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

My automatic reschedule date didn't appear either. I ended up manually rescheduling it through the link to the day before, and then it appeared in my app. They auto scheduled me for the 24th which is for a Saturday, and I haven't heard of anyone collecting on a Saturday in this round. And I didn't want to mess around any more. So I put it on the 23rd and then it appeared in my app.

My delivery is Tuesday. I think my confirmation text earlier was as a result of my venting on the text line on Sunday haha!

Anybody help with this one. Looking at google maps, there seems to be 2 entrances to NVD in Baldonnell. Can anybody confirm which one we use for Tesla collections? 1 or 2

Looks like I will be getting a train/bus from Galway to pick up the car is there a bus out or will be a lazy bastard and get a cab.

I'd go Heuston-Red Cow on the Luas and taxi from there. Taxi all the way could cost a fortune and take longer

So got off the phone with Tesla.

I asked if I can pick up either earlier or from 10 July as I'm away the last week in June, and first week in July for work (Tesla aren't the only people who have quarter deadlines!).

Unless a cancellation for a pickup for an identical spec comes up before 25th I'm out of luck. I have no one to pick this up for me as everyone is either working or away. Tesla refused to extend the delivery into July as it's registration would be next quarter and apparently they aren't doing any in July (load of bs).

So, after waiting since January, getting a false discounted car also, Tesla are like "well, yeah tough!".

I'll probably cancel, get refund, then order in July and probably pick up later that same week! 🙄

You couldn't make this up!

It's madness... You could nearly run a business 4 months of the year (March, June, September and December) just picking Tesla's up for people

I'd certainly pay a few quid to save a days holidays

I think the Department of Finance should receive a lot of blame for cutting the grant as soon as they did, the grant reduction should have happened in January. There wouldn't be half the amount of anxiety and bubbling hatred otherwise.

I have heard of similar delivery delays from other brands in the past but Tesla buyers are clearly the most vocal given the disproportionate amount of Tesla posts on boards relative to sales.

You'd think with the massive incoming corporate tax windfall the department could afford to keep the incentives going at current levels given the relatively low adoption rates and emissions targets. I'd be happy with the grant reduction if they would route it towards improving infrastructure.

Apologies, thought I had quoted you above; Saggart cross might be Newland's cross; it is the stop after Rathcoole.

Last years budget extended the SEAI for a further year (6 months at full level and 6 months at reduced level). I expect the view is that take up levels of EV's are accelerating and demand rising so continuing to incentive may not be necessary to encourage switching and also for what might be considered "luxury" marques. At least things have been well flagged in advance..

Doesn't matter when they cut the grant, there would be no good time, cutting it in January would mean the same thing as now with a christmas rush thrown into the mix.

#teamwhite done a dusted.

Had a mare sorting insurance as our existing policy is with Liberty and they don't insure Tesla's, be warned.

Got the Red Luas line to Fortunestown and a €11 euro taxi ride to Baldonnel. There is a shopping centre opposite the Fortunestown stop so a queue of taxis waiting. Was going to walk but wasted too much time on the phone to insurance companies...

We were the last collection of the day, 3:30, so had a bit of time to check everything and the guys there went through the app to make sure all was set up. Car clean and no issues with bodywork or paint, thorough inspection tomorrow.

Not many cars there, 20 maybe, as per previous photo from MaireBee and only one that had a reg applied. They said a boat has just come in and they will be processing 80/day so things will be ramping up.

I never thought the SR or the ID3 we have are particularly slow but the LR is fairly rapid 😁😁😁 Second update currently downloading and then tweaking user settings before the fun begins...

For those collecting it really is a straight forward process.

EDIT- Car was charged to 86% and we got the 160km free charging.

I picked up my Model Y last month and was able to amend my existing Liberty insurance policy for a very small fee to cover the new motor. Mad that they told you they couldn’t, that’d be a right hassle

It would certainly saved a lot of hassle today. Will call them again tomorrow to see what they say.

Try 123.ie ... very straight forward and competive

That's a strange one, did they give you any reason for this other than your car brand?
