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

I wouldn't take anything a Tesla rep says as gospel - they all tell you different things depending on who you talk to

Got my Model Y delivery date for next Tuesday, email just came in.

Great! When did you place your order and which model did you choose? It appears that there's a significant number of orders for the Standard range models, and many of us haven't been provided with a delivery date yet.

Also got collection date for next Tuesday. Model Y LR custom order ordered first of Feb

Nothing is really a “custom” order with Tesla. They just put a selection of cars on a ship in China, send it to Europe and allocate from there.

Malacca Highway is due into Dublin port on the 27th Feb at 23:58 from Zeebrugge hopefully the next batch is on her.

Between the revenue issue (was that only M3H?) and the incoming M3H in general, is the consensus that we should expect a heap of second hand EVs (maybe a chunk of M3?) to be hitting the second hand market in the next couple of weeks?

Sweedan has been driving on teh left since 1967. Zero chance of Tesla cars for Ireland following that route

Could have sworn one of the Nordic countries were rhd…

regardless there’s a ship currently docked that should have Irish cars on it and one off the west coast of Africa on its way. There’s one due in Southampton as well and there’s mention on the U.K. forum that they sometimes offload U.K. cars there then head to zeebruge with eu and some Irish cars

Would they already be in inventory or can we expect an inventory update on Tuesday/ Wednesday once they arrive in the country?

The Model Y deliveries I find confusing. Tesla delivered 1,524 Model Ys in Ireland in the first half of 2023. World's most popular car. I expected there to be a very large backlog here accordingly. Yet cars ordered this month are being collected this month. Granted some inventory cars come up from cancellations, so perhaps it's a case that there are 500+ being delivered on custom orders and the lucky few like Wayneenterprise win the inventory ones? I'm getting a M3 so more curious than impacted. Any thoughts?

When do tesla give you reg number? They made contact to collect tomorrow but nothing since and no reg so we can get insurance sorted...

Mine is a custom order. It all just depends on colour and spec and if there is one that matches on the way

Again I think it’s down to the fact that “custom orders” are not built to order like other manufacturers. Tesla simply produce a number of cars in each colour, seat colour, tow bar, range combo. They will obviously have some idea which variants are the most popular. Then they throw some on a ship and match them to orders from there.
