So if you're watching the DON QUIJOTE, you're tilting at the wrong windmill? ;)

I know of at least one service desk housed on the estate off of the A404(M) just before you hit the M4 junction (or it could be just a number they have from a SIP provider).

Does anyone know what string to search for to get the Vehicle Registration Number field (not the VIN) in the source code, or whether it even shows up there or not?

I've been a Jag (and Range Rover) customer since 2001 with a number of vehicles from them, including two new XK's (both old steel and newer shape ali). Looked at and had the i-Pace on loan for a few days, but: a. the iPace is £25K over priced for what it is b. any ICE alternative is now 12...

Yes transferred mine over a week or so ago for a collection on 29/11 - it's not like it was earning any interest whilst I had it :rolleyes:

It's a dangerous precedent to set, encouraging governments to think their electorate will tolerate having assets sold to pay unrealised cgt... imho

Is that the HOEGH KOBE off her port side? (last fix I have is 14 hours old).

A different policy for Tesla Charters vs. Scheduled Service perhaps? It wouldn't be the first time Tesla specifically has been targeted...

HOEGH KOBE is visible in the Gulf of Aden

@Mr Miserable - is there a chance ALTAIR LEADER may go back on the list? I think she was scrubbed as going to Thailand, but I notice she is now visible off the coast of Jeddah/Red Sea headed to Suez.

That's going to mean a later Southampton arrival than 17th Nov - unless they engage "Nimitz mode" and get there @35+knots? ;)

Do you mean LAKE GENEVA? I think HELIOS RAY is bound straight to Southampton from Suez?

@Mr Miserable - out of interest and in relation to this post, do ports operate in a similar manner to airport stands, where there are pretty substantial financial penalties for missing your gate departure/arrival times?

Indeed. The exception being the Helios Ray, who's presence is permenantly accompanied by sparkling seas and a light tailwind, carrying the sound of angelic choral music 😉

It would appear that the way to tell if a ship is carrying Teslas on board, is if it has its AIS turned Off...

All I can see after reading this post is:

My money would be on HELIOS RAY also, which is where I think mine is as well.

I'm buying the Samsung T5 series. 1TB for music and still undecided for the Sentry Cam, but same series.

I've just completed this process and my bank has a downloadable pdf option as a receipt and I also took screenshots of each stage. I mailed Tesla the Transaction Confirmed screenshot and the pdf and 5 minutes later my account is now showing "Prepare for Delivery" and the amount due now is £0.00...

No SMS sent to me. It just changed on the web site under "Account" and "Manage" for the car order. I don't think I signed out and back in, but may have done, as that sometimes triggers a change (and reloads cached content dependant on how the site has been written).

Mine changed late last night to "Please pay off your remaining balance prior to delivery" with Tesla's banking details and instructions etc. Funny how the messaging got far less cryptic at this point ;) In any case I'll be making my payment over the next few days - its not like its earning...

Once I have the vehicle I'll be looking to CAD something up and either 3D print or CNC mill it (I have both options in the home workshop). Probably some kind of press fit cradle against the floor or wall of the front centre storage bin. Same with the glove box one for Sentry Cam footage.

My collection changed from Birmingham NEC to Bristol, which whilst fine makes me wonder whether any of the suspected ships are due to dock there (I think one did in Q3)?

Interesting update - looks like Tesla's app could do with some fixing, as I've just had a second Schedule Delivery text and going into the URL just results in a confirmation of the appointment made from the first text. Actually their web developers could do with some motivation as the site...

Booked in to collection my M3LR from Cribbs Causeway, Bristol - 29th Nov (was NEC Birmingham at order time)

Thanks all, that is most useful to get real world usage experiences.

Hi all, I did a quick search and couldn't see anything specific to this, so here goes: Now I have my VIN I'm looking to get things ready for delivery and on the list is upgrading the supplied Sentry CAM USB stick (goes in the glove box according to the manual) and I'm thinking of going "to the...

They did from last week (had to go back and double check in case I'd had a senior moment ;) ): PS. there's a whole row of filmed cars closer to the camera to the left of the mini-bus if the rows with red arrows are too small. PPS. I was mistaken in my earlier analysis of this video - there are...

Would cars being produced with protective film on their upper body surfaces, obviate this requirement?

According to Marine Traffic it looks like the crew are doing a bit of shopping on Orchard Road ;)

I know what you mean. I've had a succession of new cars for over two decades, but this one feels like buying into the future....

I expect the reason Mr M is away today is so he can leave the task of clearing up our off topic post to another mod 😉

Same here - ordered 23rd Sept LR MSM 19"

Well - let the flurry begin :) and I also speculate that the ghost ship may indeed be UK bound now. Just had my VIN show in the source code i.e. "LRWxxxxxxxxx" My order was on 23 Sept for a M3 LR/MSM/Black Interior/19" rims - now the wait for a date begins...

Short answer not really - long answer: The paint is applied normally as follows: Adherance enhancer coat if aluminium Corrosion protection coats Primer (s) (normally grey or white) - Sometimes one or more of the above maybe combined Base coat(s) i.e. colour coats, which maybe layered if effects...

BTW whilst we await the return of Mr M and his enhanced tracking capabilities, here's the last Wu Wa YT drone footage from the weekend: Observations: Busier than the weekend of the 16/17 Oct and much busier than the 9/10 which is to be expected as they ramp up from Q3 end and the national...

Yeah it was just a quick way of pointing Oxstock to the pier/berth, as its there currently...

There is one other we know of, but its only been used once or twice before - look for this vessel on Marine Traffic: DA FENG GANG HE SHUN HAO GigaFactory 3 is not far from there to the North East (look for a large patch of graded land as the "sat" map is quite old now, or correlate with Google Maps)

That means our ghost ship has slipped away. Hmmmm.... Chances of picking it up later.... Not good I'd wager

Did Artemis Leader just pop into view just North of the pier?

On tablet so limited typing..... Haixuno1053 was also showing at the right hand berth a few minutes ago..... curiouser

Hai ping 6 looks like it's doing something to an invisible ship?

If I'm awake I'll be watching also. Most intriguing...

@Mr Miserable - did we ever have the BOSPORUS HIGHWAY on the list? - Its following the same route as the other vessels on your list (departed from the normal pier in Shanghai and kind of sits in the gap between TALIA and LAKE FUXIAN)...

I sold two cars through Motorway prior to ordering my Model 3 and they were great, although their website does not handle two cars being sold by the same person/PC and gets confused. Luckily a few calls to their service desk sorted that out (their desk queuing needs work though). In both cases...

Its one of three I believe they have used: One is the next one downstream and the other is on the Pier South of GF3, which you can see being used in a Wa Wu YT video. Mr M may know if there are more upstream on the Yangtze - I've had a brief scan up there, but couldn't see any likely candidates.

I wouldn't be surprised to find some folks with money and/or "weight" trying to scalp/manipulate the market (although Tesla's ordering process should help with that). Piracy is also still very much a thing these days unfortunately (Captain Phillips was based on real events) and Elon's...

Just guessing, but I would expect they accumulate orders into production batches, which then get sent down the line, dependant on how much reconfig work is needed on the line to switch from one configuration batch to another. Those batches are likely then matched once on the ships, but does mean...
