Tesla Model Y

Just an update on this. It’s very mild at moment so there’s the caveat.

We travelled to Dublin yesterday in ID.3 at 100% charge and drove mostly at 120. Never skimp on the heating or anything like that. Stayed overnight and Drove around a bit this morning and got home with 37% left after 270 km or so.

So we can head out with the kids today also without needing to charge until tonight. Dublin trip used 48 kWh. Given model y is reporting similar consumption we’d have just under 10 kWh left on a day like today ( which isn’t the worst for range).

The huge range on the tour is very useful to us.

Ah yes, I had forgotten there were only a few around in 2022 and that they only really started getting some volume in 2023.

Picked up a AWD Y last month but it was an inventory car so probably built late 2023 sometime. I was coming from a 2019 Model 3 and the ride quality is noticeably better. Still find it a little bumpy at low speeds like the 3 was but it's a big improvement on what I had. No idea if that's because it's a bigger car or just a newer EV.

Not yet for Ireland....some say that US Model Y's are now including. With Tesla the first sign is when cars are delivered with it. No advance notice given (understandable).. Q1 deliveries of cars that arrived from China have not yet been delivered.

I think I'm going to have to just pull the trigger on an inventory MY. I'm afraid that if it comes down to the wire and the custom order won't arrive that I'll miss out on the 0% finance completely on the inventory MY also.

I'm only convinced because of the saving I'm making on the usual 6.9% finance.

Did you chat with them in Tesla to see if they have a rough idea on delivery times or when cars might be scheduled to arrive? I know with Tesla things like that can be up in the air but I'd imagine they will have a rough idea if cars are due to arrive in the next two months. If cars aren't arriving soon then with people ordering based on the 0% offer there is potential for a few hundred orders to be cancelled. I don't think the offer would have been run unless they knew some cars were arriving.

Yes I was very clearly told they had absolutely no idea when the next batch were due in or if I would get my order in time to avail of the 0% finance option.

Does delivery count as me taking ownership of the vehicle or just the vehicle arriving in Ireland? If it's just arriving in Ireland I may take a punt on a custom order. Am I right in saying I can cancel my €250 deposit if it looks like the car won't be arriving before march 31st?

For us at the end of Q3 in 2023 we had to take delivery by the end of September to avail of all the discounts and low APR. That meant the car had to be off the Tesla site by the last Friday in September. I asked if we paid in full could we collect the following week but they said no. It needed to be gone and they weren't open on the Saturday in Dublin to collect.

Yes, you can cancel and get a refund for the €250 deposit under EU distance selling legislation. Many here have done so in the past year to avail of inventory discounts.

Oh really? Could you not lock it in the app even?

Just noticed a clunk kind of noise when reversing and turning into the drive yesterday evening, said nothing initally but the missus said it to me this evening that she noticed something doing the same thing today.

I'll have a check in the light tomorrow, has anyone have something similar?

Quick Question anyone, Ive had a few rattles in the Rear of car Model Y LR and ranger has been able to fix at home,

It took a few goes to get to where i am today, Anyway I booked another service request for (Similar Rattle) Rear boot door,

My Present service request was only pushed towards a service center on the item(s) description in the invoice is for works to be completed with the Suspension tasks to be completed followed by a 1 hour test drive by two afterwards for the two items I highlighted in the service request but no mention of the rear boot door.

This will be my first time going to a service Center can this confusion be expressed in person ?, OR Can anyone tell me they have had similar works carried out on their Suspension?, As the invoice is a tad bit pricey - Should this work be carried out under goodwill as car has very low KM's ??
