Tesla Model Y

Will do! Thanks Gumbo!

What is roughly the resale value you would expect in three years time if you bought a Model Y today?

(I mean the regular one being sold for €47K)

I know it's impossible to predict, but what is your expectation / best estimate?

In 3 years market should mature considerably, and supply volumes should normalise.

For the purpose of forecasting I would use the standard depreciation levels of a ICE cars that are popular. Anything additional is a bonus, and several things should prevent above average depreciation; such as demand remaining high, gap in popularity to other competitors

• Year 1: €47,000 - 20% = €37,600
• Year 2: €37,600 - 15% = €31,960
• Year 3: €31,960 - 15% = €27,166

As you said, impossible and or total guess work, but if forced to find something to hang a hat on that is my effort.

Depending on mileage and condition I think you could expect to get close to 30k.

Remember very few EV's being sold which will keep prices high in the second hand market going forward. Once they start increasing motor tax on ice cars similar to what happened back in 08 demand for EV's will soar and with very few imports these days the existing fleet will hold it's value very well. I'd be very surprised if that is not the case.

Indeed. From gov.ie:

Government investment strategy for electric vehicles will begin to rebalance towards supporting EV charging infrastructure.

This change aligns with similar polices in European nations, where countries including Norway, Germany and France have begun to curb vehicle subsidies and government investment in EVs is moving towards infrastructure.

I have an update in my Tesla app. When I try click download in the app it says please connect to Wi-Fi. I am connected to Wi-Fi…. Is this a known issue or how can I fix this?

The car needs to be connected to WI-FI.

The opposite of that is happening in reality though. They're are dropping at the rates of ICE. Elons manipulations of the sales prices isn't helping residuals either. So as above best honest guess would be 50% or more.

I think the gearing is the same whatever steering mode you use, just the assistance level changes. (But could be wrong)

Lock isn't great in my Model 3 either, I think we were a bit spoiled in the ID.3. But I do like the sensitivity of the steering, not requiring much turning lock to lock.

Evidence of what? Everyone will have to move over to electric in the next 10 years and given the cost of them most will look to the second hand market and with very few EV's being sold now second hand market won't be huge thereby keeping the price. It's simple supply and demand.

Ok what's the number of EV's in Ireland versus non EV?

A quick Google tells me there's 2.7 million cars in Ireland of which 50,000 are electric.

I have the same on my service request. Did you ever find out what this was about?

Used these for touch up paint and they were excellent.

Hi all. ok MYlr 2 weeks old. and I'm losing between 3 and 9% every night . I have every feature turned off in app or within the car. pre condition cabin overprotection off . camp dog mode sentry . no charging at night been done. no navigation to a charger active. no pre conditioning not much info on the energy consumption page to tally with my losses. can any one explain . I understand losses will always be part of ev ownership but 9% is at level I can't except. can anyone give me any ideas before I log a ticket

sentry mode is off as well jol1. kinda dumb founded at present . not finding on the net to explain my issue. time to book a service request maybe.
