WTB: Tesla Model 3 (Blue/White, EAP, <40k km) – Budget 130k AED

Hey all,

I’m looking to buy a Standard M3 RWD** **and wanted to see if anyone here are selling or know someone who is.

What I’m Looking For:
Color: Blue Exterior with White Interior (Preferably).
Software: Preferably with EAP**.**
Odometer: Less than 40,000 km.
Budget: Up to 130,000 AED.

What brought me here:

I’ve had a rough time with the market lately. I actually found the "perfect" car last week, but despite being there for the first inspection, the seller went with another buyer who swooped in with a higher cash offer on the same day. It was a huge letdown to miss out by just a few hours.

I also actually have an active order** **for a new Model 3 that I placed back in February. It’s been on hold since then , so I’ve decided to go the used route instead.

If you are selling or know someone who is, please lmk 🙏

Charging in JLT & nearby

Hi Tesla fam

I'm considering buying a MYLR. But I'm not sure about charging in DMCC. Haven't seen anyone charging EVs here.

What do people with EVs do there?

Crack on the glass roof from the back

No clue what happened. I parked at work today (private basement parking) and got my bag from the trunk - very clearly saw that the back glass above the trunk was completely fine. After work, I go to put my bag in the trunk and I notice this crack. It's like it showed up out of nowhere and it stretches almost the entire way to the other end of the glass panel in a straight line. It looks like there's an impact point at the bottom but the paint on the trunk is undamaged and there is nothing around or on the car that could be the source of an impact.

Could this have happened randomly, maybe because of the heat or the sun?

What are my options to repair this?

Expensive insurance

Why is Tesla insurance expensive? Is it parts? Battery?
Also, is there a big difference in insurance price if you choose “non-agency repairs” vs “Tesla repairs”? If this is an option at all!

Because really……what you pay in exorbitant annual Tesla insurance premium, is what you would normally pay petrol for a regular car.
Am I right in saying that? They both offset each other.

Where’s the saving of owning a Tesla?

Model Y or Model 3

Hi everyone, I am new to Tesla and I have zero idea about the insurance costs, maintenance costs etc etc

Is it worth it? My budget is around 80-90k for a 2022+ model. I found a Model Y for around 85k in Abu Dhabi, driven for 120k Kms and warranty available until 2030

Used leather conditioner on plastic trim. Made it worse. Then made it worse again.

Model 3, black interior. Lower door card where my leg rubs it every time I get in.

Saw a patch that looked like it was flaking. Panicked slightly, grabbed Weiman leather conditioner and went at it. Panel is textured plastic. Nothing happened except it went oily.

Cleaned that off with Sonax Cockpit Cleaner. Now the patch is pale and frosted looking, worse than where I started.

I’m assuming the conditioner was just darkening worn texture and I’ve stripped the disguise off. Or there’s dried product sitting in the grain. Can’t tell which.

Is this coming back or is the grain gone for good? And is a heat gun retexture a real fix or a fast way to melt a door card?

Pics in order: original, after conditioner, after cleaning

Has anyone purchased an ex-taxi/fleet vehicle ?

Coming across a lot of ex-taxi model 3's recently for a much lower price than on Dubizzle. Interior seems fine and mileage as well seems not too bad, around 100-150K. 2022-2023 models. What's the catch ? Do EV's suffer with excessive wear being a taxi or is the range heavily depreciated ? Seems like a good deal for a 2023 model ?

AC repair 3rd party garage

Need a 3rd party garage recommendation that can fix the AC issue in my M3 2021

The AC doesn't cool to temperature, left it at a garage I usually do the fixes at but they were unable to fix it properly

They changed the coolant pumps and checked for leaks but it didn't help

Would appreciate some recommendations asap as I need the car ready by today

Free Premium subscription ending this Aug?

I guess everyone got this? They will probably add Grok after this.

EDD🥀

Has anyone received their Tesla this year? I’ve been waiting for mine for what feels like forever. With everything going on around the Strait of Hormuz, I just wanted to ask if anyone has actually received their Tesla recently, and if so, how long did you have to wait?

first car

hi guys! i'm looking to get a tesla as my first car, and i haven't been really into cars so i don't know much. i don't know which one to get to start off; i have been in a tesla before (uber) but i did notice that there's no noise isolation and it was super loud. i don't know if that's an issue with an older model that i don't know of or if the problem is still ongoing with the newer models.
recommend me some please. :)

Looking for someone in Dubai with a home charger – Battery Health Test

Hi everyone,

I’m a Model Y owner in Dubai and I’m trying to run Tesla’s official Battery Health Test.

The problem is that the test requires the car to be connected to an AC/home charger for around 15–20 hours, and unfortunately I don’t have access to a home charger where I live.

Would anyone in Dubai with a Tesla/home charger be willing to let me use their charger for the test?

I’d be happy to cover the electricity cost, and of course I’d stay with the car / do whatever is convenient for you.

I’m located in Dubai and can drive to a reasonable location.

Please DM me if you might be able to help. 🙏

Thanks!
