No as I posted before, the Challenge is due to pick up some VWs at Emden on 20 Feb so I don't think so.
It also hasn't appeared on the Southampton port schedule.
UPDATE
Actually I told a porky, The Challenge is due in to Southampton on 24 Feb but I think this visit is not Tesla associated. It will have already loaded in Emden & Bremerhaven and then its off to Baltimore.

so... some theories ....
Cosmos may have a higher proportion of UK RHD vehicles than LHD for Netherlands/Germany demand, it certainly did not raise up that much in the water after Zeebrugge docking.
Challenge may be the opposite (or not as the case may be)
Grand Mark ... not sure on forecast schedule of ports
Brooklands ... same
Do we know how long Cosmos has at Southampton ? - may have already been stated.

Cosmos moves to another dock at 4 this afternoon to load for its Middle East run.
BROOKLANDS will have lots of cars - it's very big and was loading for over 3 days. It's due into Southampton on 6 Mar but hopefully that date may move left

.. been playing around with calcs on shipping weights and data from Southampton arrival/post-unload for Cosmos
Best I can come up with for Glovis Cosmos on very limited info is
Up to 1700 LHD vehicles unloaded at Zeebrugge
Up to 1700 RHD vehicles being unloaded at Southampton today
Assumption of 1000 cars going to Dubai
Gives 4400 Model 3's on the Cosmos this time around, assuming 50 percent are SR+ and the rest split between LR and P
Cosmos is rated at 6070 "Average vehicle units" overall capacity from a source on the Hyundai-Glovis website.
Due to these vehicles being obviously heavier than a standard "small saloon shipping unit" (thanks @Mr Miserable), these number start to get more reasonable compared to the theoretical 6070, as each car is on average 1750 kilos compared to 1300-1400 for a "small saloon"
If we said a boat of the Cosmos size was roughly 4500 vehicles max we might not be too far off. At least not a completely impossible margin of error.

Just looking at the progress of GLOVIS CHALLENGE.
It should make Brixham about 4am which is ahead of the worst of the weather.

Can anyone update with more photos from Cosmos unload at Southampton, the ones this morning were great but can we get an idea if there are well over a thousand vehicles being vomited onto the docks ?

First post from me
I ordered an M3 LR Black/Black on 26/1/20 (cash with a part-ex) for collection at Solihull. The hidden VIN appeared yesterday so I gave Tesla a call this afternoon. They confirmed I had a car allocated, described the shipping process (via Zeebrugge etc) and that I should expect delivery in the first half of March. I asked which ship I was on and I was told, a bit hesitantly, it was the Morning Cara. That would tally with the VINs being allocated not long after leaving SF.

I thought about moving my collection to Solihull, but the sales advisors there told me to pick up at Birmingham as I would have a better Tesla experience.

Ordered M3P blue / white on 25/1, hidden vin appeared today! I’m also assuming Morning Cara. Looking at shipping timings hoping for a middle of March for delivery. That will be about 8 week delivery time. I don’t think that is too bad, we waited 12 weeks for a Citroen ds3.
Will call tomorrow to try and confirm the vin.
So for those people like me wanting to make the most of the new BIK rules and hoping for an April delivery (I requested no earlier than 6th April), it looks like GLOVIS CAPTAIN or GRAND DAHLIA (if EU bound) seem to be the most likely ships
You might get lucky, but it’s probably more likely you’ll get a June delivery if delaying until then.
