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

Ok - interesting- that was my thought on it but then the world and it’s mother are getting delivery dates and yet here I am - still waiting having ordered in January, sold my car in February as Tesla we’re going to deliver in Feb- Mar

Why am I still dealing with these people???

Is it a cult or something??

Hi Thaum1

Happy to answer your questions.

1. If the final customer price (OMSP + delivery + all fees) is over €60k, then the SEAI won't issue any grant to Tesla. So there's no chance you'll get it with the black/white car you ordered. AFAIK only 1 or 2 people got through due to Tesla incompetence on their part and they've since copped on to the issue.

2. Tesla say they can transfer the money from one car to another but I'm not so sure. I'm waiting on money from my now-cancelled discounted car to transfer over and nothing yet. Others here got refunds but only months later. It's pretty bad of them (and probably illegal?) to hold on to peoples money for so long. It's a mess frankly. I need the money back to afford the other car which I ordered in Jan so may not get it before the grant reduces due to Tesla false advertising. Will see what happens though.

Others may have had faster/better experiences than me.

Has anyone bought the car charger when buying your Tesla? Mine is being delivered next week and when I went to the SEAI charger grant website, I see that there is no Tesla charger option (even though the stock image is a Tesla FFS)

Does anyone know a workaround? I called the SEAI this morning and they said there used to be a generic charger option but it has since been removed and to go ahead and pick a different charger and hope for the best basically (no definitive answer from them). Thanks!

SEAI confirmed to me they had intentionally removed Tesla from their grant as it’s not ‘smart’ enough (no load management). Said they are actively watching out for it now

Some providers said to me we could try saying we installed a Zappi and it might get through, but no guarantees. Not worth the risk since grant comes at the very end. Just get one of the better chargers. Only reason to get Tesla was it was cheap, but no anymore with no grant.

Has anyone cancelled a custom order and gone for an inventory model instead? (MY specifically) Should I stick it out and wait? Only thing I'd be sacrificing is 20" wheels for 19".

Thats a good idea. Ill check it out. Thanks

Also there are white leather covers available. Saw them briefly on a Model Y at a recent meet up and they looked good. No idea of price and whether airbags are affected..

I also bought a Tesla charger a couple of weeks ago and returned it yesterday for a refund when I realised it was no longer suitable.

I see Thames Highway is at Dublin Port: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9316294

Has there been any sightings of car transporters with Teslas??

Give ye a laugh!!

Ordered a Model Y LR BLACK/BLACK Jan 15th - has had 4 different delivery dates from Feb -March, July-Aug, May- June to latest June 20 -31st.

Not a dickie bird from Tesla ever re scheduling collection - yet lots of later orders already filled.

Out of shear madness - yesterday I jumped on one of the discounted Model Y LR BLACK/BLACK with tow bar posted on site and ordered for €52081 knowing Tesla would likely reject this price as it included SEAI grant on a discounted car. So got onto chat who swore blind everything re price was good and go ahead and pay discounted amount - so asked her to send me an email confirming this discounted grant inclusive price, with the suggestion she check with Dublin first. Sure enough she came back apologising that no the price would not be as detailed in the agreement - so cancelled the order -

Now I have just received a message to pick a time to collect the car ordered and cancelled yesterday - with option to collect next Tuesday - 6 days after ordering while still no news on car ordered 6 months ago!!!

I had the same situation re a discounted LR white with tow bar, I cancelled on Monday and heard nothing since.

Anyone still experiencing delays with this Revenue debacle or is it just me?

I'm still waiting for an M3 and it's now over 2 months past the original delivery date. I had a confirmed delivery appointment, cancelled. Then another one, cancelled.

The delivery window then went to a 2 week estimate, with the start and end range incrementing by 1 day every 24 hours.

Complete radio silence from Tesla, won't answer callbacks, ignoring emails etc...

What debacle is this? I'm picking up my M3 on Tuesday, ordered mid-April

Cost-benefit plays here

MY LR is advertised as an extra 78km for €7,419 more so I wouldn't regret it personally. Likewise with M3 it's €9,414 for an extra 111km of advertised range

It just seems a lot to pay for a relatively small amount of benefit
