The whole European automotive market was weak in March (except for hybrid-electrics). The drop in sales is not necessarily due to "EV weakness." New car registrations: -5.2% in March 2024; battery electric 13% market share "In March 2024, battery-electric car registrations declined by 11.3% to...

In France, the deliveries increased 119% YOY (from today's newsletter of France's Tesla Owners Club by author Bertrand Moreau). According to the author, Tesla sold more cars in France in 2023 than Ford, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes or Audi. More details and data here

It's a 2023 Plaid (it has the larger back screen because of the smaller bezel) and I have the 22oz and 14oz travel mugs. Both fit into the cupholders. The 14oz is slightly smaller in diameter, therefore the 22oz is more of a snug fit.

Strange, it fits my Model S Plaid perfectly.

Not at all, please go ahead... happy that you like it ✨ Alternatively you could retweet Plaid delivery

I took delivery yesterday, and could not be happier, what an incredible car! It came on the first ship but only found a place on a transporter on Dec 22. The delivery center is Montpellier/France.

OT I wanted to thank this forum and its members for sharing your insights, models, and thoughts from which I've learned so much over the past five years. Today I took delivery of my long-awaited Model S Plaid in the South of France and it has been an amazing day. Even though my portfolio is...

According to the delivery center my S Plaid is still at Zeebrugge (it arrived on the first Höegh on Dec 5). I’ve had the registration papers (French Carte Grise) since the end of November. A delivery before Christmas seems unlikely.

Thanks so much, it’s a P!

How can I check if my VIN is a 2023 model year Plaid? TIA.

@Just a Reader Not sure what you are disagreeing with? Is it that I am female, or that I am looking forward to the delivery of my Model S Plaid? Or is it that I proved @trayloader 's reasoning wrong (who claimed that "ALL female customers do not want to see this behavior" from Elon?)

Not sure why you think you are an expert on female opinion. I’m female and can’t wait for the delivery of my Plaid S this December. Adding my thumbs down to your post.

I received my VIN two days ago, order details here My S is on the Höegh Transporter.

RN115xxxxxx Model S Plaid Midnight Silver/white interior 21" Arachnid wheels FSD Ordered 23/05/2021 Final invoice (#1): 09/11/2022 - estimated delivery date Dec 2 Received VIN and registration plate details: 22/11/2022 Final invoice (#7) - estimated delivery date Dec 9, 2022 Country: France

I like the pretty red color ❤️ and why not give something back to TSLA🥂

So what? Trusting Elon has worked for me so far, so that’s what I am planning to do in the future, too.

In the order page, they've been removed: Configurez votre Model S | Tesla

No more red caliper brakes for Model S/X Plaid, they now seem only available for the Performance 3/Y. For me, that's a bummer but will still convert my Plaid+ order to a Plaid. Hope most others will too.

@Lycanthrope could you please, please consider changing your Avatar pic.

Inventory in France: 0 Model S 5 Model X

Weren't these pre-split? Although 4.4k would warrant a happy goose dance, too! :)

I have never been interested in cars, tech, or finance. However, in 2017 a friend showed me the Model 3 presentation video and I was blown away… I remember thinking “Wow, finally a CEO who is a good guy and wants to make the world a better place!” Elon’s sincerity, dedication, and determination...

While I was browsing the internet for range cookers yesterday, a Cybertruck ad popped up in the article I was reading. It featured mainly footage from the reveal (including Franz smashing the windows) and had an additional voice-over. I don't think I can recall anyone mentioning Tesla pop up ads...

This is not the case in France, businesses can’t claim VAT back on company cars (same rule applies to hotels, airfares etc). So it’s a huge deal for French businesses.

Lets not forget the Roadster: U R 2 S3XY

Just WOW.

The Standard Plus is now available in France:

Perhaps because no one mentioned it at the time, nor anytime soon after.

My Model 3 was scheduled as a February delivery. First, it was postponed to March, and then to Q2. Delivery took place on April 3.

Can confirm. The delivery of my LR3 was scheduled for Wednesday this week and then got re-scheduled for tomorrow (March 30). Just got a phone call from my delivery center cancelling the appointment: apparently the car is still at Zeebrugge. No new date given yet.

Same here! Hope you can re-schedule for an earlier date :)

Current inventory in France: • Used: 3 Model S + 1 Model X • New: 2 Model X :D

I actually liked that the unveil was understated, and while I'm personally not a SUV/CUV fan, I imagine the Model Y will sell extremely well. To me, the most puzzling thing about the presentation was the dirty stage and tires/absence of good lighting, which didn't help the car to look its best.

I couldn’t agree more.

Except that my service centre handles calmy delivery truck after delivery truck :D

This makes total sense and mirrors the delivery pattern in the US. However, my location is one of the furthest from Zeebrugge (South of France), and since Tesla owners apparently have priority, I thought my car (a fairly standard M3LR/Dual Motor/midnight grey/black interior/19"wheels) would...

Received a pro-active message from Tesla this afternoon: Good news for you ; your autopilot will include the "Full Self Driving" at no additional cost (Features : Autosteer, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control + Navigate on Autopilot, Summon, Auto Lane Change, Autopark and Full Self-Driving features...

Maybe they lower the price to the current ones minus the non-refundable deposits (1000 EUR on reservation + 2000 EUR on ordering). This way they avoid having people cancelling their orders for re-orders, and yet they don't have to go the whole way. I am actually a little bit surprised that I...

The timing is very frustrating, really sorry to hear. Hope you enjoy your fabulous new car to the fullest, regardless. :)

The price for a M3 LRD in France has come down 5300 EUR. I placed an order in December, but haven't received a final invoice/VIN/delivery date yet. It will be interesting to see the amount on the final invoice. (Prices include VAT @ 20% and a 6000 EUR Eco bonus) Order agreement...

I imagine the same as if you'd try to return a shirt with spaghetti sauce all over it.

Haha..no way!

23h00 Amsterdam/Paris time zone

Another 14 hours to go... Pick-up news? Autonomous charging?

I volunteered when I visited my Service Centre last week, but they said they were all prepared and good. We only have five SC in France, and the others are too far away from us.

My local service centre (Aix-en-Provence) has always doubled as delivery centre, not sure if it's the same in the rest of Europe.

I'd imagine the service centres would hire extra staff to cope with Model3 preparations?

In my view, most European buyers would have no idea about the existence of the chart. The Aix-en-Provence service centre received 40 M3 in the last two days and are expecting a steady stream of delivery trucks to come...they sounded proud, happy and excited! The first M3s arrived in the South...
