🤣 Was apt alright a tail of the blues, best of luck with yours and hope delivery goes smoothly will keep an eye out for you in Galway!

Funny thing is not even sure if I was assigned a VIN got the following "I just wanted to reach out to you as we are expecting to assign a VIN to your order for a February/March collection as an estimate." After I replied went to my account and my RN was wiped. Looks like wouldn't even commit...

Feb/March I didn't get to confirming a date as I went off on a final email rant 🤣

Nope I got sod all and pretty much all communication was one way (from me)! Had to wait 6 months to be allocated a blue SR.

Finally was assigned a Vin after ordering an M3 last August. Politely told them no thanks now and any chance of my deposit back having to wait 6 months instead of 6 weeks. No joy, not like their short a few bucks. Deffo won't be a future customer either 😂

After close to a 5 month wait post Tesla order I'll be picking up my car on Friday..... The issue is it won't be a Tesla. Anyone wanna buy 5 month old RN number 😜 not cancelling it as they won't return my deposit, so they can do what they want with it.

Yes but there has been recent upgrades to the port for large ships. From what I understand they will move shipping to cork city to here and the city port is due to be developed/sold. No doubt Brexit driven too better connections to France. But yes thats my point paltry 800+ cars a year to...

Hopefully Tesla start using Ringaskiddy as destination port directly for Ireland in the future would make sea logistics easier as Dublin is too awkward. https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-40769529.html Hyundai looks to have another on-route in Jan too so may end up using it again...

I'll post this in the 2022 as technically even thought my order was in August 2021 the "potential" delivery is in March. Irish Tesla numbers are in from stats.beepbeep.ie and make interesting reading. 878 cars M3's registered in 2021 compared to 724 in 2021 an increase of 18.5%. In that time...

Irish Tesla numbers are in from stats.beepbeep.ie and make interesting reading. 878 cars M3's registered in 2021 compared to 724 in 2021 an increase of 18.5%. In that time the overall EV market has jumped 115% with 8646 EV registered in 2021 compared to 4013 in 2020. This shows there is a...

El bandito???

Time to change the wife 😜

Have a read back through the forum and see, I've bought a fair few cars in my time from different OEM never had anything like this. I was open to the online approach. But been served up false promises and lies. When a company has an unsatisfied customer the majority will try to do something...

Also stop tagging my posts (I get a notification) and I'll stay away 🤗

I like the car don't like the company the way they mess people around.. technically I still have a valid RN number pending delivery, unless this forum is a dictatorship?

Yeah that the exec plus I think (lowest spec), bit of a difference between that and the premium plus (all leather, different lights and exterior spec (different led light front, tear and also on the grill) as well as full length vision roof). Also yes the Tesla is sportier looking and who knows...

Yeah you'll see a few more in Jan that's when the first bulk orders are arriving to u.k and Ireland.

I have a RN number from August will you take that for her 🤔

Looks like he'll have 12 points on the licence in no time.... I'm built for pleasure not speed 😝. @Paule you do know HKM have a premium line too right called Genesis. They all share the same ev platform and Kia and Hyundai top spec have most of the Genesis extras. Very similar to what VW do with...

You swapping the wife for a car.... Is she good looking 😉

I'm confused too I thought this was all part of the "premium" experience, trust the dice 😜

Unique selling point/proposition

So the USP now is cheaper charging. That fine for me being non-tesla. As supercharging would be the exception charger at home and at work . USP went from free charging (removed), to Tesla only (on the way out), to less expensive for Tesla. Seeing a trend here?

That will be gone soon trialing opening up in Netherlands and now Scandinavia to other EV's. Always part of Mr. Musk's long term plan.. and makes Business sense also big money spinner potentially.

Yes I have and I was waiting 4 months for a VW ID4 as bad as that was it was nothing like this BS and I got my full deposit back. Give us an idea of the crap because I've also been a premium ICE customer and not see that level of lack of respect for a customer. You just a number for Tesla (a...

Normally throwing a 7 is good in dice games... But throwing a 7 month wait in Cars is not! What you describe there in "rolling dice" is not what I'd class as a premium cars premium experience.

Just a bit of additional background I did my masters in quality in customer service and customer segmentation. Also Worked in SW and with an automotive supplier for close to 10 year so I know the market and also worked as a supplier to Hyundai so know their standards. Tesla beta approach is...

Sorry that's a lie, all q4 shipments are complete so don't know where their Jan cars are coming from. Next shipments will be starting in Feb check with Mr M thread

Tesla have a lot of positives in tech focus and building their name and being first mover. Savy Business planning and don't be fooled on how close Mr. Musk came to the wire as a start up. The energy crisis in UK also has helped as well as brexit (cars built in Europe are more expensive). Added...

Aboy the El bandito kidddddd! Delighted for you happy motoring. If you get caught out on range give me a shout I'll charge you up with my V2L 😜

@Paule Thats the exec ur thinking of, premium plus is more high end interior and spec only being delivered in Jan. Also apparently the Irish spec is better than the UK spec has full vision roof that makes a nice change 🤣, but I think the UK spec is being upgraded too. I work in quality and for...

Delivery team told me zebrugge when I asked them a few months back. But who could believe anything from that shower!!

Congrats, I'll send ye some pics when I pick up my Ioniq 5 in Jan 😁. I'm done with Tesla now, happy motoring all.

Congrats all round ;) Wish you happy driving and good health.

After a 4 month wait I finally got a Vin number.... the issue is it's an Ioniq5 Vin number ordered Premium plus 3 days ago :D I'll keep my tesla order open incase anything happens but also maybe will help Irish owners keep a car en-route and cancel it in Feb. If I cancel now might go back on...

There you go I gave you another like 😜

Yeah Automotive tech geek too so that's why I went for the Tesla. Went Black Premium, to be honest too Ioniq 5 is a bit more practical for a young family, I was have a telsa mid life crisis ;)

51 posts and 15 likes I'd say you could do with blocking too 🤣

So long folks I put down an order for Ioniq 5 today (Vin assigned) for Jan delivery, in hindsight I should have put the order for both in August. I tried to push for a guaranteed delivery in Feb and couldn't get it and to be honest with all the messing around that's gone on I don't trust the...

Bunch of LR's also gone on Irish inventory no SR+

You have a point as apparently because of going to Zebrugge after Southampton majority of the RND are offloaded to make unloading easier further on. So yes we get screwed on the logistics side of things.

Can anyone beat 28th august order and no Vin, I've gone through the 5 stages of grief at this stage "denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance". Now I just laugh at the cluster #$& this whole process is 😂

Looking at the UK deliveries you'll have before Christmas. I doubt there'll be pickups in late Dec or Jan.

They should have it in birdhill in Tipperary and make use of the superchargers

By the sounds of the no. Of cars they got this quarter they could have used a Tesco express car park!

Even if shes wrong she's still right... Remember that😜

Your not the man I thought you were.... Obviously just a chancer you don't deserve "El bandito" tag anymore 🤣

No I say it's good especially with the spec you ordered. When Ford built the Model T you could get any color you wanted as long as it's black. Seems to be the same with Tesla and white.... Stray away from that spec and you'll be waiting. Looks like they build massive batches of white cars.

Your definitely from limerick 😂

Was the the blue LR was half thinking about breaking the bank for that 😁 congrats
