Blast from the past - GLOVIS COSMOS left Barcelona recently and now heading for Suez Canal - remember discussion around those 1000 Dubai-allocated vehicles ? Could be on their way ....

I spoke to Stockport today for an update as mine was on Challenge and down to collect 5th March. Location is currently Zeebrugge apparently so your theory sounds likely indeed. I’m thinking I’ll be getting the delay text soon too.Your'e not the only person with that complaint and I wonder whether they only managed to get some of the GLOVIS CHALLENGE cars off the dock and into Southampton early. Some made it - I have no doubt as there are people who have taken delivery today but some cars, like yours, may have had to wait for the GRAND MARK.
I’ve got a strange feeling my model x delivery may get severely shafted by the reaction to this coronavirus. A case confirmed in Tilburg today is particularly ironic ! My wife says I should be more concerned about people’s health. I said “ love, it’s a Model X Performance” she was even appalled by that , honestly, women
It looks like the pilot has arrived for GRAND MARK!
I guess it depends if it's been using the bio-weapon defence filters?More importantly, does the car need Norton Anti Virus before delivery?

Yey!
Elon Musks massive bonus is dependant on a succession of profitable quarters, no way they will let payments shift quarters if it is humanly possible to prevent it!That is not the way an American company works. The aim will be for invoices to be raised for each and every vehicle and to have received full settlement of as many of them as possible by 31 Mar. Some deliveries may possibly drift into April (those that insist in taking delivery after Apr 6) but they will have been paid for in March.
Just got the Delivery text. 12th March from Stockport (Manchester). Currently VIN matched to vehicle on Brooklands.
Another not very patient waiter here. Seems things have changed since my Long Wait in 2017 when I took delivery of my Model S 90D. I've ordered a new Model S Performance and my hidden VIN appeared last weekend, I spotted it Sunday morning (23rd) having last checked on the Friday morning.
I know 3 years ago all the cars went from Fremont via train to Houston then onto a ship across to Europe then Tilburg. I see now that there are ships travelling direct from California to Europe and into either Zeebrugge, Antwerp or even direct to Southampton.
Do all the S and X still travel via Houston and still come via Tilburg? Anyone able to hazard a guess which ship my car might be on?
Thanks Mr M. Next question is at what stage do they allocate the VIN? Is it when the car leaves the factory or is it once it's on a ship? ISTR the rail journey from Fremont to Houston used to take up to 10 days? Trying to work out which ship mine's likely to be on with VIN allocated 21-23 February. My Tesla page source contains "copyOverride":"March" and knowing Tesla they will make sure I get the car before end of quarter so the Iowa seems a bit too late.Model S & X still use that same supply route.
MAERSK OHIO departed Houston 17 Feb ETA Rotterdam 2 Mar
SAFMARINE MAFARDI departed Houston 26 Feb ETA Rotterdam 9 Mar
MAERSK MONTANA Departs Houston 3 Mar Arr Rotterdam 16 Mar
MAERSK IOWA Departs Houston 8 Mar Arr Rotterdam 23 Mar - may not have Tesla cargo
Not reliably. Back in the day there was antidotal evidence that the VINs got assigned as the ship went through the Panama Canal so one could deduce from that but not these days.Is there any way to identify what boat a car is on without asking Tesla?
