2020 Shipping Movements

[Jibjab]

That's an unusual wait for 2020. Ask your leasing company for the Tesla RN.(Reservation number) Leasing companies have been known to sit on orders so that they can consolidate them and I presume get some sort of discount. With an RN to quote you are likely to get more info from Tesla on the status of your car. Worth asking when the order was placed with them so that you can beat the leasing company with it if, as sounds likely, they sat on it.

Am I right in thinking no RN = no order had been placed?

 

[Mr Miserable]

I have zero knowledge on ports but the position of TIRRANNA in Shanghai seems relatively far away from GF3 + the parking places Tesla seems to be using (screen capture from this video):

There is a vehicle carrier docked right next to the Nangang Wharf Parking Lot though, the AN JI 26. Is that one on your radar or does that seem to be unlikely?

I don't consider AN JI 26 as a likely intercontinental carrier. She seems to be busy enough with domestic trade.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Yes. There is an orders & deliveries thread though

Some rumors online, that a ship already arrived in Athens (Titus) with M3s for Europe. She's continuing to Zeebrugge now. https://twitter.com/FMossotto/status/1317737085336457216

Found an expected vessel arrival date for an LRW model in the source code of the inventory page!

ExpectedVesselArrivalDate"2020-11-26T00:00:00"

Heading to Zeebrugge.

Great find!
Detail duly noted. Likely that the ship has yet to depart.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Meanwhile over at Pier 80 the loading continues with no sign of an imminent departure.
According to an irregular source who 'happened to be passing by' it could be Tuesday before RCC ANTWERP is ready to depart.

Is it mainly Model 3s that is loaded on to Antwerp and if so are they "refreshed" ? Sorry if it has been asked before

It is only Model 3 (maybe the odd S/X for Switzerland). Indications are that they are refreshed. Cars for Norway are unloaded in Zeebrugge and then go by train to Drammen.

 

[jorgenask]

Hopefully a good few hundred of them will go to Norway then so I can get mine although its only about a week ago since I ordered

I remain to be convinced on this one I'm afraid.
It shouldn't take long to verify though.
A lot of Chinese money has been invested into Athens and the rail link through the Balkans (although I'm not aware that the upgrades are close to complete). This was to develop container transport though.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Don’t suppose you have a link to the video?

It looks like a Wu Wa video. It may have only been released to subscribers at the moment, but it's out there.
I'm pretty sure it will appear on his site shortly.

 

[LongRanger]

Ships and shipping (maybe trains also) !!

- please help Mr Miserable keep this thread tidy and put reservation / spec discussions into their correct threads elsewhere !

 

[Vedaprime]

On the Tesla Model 3 new inventory pages the URL will begin with the country of manufacture where cars are marked in Transit (5YJ - US, LRW - China)

It is is looking like left hand drive SR+ is from China for Europe.

Long Range, performance, and all right hand drive coming from Fremont.

 

[Scan Man]

There's a rumour that China are exporting some M3 to France even though Elon said they wouldn't be, not sure if they are planning on RHD or not. I wonder if these will be by ship?

I have repeatedly stated that I understand that the MIC M3 will be LHD only for Q4.

Departure or at least removal of pier 80 of rcc antwerp seems to happen right now, two guides are right next to it

I think they are just teasing us! I did wonder if they were waiting for a tide, but looks like SF port is a deep enough from my limited googling. Hopefully someone who's watched before can say if this is normal.

Difficult to find out what is happening, since it's 2am there!
She is not due to leave until Tuesday evening.
It's not weather related (when tugs called to assist when it's windy) because the weather is fine.
I'm hoping it's not a fire or anything serious but it's definitely not normal.

UPDATE. I don't think it's a fire since the fireboat has not responded.

Please excuse the ignorance, but how do you know this is going on? Can you share a link? Thanks
