2020 Shipping Movements

[ICE-FREE]

After four months and six days I have a Dartford delivery date and time 6th Mch. @10.30 I wonder if any on Mr Ms forum will be joining me on that day.
Can I thank Mr.M for his information, grand sense of humour and general overview for us mere mortals awaiting our precious delivery times. It has been very educational I never dreamt buying a car could be as entertaining as it has been although often frustrating, my erindoors thinks I am barmy probably not the only one I guess. My mates keep saying in a sarcastic manner "got your Tesla yet" lol.

This works better if you have a P, but I suspect will be fine in any of them:

No need to warm-the-engine of course ...

Park at the front of a row of cars (i.e. clear view for departure).

Assign Fart Mode to one of the seats, and assign to BUTTON (rather than TURN SIGNAL).

Get your mates into the car. Most verbal "Got your Tesla yet" in the Hot Seat.

"Everyone ready?" ... press button ... "REALLY ...."

Then when mirrors are clear, and nothing on road ahead to get in your way, full-power. Then pull over and get the Humble Pie out and give everyone a slice ...

If not from-kerbside then my preference is stop on main straight road. Count down 5, 4, 3, and then take off at that point continuing counting 2, 1, "60"

Might be worth a dress rehearsal when only you are in the car

Oh ... and my biggest wish: that I had had a passenger-facing CAM during those early Demo Rides to record face expression and expletives. If you fancy that then add to your "buy before car accessories list"

Let me know the outcome please.

MORNING CARA just popped up on AIS (unusual because it's not near land)
She still has 2436 nm to run but is running on time to arrive at Zeebrugge on 5 Mar

We've not discussed any further vessels leaving Pier 80 bound for Europe this quarter, are we confirmed that Glovis Captain is the last chance saloon for a car this side of June?

I very much think so.
I'll do a bit of digging tomorrow, when I have time, to see if I can unearth some future movements but there is nothing leaping out at me.
The only other option is a shipment direct from the east coast but I haven't seen any key indicators for that activity yet.

There's not been too much chat about Asian King... I assume she is on track and just doing her thing to get the Zee on schedule (7th Mar)???

 

[LongRanger]

ASIAN KING has passed through the Mona Passage and is showing as crossing the North Atlantic at 17-18 knots, about to go out of normal tracking range for a while - just doing her thing by the looks of it

 

[Mr Miserable]

GRAND MARK is doing what it's good at, holding off the coast.
Southampton have revised her pilot RV to 18:45 at Nab Tower.
Sometime later today then....

 

[Aye_Watt]

She's steaming ahead now. Go on my son !

Hi All, new member here! I ordered a Model 3 LR in White with Black interior on 17th December with Leeds as allocated delivery centre. It’s a company car and I actually work for the Lease Co, I spoke to Tesla and they confirmed my car is on Morning Cara so I have been tracking it intently! I was told I’d been allocated a car around the 10th Feb.

Cannot wait to get the car, never been so excited about a new car before!

Unfortuneately the GRAND MARK is a master of the dummy run!
She has just done a swift 180 in what seems to be a deliberate attempt to demoralize you.

The car is OK, it's the waiting that's fun.
