Thanks!
Enjoy the car - I still get a thrill driving mine over a year later.

So your car is on the Platinum Ray too? I’m picking mine up from Dartford at 10:30 on the 21st
Same date and time but from Heathrow for my collection! Presumably it's also on the Platinum Ray - no date had been showing until about 7pm last night... just relieved to have been finally given a collection date / time!
Just hope all the cars headed to Newark have not been damaged if they've been on a train / in transit from the west coast to the east coast!
They haven’t told me the ship details. But it might be on the PR
Good luck!
Thanks for all the useful info in this thread!
I spoke to Tesla earlier today and was told my car was in Zeebrugge, I presume that means it’s on the RCC Asia and hitting the U.K. tomorrow morning? They still couldn’t say anything about the delivery date except that it would be in September, which seems odd? I would’ve thought it would be fairly soon!

For those waiting, the GLOVIS CLIPPER is within terrestrial range on marinetraffic.com.
She is approaching the entrance to the Panama Canal where she will drop anchor and wait to be called forward in the wee small hours to the first set of locks - Miraflores.
There is quite a queue at the moment, I hope Glovis bought the queuebuster pass.

I think it is unrelated to Tesla. Personally, I think the Tesla contract was complete at Zeebrugge.
Of concern is the fact that GLOVIS CLIPPER is still waiting in the anchorage to be called forward for her canal transit.
This is very unusual - a ship races at full speed for days to get to the canal and then just sits and waits?
I'm pretty sure the phone lines to Panama are about to get red hot....

GLOVIS CLIPPER is finally on the move and heading for Miraflores locks - that's about a 7 hour delay so far.
Last chance to enter the GLOVIS CLIPPER competition!

RCC Asia has just arrived into Southampton and minutes later I received an email from Tesla confirming my collection for this coming Tuesday. So to me this confirms to me that the RCC Asia did have my M3 on board all along as Tesla told me a month ago.
RCC ASIA arrived in Southampton earlier this morning.
GLOVIS SIGMA She successfully made her way through the Mona Passage last night and is now in the Atlantic. Her position at midday today is shown on the chart below. As expected she has opened the throttle and is maintaining nearly 19 kts at the moment. Tropical Depression Omar is currently to the east of Bermuda at the moment but is forecast to track to the north now and no further east and so should not pose a threat to GLOVIS SIGMA in the next 24 hours. Her ETA in Zeebrugge is late evening of 12 Sep.
GLOVIS CLIPPER She arrived on time at the entrance to the Panama Canal last night after a very fast transit from Pier 80. I was expecting her to transit the canal early this morning however she only got called forward a couple of hours ago and is only now entering Miraflores lock. There is some nasty weather in the central Caribbean halfway between the canal exit and the Mona Passage which may encourage her to go for the Windward Passage to enter the Atlantic. She is due to arrive in Zeebrugge on 16 Sep which is easily achievable. She is not due to depart until 14:00 on 17 Sep and so if she is coming to Southampton it will be on 18 Sep.
The GLOVIS CLIPPER competition is now closed.
No more ships will load at Pier 80 until October.
Tesla have sent a shipment by rail to Newark for shipment to Europe from there.
PLATINUM RAY is the ship being used to transport the cars to Europe and she continues to load at Newark. No departure details are yet known but assuming 3 days to load probably means a Saturday night departure and arrival in Zeebrugge around 14th and Southampton around 16th. These dates will be firmed up once she departs Newark.
Enter the PLATINUM RAY competition! It’ll close when she departs NEWARK.
