Tesla Talk

Yeah, as someone who's had a mild interest in space and space travel since childhood, what SpaceX have achieved with the Falcon 9 & Falcon Heavy launch systems is nothing short of incredible... The rate at which they can launch payloads to orbit is simply astounding, with multiple same day launches... all at a fraction of the cost previously... then they started sending humans on the rockets, and again with what appears to be such ease.

The booster landings have become so mundane lately, in that it's such a regular occurance it's just expected to be a success now every time, so hardly interesting anymore, yet when they first started doing it, it seemed so incredible and futuristic.

Mostly driven and inspired by Musk, though I still think he's a massive Cee U Next Tuesday

Nobody knows, possibly, but I doubt it. The Model Y here is still cheaper than the discounted UK price. The discounted UK price converts to about €47k. Here €46.5k.

Yeah anyone who pays €30 for a 330ml bottle of beer needs their head examined…

but fools and their money……

And as long as there are fools out there to buy this sh1te (beer, the gin or whiskey or whatever it was in the decanter, sexy knickers etc….) Tesla will keep doing it…

the profit margin on this beer must be insane, so why not if there are folk gullible enough to bite…

Now, a bottle of Prime energy drink on the other hand. That would be worth it, I'd say 😁?

Something like this

"Lads I bought it and will have it delivered next week"

Then a few hours later

"Lads, what have I done"

Few hours later

"It will be grand, vroom vroom"

Is that because your expecting it will take the weekend to get your face back in shape?

Nearly guaranteed.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You can't make your product as volatile as this. It's still 40k plus which is alot of money for most people and people do expect to have some residual value in their vehicle so they can sell on in a few years. If tesla keep making their product values diminish so quickly people will buy elsewhere where the residuals still exist.

They can't perform this trick into perpetuity. Brands get names for themselves and people steer clear.

It's exactly what the market needs, massive competition now, which we haven't seen in years, sick to my stomach of being robbed by the autogiants for the last decade.

Forecourts are already offering peanuts for trade-ins on VW, Nissan, Hyundai etc EV's now because of this, they don't want to be holding lemons when Tesla are fire saleing like this

That ID3 you bought for 40k last year, is worth at most 30k now if you can get a much superior Tesla M3 for less than 40k brand new. That 10k depreciation wont be coming back from the night rate leccy lol :), many EV owners are gonna get screwed in a few years come trade in time, they don't call them low hanging fruit for no reason :) You'd sell anything to that lot lol

I honestly love it, delighted to see the smugness knocked off the face of EV owners thinking it was a good idea to spend 42k on a little Hyundai Kona lol, a few hurt wallets and egos in the grand scheme to get affordable powerful EV's onto the streets is a good thing. Tesla just needs to get Model 2 and 1's out now, truly affordable cars

Lads Tesla have sold 250 model 3’s all year, and only 125 across every county outside Dublin. It’s literally in the noise level of Irish sales, but for whatever reason continues to get a massively disproportionate amount of column inches and Boardsie posts.

Tesla is a 1.5 model car company, at the very most.

if they were to announce a new mass market model this very night, you lads won’t see it in Dublin for at least a few years - so no matter what happens in the next few years, Tesla will only have an aging model Y to sell in Ireland.

talk of cybertrucks and roadsters and Semis and humanoid robots are just nonsense. You can’t buy them here, even if the Tesla website would make you think you can.

I intend to drive the **** out of my model 3 for the next 10 years, hoping to reach 300,000kms and sell it on for maybe about a grand in 2033

I can do this regardless of the price of a new one in 10 years time so Elon can do what he wants to the price as far as I'm concerned

So you got it? Or are deffo going for it??

Fair Play.

And yet asking prices for used M3s remain stubbornly high.

Who is seriousaly thinking that a Tesla will be worth €1k after 10 years? Get a grip. The batteries alone will be worth a big multiple of that. Model S batteries are selling for about $1k on Ebay. A 2013 Model S 85 has 16 of them

I think the point they were making was simply that they didn’t care if the car was depreciated 100% after 10yrs

This exactly, I'm also assuming my mileage over those 10 years is going to be on the high side so assuming I won't get much for it... If I do then great!

Thanks... Was due to pick up on Tuesday and got told on Friday that won't be happening so rebooked for next week

So in short it's up to Tesla whether I get it or not
