Model 3P resale prices

Ah yes, YouTube. Because if someone had really good service they’d definitely make a video about it

Well you can paint it as you like but my experience is exactly the same as this with Hyundai and this is not even the same area. Seems to be their standard working practice

Next dealership is a fair few miles away and it's not a sample of one as ive come across this on youtube without searching and it's the same inefficient service. Not to mention many dealerships belong to the same group/groups.

Friends have a Hyundai EV (Chichester area) and have no issues with their local dealership...including getting an issue sorted under warranty.

I find it hard to believe Hyundai and Kia service centers are universally bad.

I know people who have had very good and equally bad experiences with Tesla service centres....it's just the way of the world unfortunately.

It might well be but I would be damned to get another around here and my Experieces are exactly the same as the person in that video. It doesn't matter what the cars go in for, it always takes a full day until they call back to collect.

Also, there is not fixed price servicing such as is with the likes of VW and AUDI... It's just varies depending on what dealership you select on Hyundai's website and this is also not made clear. What they all have in common is trying to upsell stuff as they all like to do inspections around the car other than what it's actually gone in for!

Yep, that's doesn't surprise me at all.

My son's SEAT Ibiza Cupra (ICE) went in to a franchised dealership near us for something fairy minor.

They did a 'complimentary health check' (good of them!) whilst they had the car - sent a video announcing that it needed new disks and pads on the front, and was overdue a cambelt change.

I took it to our local trusted independent to get the disks and pads done....they called to say they were all good for at least another 10k miles!

And the cambelt? The valve timing is chain driven!

The service manager got quite huffy on the phone regarding my scathing Trustpilot review. Claimed they wouldn't have said those things.

I emailed him the Health Check video.

Oddly we didn't hear back from him.

Enough to make the blood boil... They called my daughter earlier after having the car for 3 hours and said she needed a new 12v battery and never said anything about the damn door handle!

Yep, they can certainly try ones patience....and a lot of (especially younger / less experienced) folk will tell them to carry on.

I know we are wandering off topic here but just as a follow up she's just gone to collect the car and has been told the car has been isolated and deemed unsafe to drive due the the high voltage battery not charging.... still no mention of the handle!!

These Ionics are not like our teslas and my guess is that they did not put it in start mode, draining the the 12v battery down and now unable to activate the high voltage contactor but that is just me having a guess.

Yes, that is all sorts of rubbish.

Hope it is all sorted out soon with a minimum of fuss and expense.

Its like going to hospital with a broken leg and ending up with open heart surgery

And why I avoid hospitals (and car stealerships) whenever possible ...

Cars last more than 3 years, heck they last beyond 10 years. I see cars that are 20 years old, I’m seeing Porsche 996, BMW M3 E46, E55 AMGs and I’m thinking they would be lovely to own for a few years, maybe as a keeper. And here we all are, stressing because our Tesla is turning 3 years old with zero moving engine parts. Just enjoy the car, maintain it well and life will be good. There will always be a newer model with the latest features but your current car will still get you from A to B just fine. Have I gone off pist here or does this help the OP?

I cant help but think that some rebel Amish out there or luddite is have a good laugh at us

Sell the Tesla for what you can get for it and buy a nearly new, heavily depreciated Hyundai or Kia and have the peace of mind of a very long (5 and 7 years from new respectively) manufacturers warranty?

The process of selling/buying tends to lose a few £k of value to dealer margins.

I’ve got a 2019 3P. Immaculate. FSD. 39,000 miles.

Late October Tesla offered me £29,900. 8 weeks later they offered me £19,000.

Good luck!

Interesting. Just done another Tesla trade-in quotation and it’s increased to £22,700

My assumption is that Trade In price is according to what stock they "have" vs. "want". maybe there is a time of the year that Company Cars are acquired / come available (2nd hand)? If so then maybe the low-price hit a dumping period?

What happened with your door handle? I missed where you mentioned it.

I had a door handle fail, it basically lost its soft close functionality. Took 4 months to get replaced, with the service date getting pushed back over and over. Wasn’t too bothered because it still worked, but not great from a parts availability point of view.
