2020 Shipping Movements

[Mr Miserable]

As expected, the GLOVIS CHALLENGE is confirmed to arrive at Southampton on Mon 24 Feb, however I strongly believe this is not associated with any Tesla business. This is supported by where the ship is due to park in Southampton - well away from the Tesla park.

Would anybody else be surprised if Mr_M turns out to be a Bond villain? I mean, he knows too much...

I do wonder, whether it was not originally scheduled, whether they will try and make an exception here, rather than charter another ship to take a small set of cars from Zeeb to Southampton after it looks like the northern ones are on the way to Grimsby.

BOND: Do you expect me to talk?
MR M.: No Mr Bond, I expect you to follow my Shipping Movements thread!

Meanwhile, at Zeebrugge, the AUTOPREMIER has departed to Grimsby.
I wouldn't be surprised if this had Model 3s from the GLOVIS CHALLENGE onboard, destined for the northern folk.

I spoken to the Big T today and they said that the Grimsby drop off is normally for lease cars.

so mine is paid for so they said it will go to Southampton? And originally on the challenge. So I’d love to truly know how it’s getting here

I think the key word there is ‘normally’. Is missing a connecting ship due to the storm sufficiently abnormal to warrant an exception?

I certainly hope it's just for Lease as I have a cash payment on M3 and no text message. Will it not be left on the Challenge seems silly to travel to Southampton and not drop Challenge M3s off.

Of course, I prefer Grimsby it’s closer to my delivery destination.
I don’t mind how my car gets here haha just hopefully in one piece.

I was just letting the rest of the forum know that Grimsby is a destination for lease vehicles.

but if I get an exception, I’m happy with that

 

[Mr Miserable]

Now is the time to activate my sleeper in Grimsby.
I need him to check what's being unloaded from AUTOPREMIER tomorrow afternoon.
Alas, I think he took the task too literally and I cannot wake him.....

Mr M - how do we donate you a coffee

I have no interest in this thread (have never had to care when cars will actually arrive) but ... I'm addicted!!

I’m like that,

I’ve had lots of brand new cars and not been bothered about delivery dates once.

but this forum is ace, constant refreshes hahaha

if I’m honest, it’s been the worst buying experience ever, through Tesla........but weirdly I like how they treat us.

It’s a bit like your Mrs not giving out, it makes you want it more

No clarity unfortunately, but it is a strong rumour that eminates from a couple of leasing companies who obviously have been briefed by someone from Tesla. Basically after the last ship this quarter, which will probably leave in a weeks time, that will be it until May. Which means no deliveries until June!
How true is it? Who knows...

I received an email from Tesla, Leeds last week that said "we have been informed that the next boats are likely to be coming in May rather than April" - adds a bit more to this rumour

Excellent, what a great video.


Thank you for sharing that with us.
I learned that companies are giving £10 back for 5 star reviews.

I own a few e-commerce websites and also have lots of amazon accounts.

I may actually pinch that idea, Well at least look into it further haha

worth my 1:45 haha

keep them coming, we need to pass the time until @Mr Miserable guy in Grimsby wakes up

There were never likely to be boats arriving in April - I wonder whether this misunderstanding is the source of the no deliveries until June rumour....

No boats leaving Pier 80 in April?
Boats leaving Pier 80 in May = 1st Deliveries June....

I love the Lock Picking Lawyer. I've learned more about locks from him than I ever had a right to. But now can advise people, in the minutest detail, why they shouldn't by a particular lock

BROOKLANDS looks like it should be associated with some sort of evil kleptomaniac car collecting Bond Villain.

Monster thing !

Model 3 Buyers

GLOVIS CHALLENGE was delayed several days but arrived Zeebrugge on 18 Feb. Still determining how vehicles will be forwarded to UK.
GRAND MARK looks likely to arrive Zeebrugge late on 22 Feb. This is a day later than originally hoped for.
BROOKLANDS left the Panama Canal earlier today and is showing an ETA of 01:00 on 1 Mar. This is ambitious and it may slip 24 hours. The ship was delayed for 2 days prior to the Panama Canal.
MORNING CARA en route to the Canal ETA 21 Feb. ETA EU ~ 5 Mar
ASIAN KING en route to the Canal ETA 24 Feb. ETA EU ~ 8 Mar
GLOVIS CAPTAIN docks at Pier 80 later tonight ETA EU ~ 13 Mar

MORNING CATHERINE Past form would tend to suggest it will go to the Far East but it could come to EU - no ETA yet but poss ~17 Mar.
I estimated back in early January that we would only get 7 ships this quarter. This is less than the 8 achieved last quarter but compensated to a degree by BROOKLANDS being so much larger than normal. If the rumours of a delay to shipping next quarter are true there may be a push to try and get another shipment done. The MORNING CATHERINE would be the 8th - an amazing achievement if it happens.

There is a suggestion that one ship, MORNING CARA or ASIAN KING, will route direct to Southampton. We won't know that for sure until they leave the Panama Canal.
