Irish Delivery and Collection 2024
- Thread starter David Foley
- Start date
The Order Agreement says to take delivery within 7 days of the “Ready Date” so there should be some room. Especially given all the delays on their side with getting the cars registeredno accommodation on change of collection dates or timesthis Tesla journey has been A1 so far

If that's the case, then it's not possible for those of us collecting Thursday to tax the car prior to pickup, especially when we don't have reg plate yet?
I had an ordeal with insurance today. But all sorted now.
Motor tax and insurance all done now thankfully. Roll on tomorrow at 11!
Has anyone uploaded insurance documents via the website? Is that step necessary? It's been marked as done a few weeks ago when I made payment but I can still upload.

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.

Currently on the phone to Tesla asking about my registration...... Wish me luck.......
EDIT 1: So I got through to Rachel. Told her I don't have reg plate yet and I need to transfer over insurance soon. She checked my account and said that I have: "registration authorisation, but not sure why I didn't have it yet". So she put me on hold only for a couple of minutes to talk to someone and came back saying there have been issues in the background, but it's in the process of being sorted and I'll have my registration sent to me this afternoon by text.
Hopefully that's the case. I'll keep ye in the loop.
EDIT 2: Well I just got a text, but a generic one telling me to download the app and confirming my collection date. No reg plate in it though.

Collected, white M3H LR. Had 13%/14% battery and 11km on odometer.
Lady in the tent was mentioning something something tote bag passenger seat, but I completely forgot about it and don't remember any tote bags. Maybe I misheard.
The 30 minutes you're given to "check everything" completely scrambled my brain.
You've 3 days or 100km to report anything you notice and can bring it back to be fixed.

Dublin, I just plugged in at home, 32A (7.3/7.4kw) from a Zappi charger as expected... I've set the charge limit for it to 50% because I should test supercharging too - I want to leave room for it.

Wow that's really not much at all is it.
In anticipation of collecting tomorrow with and travelling west, where's the nearest chargers?
(The plan was to make it to Enfield but that could be a push if battery charge is similar).
No mention of free supercharger miles or anything? Not great considering the hold up to hand the car over with so little power.
Currently plugged in for my very first super charger experience. 174kw.
Plenty to go round for those picking up later or tomorrow

Nice one Jimmy. How did you fine the whole collection experience? Did you get much battery in yours?
I see they have the red buckets out for washing them!
There's 150 supercharger km included.
The nearest supercharger is near Dublin Tesla / 92 Bracken Road / 20km away from NVD. It's easy to get to southbound on m50. It's got 4 stalls. It's currently showing 10min wait times (despite a bunch of people getting Teslas today).
You'll get an eircode D24 KH76 which is close enough.
I went to the place indicated by eir code, but turns out it was 50m away across the street at a different parking lot.
My geotag from photos says:
53.295683,-6.439539
But now that I'm looking at it on street view, it must have changed since street view.
Anyway, if you end up at that eir code place, you can ask the security guards, and you might also see a bunch of Teslas through the fencing - that should be a big clue.
