I have heard rumours of these mysterious blue EV triangles from "over east". No special EV privileges here in the west unfortunately.

Where are you getting the PPF & ceramic installed?

RAC was $100 more expensive than the quote I got in April. Still the cheapest.

Me too. 5pm on the 17th :)

I guess it is a sign that they expect to deliver all 500 by May 31

EDD just updated May 10 - 31. Anyone else?

When I ordered in Jan I Tesla told me car will not come with UMC, so I bought one secondhand. Then learned that cars built on or before 26/2 will come with UMC. My build date is 26/2, so it's possible I'll get another one with the car. Then Tesla send me the email so I ordered one for free...

Tesla's loading now, starting with the last ones off the ship :)

Lots of non-Tesla cars offloaded overnight. Dock is looking pretty full. Three trucks have just parked near the Teslas. Questions is, what cars will they load first?

My suspicion is that they are overcharging many EV customers who may not have picked up the issue in their quotes.

I agree completely. It is nerve wracking to rely on an email quote/promise without a proper quotation and the excuses they have offered for the last 3 months have been very wishy washy. They basically blame "IT". Unfortunately my employer is locked to the one NL provider. I expect they will need...

Did your NL company pay the Tesla invoice already? I have been trying to weigh up whether I should ask my NL company to pay Telsa now or wait until I get a confirmed delivery date. My NL provider says they want 2 weeks notice...

I am also going the Novated Lease route. My provider has not been able to provide a formal quotation as their 'system' has not been properly updated to reflect the FBT EV exemption as well as other issues. I really struggled with the first agent they assigned me, got absolutely nowhere for 2...

Maybe 3/4 unloaded? Looking good to hopefully finish tonight.

They look good (rubbing hands together)

Anyone else surprised by the lack of white Teslas?

5-11 Apr only 2 bus days allowing for Easter.

Just my VIN number based fantasy. In reality I expect it is like shuffling a deck of cards with all the transfers between factory and delivery centre.

So working on my "last on in China = first off in Sing = last on in Sing = first off in Freo" theory (don't put much weight on this), then my car is off the boat already! :)

Indeed! Just looking at my calendar and wondering if I can duck out to the port for a quick look :)

H Berth appears to be empty and nothing scheduled to dock there ahead of World Spirit, so hopefully the arrival and departure times are correct, and the "removal" time (Gage Rds to H berth) will be brought fwd.

Port schedule actually showing Gage Roads arrival on the 5th and H Berth arrival on the 6th...but not allowing any time for unloading between H Berth arrival and departure. I guess there will be further updates...

World Spirit Freo port schedule has been updated, now lines up with the various vessel trackers for 0200 local time on the 5th. I live quite close to the port so if not raining I might have an early morning peek on Friday. Any suggestions for best viewing location?

Vessel Finder now showing 11:30 on 4th, and Mol Ace showing 00:38 on the 5th !?

I can still see world spirit with my vin. Hopefully just a glitch?

Any clues on when the EDD will update for those on World Spirit, or will the next update be when Tesla contact us after vessel unloads to schedule a delivery time?

...and World Spirit is finally underway 🎉

Looks like World Spirit has arrived in Sing. I noticed that Dugong Ace briefly appeared on the Fremantle Port schedule this morning to arrive on the 9th, but has since been removed.

World Spirit is now on the Fremantle port schedule :)

Who is feeling optimistic about the 500 stuck in Sing getting loaded onto World Spirit this week? I am trying to not get my hopes up but failing quite miserably at this task. On a side note, is a free paint correction from Tesla too much to ask after bare paint sitting in the tropical rain and...

Thanks for the update. Can I ask who/how Tesla advised that the vehicles are now expected to arrive in second week of May? The second week of May (for deliveries) aligns with the May 8th EDD window many of us have already. Just trying to clarify that Tesla are in fact saying they expect the ship...

Did the car arrive with any signs of weathering after 51 days of unprotected Singapore sun and rain?

I feel like organising a picket outside Tesla, inviting the media and chanting "We want Dugong Ace!" :)

I wonder what the record is for Teslas being stuck in Singapore. 5+ weeks as it currently stands seems a bit ridiculous.

My car is also in the 500 waiting for a ship allocation. On the bright side at least they are getting a daily fresh water rinse from the tropical rain.

Nice detective work! So far the only Gulf Agency vessels listed on the Fremantle Port schedule are Palmela and Wisdom Ace. I wonder how dynamic the Freo Port schedule is and how much weight to put on it? I also doubt the World Spirit MOL allocation, seems unlikely. My fingers are crossed for...
