2020 Shipping Movements

It looks like GLOVIS SONIC has decided not to stop in Hueneme (LA) and is now enroute to Benicia.
Although she has not updated her AIS with the new destination I can confirm that it is Benicia.

It's certainly different to when I ordered my S in Oct '16. I had a VIN allocated immediately and then had periodic notifications e.g. when the car went into production and when it had left the factory for the slow rail ride to Houston. it was exactly 8 weeks from leaving Fremont to collection.
@Vedaprime to the best of your knowledge are the VIN's for S/X allocated once the car is mid way across the Pond, as they seem to be for the 3?
As pointed out by @Vedaprime Model S/X to Europe are shipped differently.
They are transported by container from the Oakland Joint Intermodal Terminal by rail to Texas.
This terminal is also used to ship by sea to Aus/NZ/Hong Kong by container ships.

European parts Shipments are going out via Houston mostly, although Q2 had some out of Savannah.
Megapacks and powerpacks typically come out of Oakland or Houston.
Superchargers typically come out of Norfolk, Charleston, Long Beach, Los Angeles or Long Beach

Ignore that post - I was talking rubbish.
GLOVIS SONIC has now arrived at Hueneme.
Next stop is Benicia, tomorrow evening.

The STENA SUNRISE has just taken up residence at Pier 80.
No plan for an imminent departure and the port schedule says she'll be there until Monday.

No if only because it's an oil tanker.
I mention it purely because it's blocking the pier.
I seem to recall @Mr Miserable discounting Comet a few days back but am sure he’ll share his wisdom shortly. I too spoke to Tesla delivery yesterday and they told me that a lot of cars were going to be available weekly in a couple of weeks so hopefully we get some news soon...
She was in Durban back at start of June before calling various European ports - I'd assume she probably isn't carrying Teslas.
The GLOVIS COMET is not of any interest to us.
I am assuming you are talking about Model 3?
If cars are being shipped from Fremont via Pier 80 I would not expect anything in the UK until early August.
If your man in the delivery team is correct, then this would indicate the possibility of Tesla repeating what they did last quarter of shipping by rail to the east coast and then by ship from there. It's a 9 day sea crossing and then you have to add the time for the rail journey. Mid July is a bit unlikely, even by this route though.
I have someone keeping an eye on the Milpitas railhead at the moment for precisely this activity.
Another ship of interest has appeared on my radar - NOCC OCEANIC.
It's not going to be free to head to Pier 80 for a while as I can see it is busy until at least 16 July.
This is a few days before GLOVIS SUNRISE is due to arrive in the area.

There are no indications yet of Tesla using a fast transit route to EU by shipping via a port on the eastern seaboard, but it is still early days.
Nothing has been reported at the likely railhead and no likely ships have been found on the schedules at the most likely ports.

FIRST SHIP OF Q3
GLOVIS SONIC is to start loading at Pier 80 on Tuesday morning.
Lack of activity at the Milpitas railhead and the sighting of many transporters heading to Pier 80 with Euro style plates would tend to indicate that the ship will be heading for the EU.

Amazing
assuming that’s the case would you say possible best case late July for delivery? Or definitely into August?Similar threads
