Super Highland Tesla? Is yours on Titus?

'Don Juan' confirmed in transit to Australia with M3, confirmed by Tesla to two owners in the Tesla Owners Australia FB group

Mr M. is it just me, it seems very unusual to be this late in a quarter and Tesla only have one ship on the way to UK? I appreciate M3 will be in limited numbers but...?

Only 40 MY shipped to and delivered in Norway so far in Oct which is a surprise to me given the high numbers of MiG MY shipped in Sept, will be super interesting to see the Oct European deliveries. Did Berlin have another shutdown, deliver locally, or have they been shipping for export to Taiwan...?

LHD for Europe from Berlin, RHD for UK from China, until that changes

They are still waiting for the official announcement... From you! Go on, announce R HOEGH MISERABLE as the next ship, and watch it pop up on every forum 😉

...but, how many Citroen Ami could you fit on a panamax ship though Mr M.?

Seeing the video from Wuwa it shows the ship is also being loaded with RHD, I'm guessing for Ireland as I can't think where else it would be for, unlikely for UK, and Middle East already has a ship. Mr M.? Lots learned from that video, looks like they use about 100 stevedores or more which is...

Loading cars on a roro is a slow process as cars can usually only be loaded one deck at a time due to ballasting so the ship doesn't tip. Also, manpower is a huge limiting factor as this video shows from 3:15, you reach a point on each deck where cars can only be parked one or two at a time for...

Looks like we'll both be keeping an eye out tomorrow then, I wonder if Tesla were organised enough to deliver the Norway cars early and then Glovis Sun brought cars for Northern Europe. I note AutoProgress which has been doing two runs a week to Oslo is having a few days off in port at...

Seine Highway arrived at Zeebrugge on Tuesday and is docked where Teslas unload, that's no guarantee it's carrying Tesla but....

Unlike the model Y which well be getting shipped from Berlin, which will, for the foreseeable be purely black and white
