Do we know what kind of ship departure frequency we should be looking for from Shanghai? A quick and dirty calc assuming let's say a conservative 1,500 vehicles a day output (I've seen numbers as high as 1,800 quoted) with 90% bound for export = 1,350 per day leaving the GF3 site. That would...

He's bought a couple of oil rigs recently, so I wonder if Elon would consider buying some surplus USN CVN-xx's (Nimitz Class aircraft carriers) - they go a lot faster than 18knots and they're carbon neutral ;)

This is where I'm at also...ordered 23rd Sept M3LR MSM 19" Black and no VIN yet. There are a few ships on their way and the factory is definitely producing RHD cars, so fingers crossed it shouldn't be too much longer...

Just a quick heads up that Wu Wa has his latest YT video up and the holding lot is much more populated from just after the national holiday and the factory looks like its in full swing. I have read that the average daily output is now north of 1,600 vehicles and a rough count of the lot shows...

Does she maybe need maintenance/repairs and they're trying to work out whether to dock for that somewhere before pushing back into service?

Technically there are three other routes (assuming the Northwest Passage isn't open ;) ) In order of probability: 1. Around the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa), 2. Across the Pacific - Panama Canal - Across the Atlantic and 3. Across the Pacific (a bit of Southern Ocean) - Cape Horn - Across...

Using a bit of reasoning and a 30 day voyage from Shanghai to Southampton. If a ship left Shanghai today then it should arrive around the 13th/14th of November. Add say 5 days to unload and prep for collection, that means the 19th Nov, when folks start to get their cars, give or take a few days...

Yes - same here currently on Firefox and Edge - it makes a change from the previous radio silence, but can't figure out if its a good thing or not ;)

Exactly - It's a feature, not a bug ;)

Some of that noise I think comes from a hypothesis I've read in a few places that VINs start getting assigned when Tesla laden carriers are in the Red Sea/Suez area. That has some valid logic to it if there's a concern of an "accident" occuring with the vessel up to that point. We also have the...

Its on its way to Koper, Sloveniua, so it kind of fits - Mr M may have more details. I'm also waiting on Jason Yang and WuWa's YT drone fly-overs of GF3 this weekend, which may reveal whether RHD cars are being produced (their 4K videos are very useful :) ).

The government removing the 40% import tariff and 20% VAT on imported solar panels would go a long way to helping the situation. Until that happens anything politicians/civil servants say about energy is self-serving hot air. No investment needed there, just not hindering others who are willing to.

Pretty much exactly what I said to my (ex) Jag dealer when he was trying to sell me the iPace "its a nice car, but what I would buy in a heart beat is the F-Type on the Model3's skateboard". A 3 door, long nose GT Model 3 variant would be an awesome car (especially if the weight could be kept...

If anyone wants to do a deep dive into detailing and paint correction then there's a good UK forum called Detailing World - not sure on the linking rules here, so google will help find it. There are a few Teslas that have been given some care and attention in the The Studio and Showroom sections...

Definately this. I've bought Jaguars/Range Rovers for 20 years largely because I support UK manufacturing, but telling your prospective customers that the leadtime on a new vehicle is 12 months is not an effective sales strategy (largely due to own goals in the design, usage and logistics of...

A couple more noob questions and observations: Is there more than one M3 and MY line in GF3 and do we know how quickly they can switch over from RHD to LHD and vice versa (I think I remember Elon tweeting it was easier than on ICE lines, due to the skateboard concept?) Also I was looking at the...

Thanks @VanillaAir_UK - for some reason when I tried off the Tesla website last time, I ended up with an active order for 3xPowerwalls :eek:🤣 and no way to talk about solar roof/panels or some other complexities of my supplie(s) to get a full ecosystem.

Hi all Has anyone got a recommendation for a Wall Charger Gen 3 installer in Worcestershire? Preferably someone I can also have a serious conversation with about Powerwall and Solar at the same time. Many thanks in advance.

In my net wanderings and reviewing this thread, I of course came across Wu Wa's YT vid of the Triton Ace being loaded with M3s, but didn't notice anyone identifying the pier being used. So just in case its useful I've clipped a screenshot of it from Marine Traffic and also noted that its the...

Getting into the spirit of Tesla Shipment stalking, I've been looking at some of the vessels mentioned in this thread and not many look like they are in the vicinity or headed to the South/East China Sea area, but there are a few that are going to Singapore, which maybe a waypoint destination on...

Thanks for the write up and the GT comment pretty much mirrors my M3 test drive experiemce. I have just sold a Jaguar XK (5.0 V8) as part of the switch over to the M3 LR and I was surprised partially to find the rides in both to be very similar, both in performance and handling (minus the...

Perfect, thank you @Tehd - I would like your post, but I don't think I have enough yet to do that....yet :) Back to stalking boats...I mean ships...and waiting for a VIN

Noob question: when you say Order Confirmation, are you talking an RNxxxx number received or something else? Trying to understand the steps involved...

I haven't sunk to that yet, just a bit of light cyber-stalking. If anyone gets a webcam(s) set up on the holding lot/docks they'll get plenty of views on YT/Twitch I expect ;)

As a complete noob to the world of Tesla Logistics Watch, I would say unlikely, but not impossible. I have been "watching" Giga 3 since the drone videos started going up just after they broke ground on the factory and Jason Yang's on 23rd Sept did show a lot of cars in the holding lot, but...

Ordered an M3 LR AWD in Midnight Silver/19" Wheels/Black Interior on 23 Sept Estimated delivery was showing as Nov, but fully expect that to shift right,
