AI Market Summary

Excellent real-world range and zero fuel cost make ownership extremely cheap to run; strong Irish EV charging network support.
Priced fairly for market demand right now; 29 active listings suggest good stock, but +14.7% YoY rise signals increasing buyer interest.
Door handles freeze in Irish winter weather — test extend/retract multiple times in cold before committing. Touchscreen lag usually fixed by software update.
Check panel alignment and paint finish closely (Tesla build quality varies); inspect doors, boot, frunk for gaps. Request full service history.
NCT passes required every 2 years from age 4; battery health and thermal management critical — ask seller about any battery degradation reports or Tesla service records.
