❓ Frequently asked questions — Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD

The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD has an Irish list price of €54,990 (including 23% VAT). After the SEAI Private Car Grant of €3,500, the net cost is approximately €51,490. The range starts from €46,990 list price. Confirm current pricing with your authorised dealer and verify grant eligibility at seai.ie.
The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD has a WLTP official range of 533km. In real-world Irish conditions — motorway speeds, Irish temperatures and typical mixed urban/rural driving — expect approximately 430km per charge. This is sufficient for Dublin to Cork (260km) on a single charge.
Yes. The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD qualifies for the SEAI Private Car Grant of €3,500. New M1 BEV, list price €14k–€60k. Apply via seai.ie after purchase. Verify current eligibility at seai.ie.
Yes. Company car drivers benefit from the BIK (Benefit in Kind) OMV deduction of €20,000 in 2026, significantly reducing taxable BIK on EVs. Combined with zero motor tax (€120/yr) and lower fuel costs versus petrol, the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD is one of the most tax-efficient company cars in Ireland. The SEAI grant of €3,500 also applies for private buyers.
At 15,000km per year: home charging at a €0.24/kWh night rate costs approximately €554. Public charging at €0.49/kWh costs approximately €1,131. Add €120 motor tax. Compare to approximately €2,700 in petrol for an equivalent combustion car.
Tesla sells direct — no franchised dealers. You configure and order online at tesla.com/ie, with delivery arranged from Tesla's Dublin service centre. All servicing and warranty support is handled through the Tesla app or Tesla's service centre.
Yes — Tesla Superchargers in Ireland are now open to non-Tesla EVs via the Tesla app with a CCS adapter. Tesla owners retain priority access and benefit from seamless plug-and-charge billing. Non-Tesla drivers pay per-kWh via the Tesla app at a slightly higher rate.
For most Irish drivers the RWD is the better value choice — its real-world range handles every Irish route comfortably. The Long Range AWD is worth the extra cost if you regularly drive Dublin–Cork return in a single day, want AWD for winter driving confidence, or want faster Supercharger speeds (250kW vs 170kW on the RWD). The AWD also qualifies for the €3,500 SEAI grant but not VRT relief — so the price gap after grants is around €11,500.
The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD supports up to 250kW DC and 11kW AC charging. At a 7.4kW home wallbox, a full charge takes approximately 12 hours. At a 50kW ESB ecars rapid charger, 10–80% takes around 69 minutes. At the maximum 250kW DC rate, 10–80% takes approximately 14 minutes.
The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD uses the Tesla Supercharger network natively, plus CCS for ESB ecars and Ionity rapid chargers.
Motor tax for the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD is €120 per year — the lowest available band in Ireland (A1, 0g/km CO₂). All battery electric vehicles registered as private cars qualify for this rate, compared to €280–€700+/year for an equivalent petrol or diesel car.
