If even that's possible for dock 104 - the DEMETER LEADER is planned in for 21st pm?
After such a speedy crossing and then turnaround at Zeebrugge, it's a potential English cock up!
The date I was given was the earliest the car would arrive at the service centre (Leeds) not a delivery date. The Tesla guy said that I would be notified about delivery sometime in the two weeks before week commencing 6 April. Not sure that helps in determining when it might be shipped from Tilburg to the UK. It's not a lease order.
Seems to have been allocated 105 (provisionally) but no earlier.
I really hope not.

Ever the optimist me but I see Belgium is going into stricter lockdown tomorrow midday, similar to France, Spain, Italy etc.
With the Glovis Captain being delayed, for deliveries off that ship (me amongst others!) I suspect it is now a race here against whatever turns out to be collection day versus UK locking down further such that the Tesla delivery centres are closed and travel to them is prohibited anyway. Important to retain a sense of perspective I think, many are suffering far worse than my having a new car delayed for a bit.
Hopefully I'll be proved wrong...

I see, I think the government do want businesses to continue to operate but with extreme caution. It looks like from some of the posts with collections today, they are doing individual handovers and taking further steps to reduce risks.
I've got a collection next week too so this may just be wishful thinking on my part.

I suspect it will all depend how the numbers pan out over the next few days and whether folk are seen to be heeding advice or whether stricter measures are needed. In the continental lockdowns people can still travel to work if working at home is not an option (assuming you don’t work somewhere that is specifically closed, cafes, shops, restaurants etc), but journeys outside of that are very restricted... to supermarkets, doctor, hospital only sort of thing. That’s what would stop collections probably for the duration of the restrictions.
Sensible head would say, it's a good thing if it get's delayed as I can understand a bit more about my work impact and whether I'm going to have an issue to afford it now. Kid inside says gimme the keys! Well, card
Its probably why it moved and anchored off UK shores. More likely to get the cars delivered from its current position. If it can get them onto dry land even better.
Either way they arent far. I can wait a bit longer under the circumstances...
Well I'm counting on mine this month for corporation tax write off.
I'm not saying I don't think the additional precautions and the safety of the workers should be compromised mind. If it gets worse with infections I perfectly understand a delay.

New clothing requirements for all car collections
I gave them a call and spoke to a friendly guy who volunteered the information.
Me too but if worst comes to worst we still get the corp tax benefit next tax year (although I think it would be more useful this year...)
