cases, they will simply see the lower monthly payment and presume they're getting the car for "cheaper" and have no notion that they'll need thousands after 36 months to move to a new car - at the end of the day they're still spending the same amount in total but I'd argue that the lower GMFV approach is better suited to the 'average man on the street' who is unlikely to know the ins and outs of PCP products (the amount of people who think they just automatically step into a new car after 3 years with no cash down is scary).

EDD of 13 June to 28 June just updated to allow for payment - fingers crossed an post/avant get their thumb out and approve!

Yeah no worries will definitely follow that advice - it's more the wanting to have the finance secure in the event the delivery date comes and goes or something like that. I've seen the posts with people waiting weeks (and months?) for a refund for various refunds
