Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

prior to last week there was circa a dozen or so. can't imagine they were all sold.

What are people's thoughts on the extended warranty?

I only have ~3,000km left on the general warranty for my 2022 RWD model 3.

I've had a few jobs done under the warranty, but €2,941 seems pretty steep for an extra 80,000km that I'll blow through in about two years. 😅

I'll be in the same boat soon on our '21. The only job I had done under warranty was a one leaky rear light and everything has been fine since 2022 so I'm happy enough to rely on the drivetrain warranty only.

By the sound of it your car was built by the trainee interns ;-) Based on this list I would not go forking out money for the warranty. If the steering wheel bubbles again it's just an excuse to get it clad with real leather.

Friday afternoon car perhaps.

3K for an extended warranty for non-drivetrain or battery advantage sounds a bit rich tbh.

Been searching a bit but said I’d ask for people’s experiences, particularly recent.

Im contemplating a new Model 3 (trying to decide between SR and LR - for a long commute but both should comfortably do the trip). Called into their place at the weekend and they don’t have my preferred colour/interior combo on the ground or in transit (white/black leather/19 inch alloys). When I go to the website to order it does show a LR in that combo due April-May however.

I suppose I’m just wondering if it would be foolish to order on the website in the hope of an earlier delivery over what their dealer is telling me.

Thanks. In that case I’ll take a punt on ordering from the website. I was shown what was on the boat at the dealer and it meant a white interior (nice, but not for me) or a different colour which is fine but for 2k I’m happy with a white one.

Haha - I’ve used the link so far and will do with the order. Just need to decide if I want the poke/sound system really.

for what it’s worth, I went for the SR+ instead of the LR and regret not having the better sound system. If I were ordering new today it’d be a no brainer.

What kind of driving and how much charge does the car take from 0 to 100%?

300km sounds like a valid range at a motorway run at real speeds of 120 km/h in current weather. In that case the car would go from 100→10% and would take about 50 kWh to charge back to 100. This would be a a consumption of 167 Wh/km. Probably similar enough for multiple short distance runs in the suburbia as well, where the car would have to be repeatedly heated up.

In summer conditions the consumption will then be considerably lower.

interesting video. its 310km from my home to park west dublin and back to ballacolla. according to the video the car wouldn't have enough juice to make it requiring a stop at junction 14 instead. not great but i guess that only applies to the days when the weather is crap, it might do it handily enough in mild weather.

Only around 170km of the total trip would have been on 120km M11. Since he did he return leg at 100, then he only did 85km at 120, the rest at 100. If he'd kept it to 115 on the way down, he probably would have been able to return at 110 maybe even 115.
