1. Order flow
Open the referral route before configuring the car and confirm the buyer benefit appears in Tesla checkout.
Delivery checklist for Irish buyers
Plan the order and collection together. The referral benefit attaches during ordering; insurance, finance, charging, and delivery logistics should be settled before handover.
2. Collection logistics
Check whether your order points you toward Sandyford, Baldonnell, Cork, or another Tesla-arranged delivery path and plan transport accordingly.
3. First week driving
Know your charging plan before collection: home, work, public chargers, and any Supercharging credit from the referral.
Sandyford, Baldonnell, Cork: confirm the actual handover point
Irish buyers often talk about Tesla Sandyford because it is the familiar Dublin Tesla location, but current collection logistics can also involve Baldonnell or Cork depending on Tesla's allocation and your order. Do not assume the handover point from older forum posts. Use the Tesla app/order messages as the source of truth, then plan transport, insurance start time, first charge, and collection-day inspection around that location.
Delivery questions from Irish Tesla buyers
Is collection always in Sandyford?
No. Sandyford is the familiar Tesla Dublin location, but Irish owners have reported Baldonnell for collection too. Treat Tesla's app, texts, and order emails as the source of truth.
Why do people mention Baldonnell?
Because some Dublin-area handovers can be assigned there. It changes transport planning, insurance start time, and first-charge planning, so confirm the exact handover point before collection day.
When should I sort insurance?
Before handover. Once Tesla confirms registration and collection details, make sure the insurance policy is active for the collection time and exact model.
What should I bring or check on the day?
Bring licence, payment/finance confirmation if relevant, insurance confirmation, and charging plan. Check visible condition, tyres, paint, glass, charging cable/accessories, app access, and that you can get home comfortably.
