That is interesting and it's quite a haul too. I wonder whether Model 3s off this ship are being parked with the rest of the Model 3s?

2020 Shipping Movements
- Thread starter Mr Miserable
- Start date
No I've just checked her schedule - Abu Dhabi on 19th and Jebel Ali on 20th
I've heard the rumours too. I'm led to believe that LHD M3s for EU will be the initial priority.
It makes sense for RHD cars to be exported from China to serve Aus/Nz/Japan but I'm not entirely convinced that UK will feature. Shame because I reckon the build quality will be better. If I assume that the Tesla business principle of only shipping if you can deliver in the same quarter is maintained then we shouldn't see anything until next month. If the UK is to feature then I would expect all shipments to be made in October because of the 6 weeks in transit. This will only exacerbate the feast or famine nature of Tesla deliveries and so I hope that it is unlikely for the entire Model 3 range. I'm still a little unsure whether GF2 is producing the entire Model 3 range. I understand that Model Y for Europe will be supplied from China until GF 4 is online.
Additionally, I wonder whether rail transport is viable. It would certainly be faster than by sea but would require a considerable investment in rolling stock unless the cars are shipped in containers. I'm not confident Tilburg is in the right place or scaled to handle such an influx either.
Anyway, I shall be keeping an eye on Shanghai next month but the shipments will be difficult to identify and I think recruiting a dock spy there could be a challenge.
GLOVIS CORONA She arrived at Pier 80 yesterday evening . She will depart around lunchtime today. My guess is she will head to Shanghai.
GRAND CHOICE According to the San Francisco port schedule she was meant to arrive at Pier 80 today however she is actually now enroute back to Korea from Vancouver. That hasn’t stopped the astonishingly unreliable San Francisco Chronicle reporting her arrival and departure which just goes to show that you can’t believe everything you read in the papers.

Star, thank you. I'll been keeping an eye on this thread to see if there's anything changing. My order is being released mid October, crossing my fingers for it to be shipped from China. But we'll have to see. Thank you for your work!
I'm not so sure that will happen. GF4 is only about 6 months behind GF3 in Y production; and I believe Elon said Europe will have to await GF4 for Y's; and I haven't read elsewhere that Tesla might send Y's to Europe from Shanghai.
Thursday delivery for me as well. Never had a single email, call or SMS from them until the delivery date was set, now I get an SMS every day. Got the Reg number txt this afternoon.
No. She is not coming to Europe, and whatever she loaded it only took a couple of hours to load. I doubt Vancouver is her final destination.
Caught 5 Trailers packed with Models 3’s and a few X and S at the A34 services today. Went to have a little peek
I collect my model 3 AWD LR tomorrow so will not frequent this page in the future. I will though remember with gratitude the efforts to expertly daily brief us from Mr M. Thank you for making the last few weeks bearable. Many thanks.

What’s the situation with M3 inventory stock? I’m hoping for a fresh influx of M3LRs (or at least one to replace the faulty one I was supposed to collect tomorrow - not bitter, I promise*...)
* well, maybe a little bit!

Tomorrow may see an influx of cars to Southampton (mostly from the GLOVIS CLIPPER) as the AUTOSTAR unloads.

Thank you as always for the information, MM.
Do you or anyone else happen to know the protocol for adding vehicles to the inventory page? Are they added in transit or upon arrival at a SC? Does anyone know?
I was told they were added when they get shipped and there would be no more added this quarter unless it is a cancellation.
I have ordered mine and currently "November" timelines. I am intrigued if that will bring any changes to it

I spotted six transporters loaded with M3s yesterday morning, all going north on the A34 as I was heading south.
