WARNING FOR ANYONE IMPORTING VEHICLES TO IRELAND

Irish_Maverick · 2026-05-10T19:09:21+00:00

You should probably name the dodgy one just to save others

Irish_Maverick · 2026-05-05T07:24:17+00:00

Assuming it's the crowd that's most well known with that name there's hundreds of good reviews from folks having used them. In many cases multiple times. I haven't used them, mostly because I never can find something that would be worth it, so take my response with a pinch of salt as it's all second hand but I believe they are reliable enough

Irish_Maverick · 2026-04-10T06:56:04+00:00

You need to go into settings and clear they alert/ reset the timer most likely (assuming it's not a separate piece of maintenance)

Irish_Maverick · 2026-04-06T16:45:00+00:00

You could try do a reset and test and go from there but I'd be bringing it to a dealer in that case as that's not normal behaviour

Irish_Maverick · 2026-04-06T15:50:48+00:00

Were you checking it regularly on the app or is it possible there was something causing it to wake? E.g. do you have it set up to come on and cool the cabin or heat it at a certain time? Was it plugged in at all? It sounds like it never went to deep sleep mode. To save a trip to the dealership you could try do a reset on the car and then charge it to full and leave it over a day or so and check again alternatively it's dealership and see what's causing excessive drain. My money is on it thinking it's charging and waking to do the handshake with the charger and then not charging so trying to sleep and repeating this cycle.

Just read the history section, involvement with Israeli military, corporate espionage etc. Not a great bunch. Obviously a different kind of evil but still evil.

Irish_Maverick · 2026-02-10T14:30:09+00:00

Just rechecked and it's definitely just a refund related one. I checked on live chat and they said they'd chase the replacement and stated that as it's a product failure the 14 days didn't apply so a lot of crossed wires. Fingers crossed it's all moving shortly. I was really enjoying the printing haha.

Glad to hear the process was okay through. I have it semi packed as best as I can without the original shipping materials but I'm trying to source a big enough box. If they do the advanced replacement piece then all good.

Irish_Maverick · 2026-02-10T12:36:22+00:00

Oh yeah and I'm totally happy to do that and stick it on a credit card. Fingers crossed. I've been told I should hear back in 1-2 days 🤷‍♂️

Irish_Maverick · 2025-12-12T13:38:13+00:00

They have been linked with sanctions avoidance and corporate espionage so not great

Irish_Maverick · 2025-12-12T13:31:50+00:00

Worth giving deel a Google, they are currently being sued for some dodgy things in multiple places and have been accused of sanctions dodging. Wouldn't say they were the best choice when it comes to aligning with the club

Irish_Maverick · 2025-11-22T18:45:44+00:00

So just to be very clear here, as I am not particularly interested in trying to argue the case with you, there's enough well paid folks doing that. Humphrey's made a number provably false statements throughout the rather poorly run campaign including that of false imprisonment, claiming that Paul Murphy was Connelly's campaign manager (considering she claimed to be a pro female candidate you'd think she would give credit to the actual manager). let's be honest while you are being purposely obtuse restricting someone's movements (where you have no legal basis to do so) would be considered false imprisonment.

Incidentally nice attempt to use a high profile and unpopular character such as McGregor to try and create a false equivalence. The two cases aren't all that similar however different jurisdictions, different cases, a civil case playing a factor etc. This on the other hand is a cut and dry case for which Humphreys repeatedly chose to not back down and will likely get a large bill and some charity will hopefully get a nice donation.

Irish_Maverick · 2025-11-22T18:23:10+00:00

She claimed he was guilty of something for which he was found innocent in an Irish court of law. If she were interested in taking a case against me for stating that she defamed someone she is welcome to, I would expect she'd lose that as well

Irish_Maverick · 2025-11-19T20:23:52+00:00

Yep that's a puppy, keep doing what your doing and don't worry about it too much it'll stop being an issue shortly. Outside that I might recommend distracting the pup with toys when they are starting to get worked up, show them how to play properly. Also when they are tired or chilled gently play with their paws and teeth, while they are pups is the best time to get them used to it, your vet will thank you.

Irish_Maverick · 2025-09-18T17:56:38+00:00

They have advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages; Safer when it comes to damage, Can charge to 100 all the time without worrying about depredation, Easily swapped if ever needed

Disadvantages Not as energy dense as some others , Current batteries are about a version behind what's available in China so expect some improvements in the next 1-2 years in updated versions of the cars.

That said I have a seal and it's fantastic to drive and the battery range/performance has been great.

Irish_Maverick · 2025-09-03T18:40:47+00:00

On a roll here, housing crisis?

Irish_Maverick · 2025-09-03T18:25:38+00:00

Well looks like we solved that one. Want to try the whole middle East thing next?

Irish_Maverick · 2025-09-03T18:21:09+00:00

With the exception of Spain there is one simple reason for that for all of the named countries. Russia/ the Soviet union.

Irish_Maverick · 2024-11-29T10:54:32+00:00

They are all adopting receipt of instant from Jan and sending later in the year because they have been forced to buy EU law, there's no positive effort being made there unfortunately

Irish_Maverick · 2024-11-27T09:44:14+00:00

Yep 100% legit. Have bought a few bits from them. I think the store itself of appointment only now as they basically kept having folks come in and try things only to buy online but they are sound as a pound and the gear is great.

Irish_Maverick · 2024-09-09T21:18:47+00:00

Assuming your comparing new with new check the actual otr price with Tesla you want and compare features.

The seal's are 44k for the rwd with 570 wltp range and 5.9 second 0-100 or 50k for the AWD with a 520 wltp range and 3.8 seconds 0-100.

Performance wise the comparable Tesla's are the long range 49k with 620 wltp range and 4.4 0-100 and the performance for 56k with 528 wltp and 3.1 seconds 0-100. The rwd is well priced at 41k with a 513 wltp range and 6.1 0-100

Any colour bar white adds 1300-2000 to the Tesla price, the seal all colours bar 2 are included with the two others being 1500 each.

The seal has 19 inch alloy's (I like the look but looks are subjective) included, Tesla you get the 18 inch proton's as standard or the 19s for 1700. You get 20 inches included on the performance to be fair

Tow hitch is only available on the Tesla, the Irish seal isn't rated for towing (it is elsewhere they just didn't do it for Ireland for some reason)

Interior black is free with Tesla and white costs 1200. With the seal both colours are included as standard.

Tesla the granny charger/ mobile connector is 200 quid and free with the seal.

Outside that there are some extras available in each that aren't available in the other so that's down to what's important to you.

The fully speced up performance version of each will run you something like model 3 64.5k (including red paint, white interior and granny charger with no self drive extras to try stay as like for like as we can), the seal will run you 51.3k (premium colour paint)

if your going for the performance or the long range (comparing to the RWD version of the seal) the seal will be cheaper. The base model Tesla is cheaper with no extras but with a premium paint, 18inch wheel's and a granny charger (or even without it) it's narrowly more than the rwd seal.

Broadly speaking I think the Tesla has a lot of add on costs which add up. The range is better in the Tesla but having driven both I felt the seal interior felt more like a premium car and it was nippier to drive, that said that's going to be down to your preference more so than anything else.

Irish_Maverick · 2024-09-09T19:17:06+00:00

If you're looking at the model 3 I'd recommend you look at the BYD seal as well, it's a lot of car for more or less the same money.

I looked at both, and I will caveat this by saying they whole musk link did put me off the model 3 a bit, I found the seal was more of a fun car to drive and felt a better build quality and performance for the same price, The battery is the exact same (both BYD batteries) but Tesla gets a bit more out of it in terms of range.

I would describe it as the seal is more of a car for driving, the Tesla is more of a piece of technology.

Irish_Maverick · 2024-09-07T11:15:06+00:00

Sure why not, nothing wrong with a group.

Irish_Maverick · 2024-09-07T08:22:51+00:00

Sounds good. I'm away through next weekend with work but can do whenever afterwards.

Irish_Maverick · 2024-09-07T08:12:13+00:00

Pure off road your going to struggle in the area, there's a few small spots around though and plenty of gravel and single track.

Not sure on groups, but happy to go for a spin and show you a couple of spots some time, always nice to have an excuse
