2020 Shipping Movements

[Jhangz]

For all the people leasing, some info I have found thanks to a post earlier in this thread:

cars will be delivered direct to customers so no need to wait in service centre. This willl be at a small cost, might not make huge differences to existing quotes.

cars will be taken from the port to a ‘staging’ location - Southampton, Chipping Warden or Carlisle where they will be prepped. They will then be driven to customers. Most will arrive with less than 150 miles, depends on your delivery address location to the nearest staging location.

2 days before delivery you will get a link to track your car as it makes its way to you...best part of this change!

cars should arrive with min 30% of charge

I was also told what others have posted here, if my car isn’t delivered in March then the earliest date will be June!

For all people leasing? This is contrary to what I've been told so far

From what I understand it’s new orders only I.e. June deliveries. I have specifically asked not to have this service, I live no where near those places and don’t want a new car delivered with over 100 miles on it.

Ah, June! What company are you, or thinking of, leasing with?

 

[Jhangz]

I’m on a company car scheme managed by lex.

Same here, although I haven't been told anything by Tusker since December regarding the collection process. One thing is for certain, I will not be accepting any modifications to the agreed price in my contract with Tusker whether they deliver the car to my door or not.

Does it matter if it has 100 miles on it? I would understand if you owned the vehicle outright but if it's leased anyway? (To be clear, your leasing co should only be measuring your annual mileage after this initial amount - they should be taking a record of it. That's how it worked for my currently leased car which was driven 100 miles to me!

For Lex this applies to all deliveries from March onwards

No, it matters very little. I haven't had a lease car that I've collected yet, so most have arrived with anything up to 500 miles on.

Anyway, shall we continue this in Model 3 Orders and Deliveries?

FWIW. I just called the port of Zeebrugge and there are no restrictions in force.

This made me chuckle, thanks How ridiculous is it that we're all tracking boats and ringing up ports, etc.

We'll be trying to get an "in" on the boat crews next to get real time updates.

Another theory is that the relationship between the local handler and Tesla soured (Elon has criticized local operations before) and that maybe the former is flexing its muscle in the discussions. Last quarter ships going straight for Amsterdam against previously communicated plans may be circumstantial evidence about a less ideal relationship. It would also explain timing : things get smoother over as soon as us executives can weigh in (we know local Tesla representatives have zero decision power)

The phone number is mentioned on their website. Don’t know though if they speak English if anyone wants to verify independently.

I wonder whether this effects already scheduled deliveries?

 

[Solvipants]

Once unloaded from the ship the container will go to Tilburg. The container is emptied and your car is reassembled there.
Still some time to go......

How do the cars then get to the UK? Any idea on timescale?
Am I going to have to watch another ship?
