    Irish Delivery and Collection 2024

    If you cant make it to Enfield you can go to Ionity in Kill (10 mins drive) and put some charge in, and then fill up at Enfield. You may have enough to get to Enfield in which case go straight. You can just enter your final destination in the navigation of the car and it will tell you if you...

    Irish Delivery and Collection 2024

    For all who are stressing about Taxing car once you get the reg plates, it takes a day or two before details appear on Motor Tax site. This has NO IMPACT on your delivery experience so try to be patient.

    Irish Delivery and Collection 2024

    So many people are speculating and reaching conclusions that that are not based in fact. For previous deliveries Tesla team (more than 1 !!!) can manage up to 40 a day and stagger the collection times. Just bring along your ID and sign for the car and you get get as much time as your want...

    Irish Delivery and Collection 2024

    Thames Highway is a regularship on the route Zeebrugge to Dublin. A big consignment of Teslas came on that ship to Dublin in the last week of January and are in Dublin and Cork awaiting delivery (once Tesla get what they need from Revenue). Tracking Thames Highway's current route wont help...

    2023 Shipping Movements

    Vins have not been assigned (or hidden vin not yet discoverable) yet for any Irish deliveries ...later than has been the usual pattern. Unfortunately there is nobody who can let you know when you will get your VIN although local guys in Tesla expect notifications to go out shortly (they always...

    Its usually around 3 weeks before delivery which is about 2 weeks into ships journey..this may well be Suez but its likely to be more timing related than geography

    All cars for Ireland have been routed through Zeebrugge for the last year. I suspect being part of EU is likely to feature otherwise logistics/geography/RHD would suggest that Ireland would have been fulfilled through Southhampton but that hasn't been the case . Either way there are ships...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Does anyone know when the new features of the Model Y 2023 model will feature (Comfort Suspension, Matrix Headlights, Enhanced 5M Cameras, Structural Battery, 4680 cells?). For cars currently produced in China are any of these features incorporated/ My instinct is that it will cause a bit of a...

    2023 Shipping Movements

    Welcome to the world of Tesla ..try not to get disappointed by this. Tesla will only usually confirm a delivery 2 to 3 weeks before delivery date by which time the car is on the high seas. You can usually discover a VIN allocation well in advance of any notification from. Tesla. Use the...

    I had a call from as sales representative at Tesla today...

    Tesla has today doubled the incentives available in the US for Model 3 and Model Y deliveries before year end to USD7,500 for those prepared totake delivery between now and year end. Maybe other markets will follow?

    Advice is simple. 1.Call Tesla and let them know your circumstances, in the hopes that your car may arrive before you are away (not sure how far or how inconvenient it would be to return to collect. 2 It is usual to be given a certain limited period to collect. 3. What is not reasonable to...

    hidden vin usually appears when cars have started journey to Europe (4 weeks shipping). you can expect notification from Tesla about 2weeks prior to delivery date. thats usually how it works +/- a few days either way. If you have discovered a vin try to relax...car is on the way

    Its terminology that Tesla use when they can see a car is provisionally assigned to a specific order (most likely also when the hidden VIN gets added to source code on your Tesla online account). In case you are unsure how to check for Hidden Vin try downloading this specific app its a user...

    UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

    Tesla usually send SMS with delivery appointment times available, that cluster around a 2 to 3 day period. I suspect this is a batch process so the sooner you respond (click a link) the more options you have, otherwise you select from slots available. These texts usually issue around 2 weeks...

    It's a conscious decision by Tesla ...they will only officially advise VIN about a week ahead of a confirmed delivery appointment at which stage there is maximum certainty..its unlikely to be related to any technical issue in passing data to its website . I have some sympathy (others may...

    Pricing of Model Y RWD is now identical to Model 3 RWD in Ireland. Can you believe it? It also qualifies for 5k government grant. So the difference between Model Y RWD (52.9k) and Model YLR (74.4K) is 21.K. ..seems crazy

    September 2022 European Model 3 RWD Delivered cars have a 7.5kwh buffer instead of 2.5kwh, Reducing the 100% - 0% range by 10% over previous 22 cars

    Points on rigidly following the testing (to replicate in as much as possible the WLTP laboratory type testing regime) are well made. It does seem (in my opinion) that Tesla have chosen to adopt a prudent approach to the size of the buffer, for a variety of reasons, not least that for accurate...

    Thats nonsense.the guy is telling you that through the leasing company he can get the same spec car as the one he ordered through the same leasing company if he pays the higher price i.e. a new order will be fulfilled before his one . I can see his point. If it were a canceled car one would...

    The point he was making was its for the "same spec" car....just one ordered earlier before price increase is being fulfilled later than one ordered after price increase...both cars are similar. My instinct was to think this related to the Leasing Company but from what he says Leasing Company...

    All will go well ..its about managing expectations. Having to cope with large volumes of deliveries compressed over a few weeks each quarter means the collection sites are set up as temporary structures and in my opinion (having collected 2 Tesla's) they do a good job. I am sure his BMW...

    Something seems amiss with this. You should follow up with Laase Company. The Tesla RN is no more than an acknowledgement of an order. See details in my sig of dates etc . I ordered after you (first in January and then again in June) and have received two cars.

    Hard to argue with that however, when i collected mine in March it was perfect. It just doesn't have the showroom shine...but thats the Tesla model where they are challenged to deal with high volumes of deliveries over a truncated time period..

    Try not to stress you wont be at a disadvantage..most issues (if there are any) are resolved not on site at delivery but by way of service call (booked on the App very easily) where for smaller jobs a Tesla Ranger calls or anything bigger an appointment at service centre
