No legislation in place to allow for fee based ev charge stations which is why ESB still free in the north. blame Stormont

getting there 3 cars inside - showroom lights on 4 model 3 parked outside - all with NI reg. These could be loaners

all depend on where you are going. Dublin to Galway is 130 miles for example. ESB now apply a fee for chargers. - in Northern Ireland they remain free for the time being. only a handful of superchargers in Ireland. One on the Belfast-Dublin motorway, one on the Cork-Dublin route and one more...

you could also use a sharpie and just colour in the chrome?

Part of the problem with using the existing network in Ireland is that is is small and if you turn up at a charger you might well have to wait an hour if a Leaf or Zoe is charging. I did plenty of runs to Dublin in a Leaf only to find the charger at Castlebellingham in use by some local Leaf...

No Superchargers in Northern Ireland at all - talk of one near Lisburn but I think that Castlebellingham covers the Belfast Dublin route adequately enough that it would be better to put one on the Belfast to Derry road - like Glenshane. Better get an ESB card (ecars) as the fast chargers in...

best of luck! I have seen at least 10 different Model 3 in Belfast. Getting quite popular now

Invitation. Offer and acceptance. Under UK consumer la Tesla have entered into a contract with you. It might be different in the US but EU/UK law is pretty clear. Write to Tesla giving them 21 days to perform the contract. If they fail to do so you can buy another vehicle of similar spec and...

What amazes me is that they spend *any* time at all developing pointless fluff like fart mode and games.

create a service appointment mentioning that your car is not updating when connected to WiFi and they will force it to your car - then you can cancel the appointment.

But I compare my car usage to other options like using an ICE car or walking or cycling. There is also the 'green' element of driving electric. Is my electric car cheaper than my previous diesel - no, but the difference is marginal and I value to other benefits such as not polluting my street...

If you have free supercharging does than mean you also get no overstay fees?

Your colour choice is the killer I guess as FSD can be switch on via software. I know someone who ordered from inventory - on 25 Nov - a Blue/White LR AWD and picking up on Friday from Edinburgh. I ordered white/black LR AWD and ordered end Aug and picked up 20 Nov from Edinburgh

don’t bother with the online stuff. Go old school and use the phone. I went with a local broker (Abbey Insurance) and got it all sorted quite quickly. The online computers throw out some crazy numbers A few calls from broker to AXA and it was all sorted.

If it is not updating - do what I did and contact via a service appointment. I think they switch off the updates until delivery and miss a few cars getting reactivated. making the appointment costs you nothing and might kick start the process.

Don't wait. If you have decent WiFi connection it should update. If it has not then create a service appointment on the app (use a long date and select software). I did this at the weekend and I got an email from the service guys in Dublin on Monday morning who told me they had kicked off the...

probably good news. Ireland (north and south on the same network) are doing the same. The investment will be welcome as there is nothing more frustrating than going to a rapid charger on the motorway to find some local using it because it is free.

Which lease Company?

Edinburgh are very good. They called me on Monday to confirm the pickup time etc. I did mention I would be flying but not sure it registered. I would not bother detour for a supercharger - 150 miles of range would get you Cairnryan

In Belfast I have seen 2 red, a grey and 1 white. common as muck now ;-) I did see a totally wrapped car in mat black (de chromed etc) - not for me.

I picked up my car yesterday connected to home WiFi overnight but still on 2019..27.103.566b11d says it is up to date. clearly not? I have tried to force by tapping advanced and holding advanced.

Belfast would be better for us than Glasgow ;-) but I get your point!

I picked up my car from Edinburgh yesterday. Arrived, after my flight, at around 09:30am for an 11am appointment. They said they would get the car out as quickly as they could as I wanted to get the 3:30 ferry from Cairnryan to Belfast. Got a cup of tea, they showed me round the demo car )one on...

I replied to the text and asked for my Reg Number - they gave the same one that my lease broker gave me. I txted them on Sat 26th saying I needed the reg number for booking the ferry and they replied on Mon 28th morning - my planned collection date is 20th Nov so reg number supplied 3 weeks...

Can the PIN to drive be user specific? Then at least the seat will move to my setting when I enter my pin - although I may not be able to get into the seat in the first place!

Always surprised me that they did not make FSD a Pay as you Go option. I am leasing my car so no chance I would pay full whack for FSD - bu tI might like to switch it on and off on a monthly basis. I guess that most people would switch it off !

So carry a thermos of warm water on your person just in case!

I am trying to shift my car before I pick up the M3 on lease. no trade in with Tesla so going to all the usual suspects. CarBuyingGroup offered me £1k less than online after they took some more details. I just laughed at him and told him no way. He phoned back after 'speaking to the team' and...

I had a friend who had to do a bit of IT work at the local radio station a good few years ago. When he realised that all the songs were ripped to their network he nipped out and bought a few portable drives ;-) Still not sure I listen to enough music to bother - will probably just stick to...

I got my reg number from both the lease company and also by txt from Tesla Picking up Wed 20th in Edinburgh

Good luck BelfastEV As for insurance try Abbey. Their quote was similar to direct line and LV. About the same price for me as currently

Yes And BelfastEV is ahead of me by a few days I think.

I ordered mid Aug Got a SC VIN allocated when Grand Dahlias was in Panama Canal At that time the lease company indicated 6th Nov delivery which then slipped to 11th Nov and they also told me my reg number I then got a delivery txt from Tesla offering 20th Nov which I accepted. Tesla also txted...

I got my reg from Tesla by txt message as I said I needed it for ferry booking on 20th Nov Stena allow you to book with reg as TBA

I still am scheduled for delivery in Edinburgh on 20th Nov - seems a long way off. Tesla also txted me my reg number

I am not booking my flight or ferry just yet I have a delivery date on the Tesla page of 20th November - I find it hard to believe it will take 3 weeks to get the car ready for delivery in Edinburgh. My lease company originally had 6th Nov which as revised to 11th Nov - it certainly could...

the key requirement was to have the cars arrive in the UK prior to 31st Oct. to avoid duty on car imports if a No Deal BREXIT. Although I would have thought that the cost of another port call would be significantly greater than putting the UK cars on car transporters between 26th and 31st Oct...

I just got a delivery appointment txt for Wed 20th Nov in Edinburgh I got the VIN allocated when GRAND DAHLIA was in the Panama Canal. Surprised that it would take until 20th to get to Edinburgh so don’t think I will book my flight and ferry just yet. My existing car insurance expires on 15th...

She will then go to Southampton after Zeebrugge not sure if that is to discharge more vessels or pick ups

I am in Belfast also and will pick up from Edinburgh Mine is a lease car The info on the lease company customers portal has a delivery date of 6 Nov and even has a Veh Reg (not yet on DVLA) You might want to give Edinburgh a ring and see if the date is what they think also I have not received a...

My lease company (Select Car Leasing) customer page now shows my VIN (same as my SC VIN) along with a provisional delivery date of 4th Nov and also showing a Veh Reg ( although not live on DVLA site)

I saw a matt black wrapped Model 3 on Cromac Street last week. de chromed.

Good news! I suspect that Grand Dahlia has late Aug and Early July orders plus some May/Jun orders for Ireland.

My SC VIN has now reappeared no logic in any of it so I await the call before I even think about this car

Possibly - my SC VIN was there yesterday but gone today and I am leasing through SelectCarLeasing (ultimately LeasePlan UK) no VIN or updated delivery details on either LeasePlan or SelectCar customer portals.

My SC VIN was there yesterday but gone today. Edinburgh pickup.

My VIN from yesterday has now disappeared

I got one in my source code also. I guess on the Gran Dahlia. I am picking up in Edinburgh so likely early NOV, although they might just make it in OCT.

Grand Dahlia ETA Zeebrugge is 26/10/19 06:00

100 sounds too little for UK market It could be that those 100 are for the Irish market which have received none so far.
