You know my answer....

This fits with GRANDE MIRAFIORI.

Over in Shanghai another ship is looming on the horizon - GLOVIS SUNRISE looks like she is positioning herself to be next to dock at Shanghai South. GLOVIS SUNRISE is a bigger ship than GLOVIS COURAGE and can squeeze in an extra 500 cars or so.

I'm not biting anymore.

Over in Barcelona, MORNING MIDAS has departed but it looks like VICTORIUS ACE has nipped in, in front of CRYSTAL RAY.

I suspect that GOLD KOCHAV will be delivering a bunch of MY from Berlin to Ashdod, Israel on 22 Jul.

They have a lot of cars to deliver and they are not exactly working hard to clear them from the dockside. There are 2 batches on M3 on the way - CRYSTAL RAY delivering to Barcelona as we speak and HOEGH TRIDENT to Zeebrugge which you have checked already. That's it.

I don't at the moment - Do you have an EDD?

I would hazard a guess that her berth remains occupied. When MORNING MIDAS departs we may see some movement.

I'm keeping an eye on GLOVIS COURAGE at the moment - it looks like she may be heading into Shanghai South....

I'm afraid that isn't possible with this ship .

Or is it already in Norway? There are still some M3 on the dockside in Drammen. Click here to see the webcam - the camera to look at is Tollbukaia

It'll appear in the next 24 hrs or so. She is currently just SW of Taiwan

NO! NYET. NE. NEIN. NEM. NEI. NIE. NEJ. Please wipe the container ship from your memory. It hasn't even been to Shanghai and container ships are not used. Your TA is wrong, wrong, wrong.

GOLD XING is your ship - arrives Ashdod 01 Aug.

GRAND SAPPHIRE didn't dock in Shanghai South and instead went to the main Haitong terminal. She has now departed enroute to S Korea. This confirms to me that shipments to Canada are on hold for the moment and GRAND SAPPHIRE's voyage has been cancelled. I would imagine that once the strike is...

Welcome to the thread! I don't think she is likely to be carrying any Teslas, either from Berlin or Shanghai. Let me know if I'm wrong though!

SUMMARY 08 Jul 23 VIKING SEA has moved to a more sheltered anchorage off Vancouver Island and is clearly waiting for the port strike to conclude. CRYSTAL RAY She is bound for Barcelona ETA 9 Jul (deemed unlikely to head to Southampton afterwards.) 3458 MY and 762 M3. MORNING MARGARETA is on...

It looks like there may have been a change of mind regarding GRAND SAPPHIRE. She departed the anchorage but is now loitering and it looks like she is more likely to head into the main Shanghai terminal rather than Shanghai South. This could be the related to the Vancouver port strike. I wonder...

Shame about the wheel - it's still a great car - enjoy! BTW to put your mind at rest about it being a reject - if it's on a 23 plate and 1st registered date is today, then you know it's brand new.

If you have your VIN you can find out if M3 as well. Do let us know.

We know she has MY on board. She is on the tracking map. Due in to Zeebrugge on 23 Jul. If you have been allocated a VIN you can check to see if your car is onboard a Hoegh ship by entering it here.

There is absolutely no chance that COSCO UNIVERSE has any cars onboard, never mind Teslas! Trust me on this. Look at the map. Read my summaries. At the moment I'm doing them every couple of days but as soon as it hots up I will return to a daily summary. My last summary is here.

Alongside the Shanghai Haitong Terminal at the moment is GOLD XING. She is scheduled to depart tomorrow to Ashdod, Israel (1 Aug) and Derince, Turkey (5 Aug). If this is a Tesla shipment it will be of MY and I'm keen to learn whether this fits with the anticipated Israeli delivery.

You're at risk of underestimating the logistics involved which could lead to disappointment and even more frustration. It's one thing to get a berth and unload the ship and quite another to get the cars from the dock to the point of delivery.

I think I covered this on 1 Jul here I only used 2 lines and so easy to miss I suppose. I think all the cars will be destined to Canada - the ones dropped off at Tacoma will head to the eastern provinces.

Meanwhile over in Shanghai, MALAYSIA GRACE has departed to Japan and GRAND SAPPHIRE is heading in to Shanghai South to take her place. You will recall that GRAND SAPPHIRE is heading initially to Tacoma and then up to Vancouver with another batch of MY for those excitable Canucks. VIKING SEA has...

I have problems with some of the free imagery available on the internet especially with the timestamping - on many occasions they just don't fit known ship movements. A couple of years ago I paid a subscription to monitor Pier 80 - it wasn't reliable (cloudcover at exactly the wrong time and...

Perhaps he's right. It will be a first in many respects - 1st car shipped from China in a container (where will your car be reassembled now that the Tilburg facility is closed?) and 1st car to be shipped from China from a port other than Shanghai, Tesla must be trying to catch me out using a...

I hate to disappoint but..... CRYSTAL RAY is much more likely.

I note that MALAYSIA GRACE is making her way in to dock at Shanghai South. I don't yet know her destination but it is probably either Japan or Thailand. We shall see....

It's a fair point. For several weeks I thought the ship was probably headed to UK as there were none of the usual indications from EU except perhaps from Italy. Indeed, if it wasn't for your detective work in confirming she actually had Teslas onboard I may have doubted it myself. I wonder...

I can't find any details for your car which is slightly unusual. There was a batch of cars destined for Ireland that were loaded on to a Southampton bound ship instead of a Zeebrugge ship in error around this time. They sat around Southampton docks for a while with a plan to ship them to...

MYLR should be coming from Berlin for you. Lease company orders are dealt with by Tesla Enterprise (which I thought was in Amsterdam).

SUMMARY 06 Jul 23 VIKING SEA continues at anchor south of Vancouver Island and will wait for the strike to conclude. CRYSTAL RAY She is bound for Barcelona ETA 9 Jul (deemed unlikely to head to Southampton afterwards.) 4000 MY and 700 M3. MORNING MARGARETA is on her way to New Westminster...

This looks good for GRANDE MIRAFIORI.

I've made an enquiry - nothing back yet....

A ship at anchor will pivot around a point depending on the influence of wind and tide. A ships log may record a speed through the water of several knots because a tidal flow although the speed over ground will be nil.

In Germany I believe you need it to register your car. The German word for it has about 26 letters in it!

Iceland renting cars? Who knew? Haven't shopped there for ages. ;)

@Mr H What happened to your coilovers now that you have deserted the Tesla community?

Any UK cars in the batches quoted? You can safely post your VIN less the last 3 digits and we can compare it with other allocated UK VINs to rule out the block batch number scenario.

In the UK we don't have a CofC that shows date of manufacture. In the UK the car is registered direct by Tesla and the Form the owner receives (V5) does not show this information. In the US and some overseas markets the date of manufacture is stamped on the driver's door VIN sticker/plate.

These ships are designed and built to transport RoRo cargo, including your car, across the oceans and deliver them in perfect condition. They have succeeded in doing this for many years. This not a ferry-type operation. The decks are very well ventilated, to maintain acceptable humidity levels...

So your car will come from China. Ideally direct from China, but that is not guaranteed. Just keep an eye on this thread. If you receive a VIN please let me know as this will be an indication that things are happening. Nothing is on its way to you at present.

There is nothing in the VIN that shows manufacturing date - it shows the model year but that is it. Production of the 23 model year may have started then. There are websites that can give you an indication of when your car left the factory gate. Try this one and let us know the answer: Tesla...

At the moment I don't know - CRYSTAL RAY seemed to fit nicely and nothing else is springing to mind as a possible alternative. There is one ship which at present I don't know where in Europe she is heading - TONGALA which should pass through the Suez Canal on Saturday. Other possible suspects...

Model Y tops the June New Car Sales Table.

Remind me - what have you been waiting for? Is this a lease?
