UTC perhaps. But local time was the 12th, so I got my text within 12 hours of departure.
I think we can strike DIONYSOS LEADER from the list - she's heading off to India from Singapore.
I believe Tesla are testing the Model 3 in India currently. It's a RHD country too. Not sure if they would transport test vehicles with customer orders, but if they do its a possibility. This would also create the delay required to align with a ~10th September arrival in the UK.
Yes - I'm struggling to find an alternative to DIONYSOS LEADER at the moment.
The port she is heading to in India is also a very unusual stop for a car carrier. When RoRo's stop at these sort of ports it's usually to pick up or drop off specialised cargo eg helicopters, military vehicles or manufacturing equipment. This part of Gujarat is a centre for Tuk Tuk manufacturing rather than traditional cars. It's also nowhere near the rumoured location proposed for the Tesla India GF.
Given these are fully built they can probably land anywhere as would be sold as is I assume, most of these cars would be sold in Delhi and Mumbai as biggest markets which would make sense with landing in Gujrat. also India has 100% import duty on imported cars so only a few fully imported cars actually come in and those are mostly luxury/sports cars from europe so there is not much else which can come in from China, and there is rumour that Tesla EVs might see a waiver on 100% import duty as some sort of subsidy for setting up the India GF.
Anyhow all speculation at the moment!
Scrap that theory , looks like its actually loading 350 vehicles from India, so would be interesting whats the next port of call is, as most indian car exports actually goto ME and Africa from what I know.
This is serious detective work going on haha.
Are Tesla ships usually charted by and exclusively for Tesla, or do we see them share the service?
We know DIONYSOS LEADER is heading for Europe and based on the 19th September departure from Zeebrugge, she can't be making many more stops.
haha, thanks to Tesla for making this happen! the tracking might be more enjoyable than when eventually I do get the car!
GLOVIS SUMMIT continues to make progress towards Southampton and looks to be on schedule to arrive there on Sunday night. She needs to keep the speed up though. The weather looks fine for the remainder of her voyage.
GLOVIS COMPANION is now in the sheltered waters of the Gulf of Aden and is able to make up for lost time in the choppy Arabian Sea. She is due to arrive off Suez on Saturday afternoon which will be easily achieved at her present rate of over 18kts. She appears to have vehicles for both UK and EU on board and so could head to either Southampton or Zeebrugge, I estimate 30 Aug or 31 Aug respectively.
LAKE GENEVA's speed has dropped to under 15 kts as she battles the choppy Arabian Sea. She is due to arrive off Suez a week today and should be easily achievable with the calm waters ahead. I estimate she should arrive in Zeebrugge around 4 Sep.
DIONYSOS LEADER has entered the Straits of Malacca enroute to the Indian port of Pipavav. She remains on the watch list for the moment but there is no firm evidence to support she has Teslas onboard, just a suspicion.
Over in Shanghai ELEKTRA is preparing to depart. She is due to arrive in Zeebrugge on 14 Sep. So far there is nothing indicate she has Tesla cargo on board - a flurry of European Tesla VIN allocations in the next 24 hrs might suggest she has.
GRAND RUBY will be taking her place alongside and she also will be heading to the EU.
MORNING COMPOSER will be heading initially to Singapore but I have yet to determine where she will head to after that.
GLOVIS SPLENDOR, a prime suspect for sometime, sadly continues to languish offshore.
Tropical Depression 16 that was forecast to develop into a typhoon turned out to be a damp squib and is filling rapidly and no longer poses a threat.

Tesla have told me mine will arrive in the UK on the 10th September and arrive in Manchester on the 14th September. But I'm taking those with a pinch of salt as it's unclear which ship its on.
How long is a piece of string? Anything from 2-3 days upwards. Non-Tesla leases can take a bit longer.
I agree, Looking at the shipping update from Mr Miserable I would say either Glovis Summit or Glovis Companion look the favourites.
