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

Aviva insured me but I have been with them for a while. Try a broker. First insurance in Ireland will be high.

Ya loads of time. I got my delivery date 7days before hand and paid it off over the week and got the registration information on the Friday when I paid off the balance. Collected the Tuesday after.

Thanks I’ve tried that too, getting a full mismatch of information from each person I’ve spoken too. Went actually instore too which wasn’t worth the drive tbh 😂

I was really well looked after by evinsurance.ie in the end.

Sorry I didn’t make myself clear.

They had discounted new Long Range Y’s with the tow bar on inventory. Ordered one, showed a booking invoice of 52k net of grant and now they’ve gone dark. Talking to others who’ve bought these & had to cancel it’s because it’s an error on the system. These cars should never have been order-able net of grant.

Could they not remove the towbar and sell the car with the €5K grant ? Hardly a mammoth task for a Ranger or any half competent mechanic. I’m sure most buyers could live without it and retrofit after registration if needed.

I bought a black one of there on Friday (It has a €3310 discount) - which meant the car qualified for the SEAI grant.

I still have the car in my Tesla app and have a VIM number assigned.

Model Y €39,990.00

Long Range All-Wheel Drive €13,900.00

Tow Hitch €1,350.00

Delivery & Documentation Fee €980.00

Price Adjustment -€3,310.00

Car Price €52,910.00

I now have 2 cars on order and was going to cancel the 1st one (without toe bar - as with my 14 days).

I have not talked to Tesla... are you saying I will have isses?

Customer walk away ??

SEAI Grant is €5000, I don’t think your €3310 discount is grant related. Both cars you have on order should be identical in terms of tech.

The consensus is that car for €52,910 will be reverted back to €57,910 just before you go to pick it up. Highly unlikely you’ll get it for €52,910.

No point calling or asking chat. They’ll lie and say all is fine, encourage you to pay right up until the very last second when it’ll get cancelled. Scroll back a few pages, it has happened to multiple people on here already. You’ll get an email from Natalie with the bad news closer to collection.

Whatever you do, don’t cancel the original order until you’re actually sitting in the discounted car. Nothing is certain with Tesla until you’re driving out of baldonnel

Sorry, saying if you have two orders. One legit, one discounted. Don’t cancel the ‘legit’ order until you’re actually sitting in the discounted one. Tesla could cancel the discounted one right up until the very last second so I would assume it won’t happen right until the moment you actually collect it (unlikely).

Oh and another piece of advice. This has all happened to me so speaking from experience. They’ll try really hard to ask you to pay for the discounted car in full for collection - DONT.

After they cancel they won’t be able to transfer funds to your original order and the refund will take 8-12 weeks. So unless you have enough funds to pay for 2 cars, you won’t be able to pay for your original order at the end of June.

They’ll determine this to be you refusing to take delivery before quarter end which means they’ll cancel the original car also and put you to the back of the queue. Fun times.

As I said in my other comment, any Y LR with a towbar will show the same amounts in the OSMP, but it doesn't mean it qualifies for the grant. You need total OSMP + all other fees (delivery, tire recycling, etc) to be under 60k. You cannot take into account discounts. For a Y LR with towbar that value is 2-300 euros over the 60k threshold

It's an endless cycle due to the ineptitude of the ordering system to take into account these discounted cars properly.

As hostoi, datadude and others have mentioned, some of us on here have already had that car and others with a discount ordered only to be let down much later on.

That car will not be sold net of grant 100%. In fact there are many so called "firesale" cars still sitting in the inventory after they had an incorrect discount applied and were snapped up, only to led to disappointed customers later on.

In the case of the discounted car you have ordered,the discount will be honoured, just not the grant.

If you cancel that order, it will go back into the inventory again and someone else will be disappointed..rinse and repeat until the grant is phased out I'd imagine..

I don’t really see what advantage HW4 has in Ireland considering we can’t use FSD. The difference is negligible

Tesla Vision if working properly with HW4 would be nice to have.
