Tesla don't build to order and so I reckon if you order now, unless you order something weirdly exotic, you stand a good chance of getting delivery prior to 30 June ie already on the way. The trouble is the next quarter will be dominated by 01 Sep registration and the 74 plate and so if you are...

How very bizarre! I'm reasonably satisfied that ASIAN EMPIRE still has cars onboard to unload in Zeebrugge. I've not noted NORDIC RAY being used to move Teslas to Drammen - it's usually a KESS ship (eg ISAR/DANUBE/THAMES/EMS HIGHWAY) or City of Rotterdam/St Petersburg. There are still Teslas...

ASIAN EMPIRE is due to arrive in Zeebrugge on 23 May. She may have some cars to unload there.

With Tesla nothing can be ruled out. It may seem absurd that a car destined for Sweden is landed in Slovenia but.....

Not all (some do) have access to this level of detail. Even if your rep pings the car it will just show where where it was loaded. ("My car is still in Shanghai!") In the past it appeared that those folk who asked for details via the chat method seemed to get more detailed info than speaking...

It's possible that she is carrying Teslas. She didn't depart from Shanghai South but not all Teslas depart from there. Do you have an EDD?

Registration occurs on the day of delivery. It can take a couple of weeks to receive your V5C and the reg won't appear on the online insurance databases etc until they are updated. So you have to manually type in your vehicle details to get an insurance quote.

Current situation:- RCC AMERICA ETA Koper 18 May. ASIAN EMPIRE ETA Barcelona 18 May. MORNING POST Southampton ETA 29 May and Zeebrugge ETA 31 May. GLOVIS SOLAR currently heading for Mauritius but believed to be bound for Zeebrugge ETA around 6 Jun. All these ships can be tracked on the map...

It sems to be the new thing by Tesla UK to not inform you of the VIN but just the registration. Frankly, that is all I got from other manufacturers when I previously bought a new car in the UK. The preoccupation with the VIN came about because the 1st stage of the delivery process from Tesla was...

No I don't know which ship will deliver to Drammen however its usually a KESS ship. The voyage from Zeebrugge to Drammen is about 36 hours. Cars can sit in Zeebrugge for up to 2 weeks (usually about a week) waiting for their connecting ship.

Solent ships webcam

Cars will have been assigned weeks ago. They will start unloading immediately and then will be prepped (stripped of shipping protection, taken out of transport mode, cleaned and charging cables added) and then loaded on to transporters. I expect to see the first ones heading out of the docks...

RCC COMPASS on the left approaching Southampton as HOEGH TARGET on the right departs to Spain.

RCC COMPASS Arriving in Southampton now. RCC AMERICA ETA Koper 18 May. ASIAN EMPIRE ETA Barcelona 16 May. MORNING POST Southampton ETA 29 May and Zeebrugge ETA 31 May. GLOVIS SOLAR currently heading for Mauritius but believed to be bound for Zeebrugge ETA around 6 Jun. All these ships can be...

I'm sorry but I have no idea of MS/MX shipments at the moment.

RCC COMPASS making her way up the Solent a few minutes ago.

For those waiting in Ireland, I see SCHELDE HIGHWAY is on her way! ETA 15:00 tomorrow.

That 6,500 is based on the size of a 1966 Toyota Carina - seriously. So don't expect 6,500 Teslas. A full ship has around 4,500 Teslas. I don't know if it's full but the ship has cars for Zeebrugge onboard also. My guess would be about 2,000 -2,500 for UK.

No news I'm afraid. Model S/X were shipped from Baltimore but then the bridge accident occurred. I expected Tesla to switch to using Newark but nothing has caught my eye. I didn't spot the Cybertrucks being shipped to the UK either- I've no idea how they got here.

If only someone would post a map showing the latest positions of all the Teslas ships in transit. Oh you mean THIS

Google IOW webcams and you should be able to follow her as she heads up the Solent this evening to Southampton's Western Docks.

I have no idea - sorry.

If you have the Reg then you will have the VIN too. The VIN allocation happens before the reg's are paired.

Drammen is currently full of Teslas. The port is so cluttered with cars at the moment its difficult to make out the mix of Model 3/Y. I'm hoping that in an effort to make space in the main dock area they move the Teslas across to Tangen and Tollbukaia. If you look at the webcams you can see...

I forgot to mention that JIUYANG BLOSSOM is making her way from Pier 80 to Taiwan (ETA 17 May). I think I'm right in saying this is the first shipment from Pier 80 this quarter. I'm told RCC ANTWERP may call at Pier 80 next week....

So GLOVIS SOLAR has departed Shanghai South and her destination is Mauritius! In tracking ships out of Shanghai over the last 4 years or so I don't think I have ever seen a ship depart with its next stop being Mauritius. I still think she will head to Zeebrugge and heading to Maurititius...

Just a reminder of what I reckon the situation is: RCC COMPASS ETA Southampton 07 May. RCC AMERICA ETA Koper 18 May. ASIAN EMPIRE ETA Barcelona 16 May. MORNING POST Southampton ETA 29 May and Zeebrugge ETA 31 May. GLOVIS SOLAR currently loading Shanghai South probably destined for Zeebrugge...

MORNING POST is currently making her way across the Indian Ocean towards the southern tip of S Africa. She's doing 17 kts and still has an ETA of 29 May. I'm sorry she's not showing on the map at the moment - I'll see what I can do...

You should get your reg at least 2 weeks ahead of pickup.

Just to be clear, we expect the UK to be supplied with MY from Berlin, from June (possibly May). (I'm aware of what the website says) I won't be tracking any MY from Berlin! It would be helpful if you stated in your posts what you are waiting for ie M3 or MY .

Welcome back!! The charging infrastructure in Dubai has developed beyond recognition since you received your first M3. It must be easy now. How many speeding tickets? What's your EDD?

If it was on RCC COMPASS then I would expect you to have a VIN allocated however all is not lost because some folk won't be able to take delivery and so you may stand a chance of picking up a reallocation. Otherwise, I think you will be waiting for MORNING POST.

We've had to wait a while for the RCC COMPASS VINs to drop - she departed on 31 Mar and so if the pattern repeats we could be looking at around 14 May.

OK I just wanted to check your car was coming from China as we will shortly be supplied from Berlin. The fact that it wasn't on a Hoegh ship is not a surprise but worth definitely excluding, simply because we can. Fingers crossed for RCC COMPASS....

What are the 1st 3 letters of your VIN please?

I'm not confident that your car is onboard TANNHAUSER and think it more likely to be onboard RCC COMPASS. At the moment, we don't know whether RCC COMPASS will head to Zeebrugge after Southampton but I reckon it's likely. To rule out other possibilities, if you have your VIN, enter it here and...

TANNHAUSER is currently unloading in Barcelona. Although she will depart to Zeebrugge I don't think she will have any Teslas left onboard. RCC COMPASS ETA Southampton 09 May. I'm 100% sure she is transporting Teslas to UK. RCC AMERICA ETA Koper 20 May. Almost certainly a Tesla shipment. ASIAN...

I haven't been tracking ships to Perth for sometime. If I recall correctly the ships to Fremantle used to come via Singapore but as you say it looks like this may have changed. At least they are not coming by train across the Nullarbor! (@Sturty will know the reason I mention this)

Sadly an EDD does not mean you have been assigned a specific vehicle. The EDD, which is produced by an algorithm, can vary wildly until such time as you have been assigned a VIN. The VIN will be hidden until such time as Tesla declare it. VINs can be and are allocated to those with pending...

It hasn't happened yet but it is on the cards for UK and Ireland Model Y to be supplied from Berlin. The driver for this is the fact that Berlin will be producing RHD for the Indian market. Model 3s will continue to be supplied from Shanghai. The final MY shipment from Shanghai should arrive...

Summary: GLOVIS COURAGE Currently in Southampton. Departs at midday for Zeebrugge - arriving early hours Tue 16 Apr. HOEGH TARGET This ship is on a scheduled service (ie not a charter) however Tesla have used this service in the past to move cars to Europe (not UK). If you are in the EU and...

That is quite possible. The ship loaded in Shanghai South and is routing direct to Melbourne.

Yours is the first indication on here that GLOVIS COURAGE may actually have some Teslas onboard! Her current position is roughly halfway between Madeira and Lisbon. She is due to dock in Southampton at 00:30 on 14 Apr.

That fits for GLOVIS COURAGE

Summary: HOEGH TARGET This ship is on a scheduled service (ie not a charter) however Tesla have used this service in the past to move cars to Europe (not UK). If you have been allocated a VIN you can find out if your car is on this ship by entering the VIN HERE TANNHAUSER ETA Barcelona 22 Apr...

Mmmmm. Sounds very much like Giga Berlin may be starting RHD production sooner rather than later.

You are entering your VIN on the Hoegh website to see if your car is on a Hoegh vessel. It's not, which isn't a surprise since the Hoegh ships are only used to supply the EU market.

That is true - Berlin will be manufacturing for the Indian market and so it's logical to assume that they should be able to export to the UK too. We shall see.....

PAGANELLA has just departed to Yokohama but she then heads off to BNE 21/4, PK 254/ and MEL 29/4. Yokohama is a port Tesla use and so she could have some Teslas onboard. There are other ships but nothing really stands out until MORNING CRYSTAL does another run from Shanghai on 10 May arr BNE...
