3 'Tesla' ships in the Atlantic today!
It can happen though. This one was full of BMW's. BBC NEWS | Europe | £30m cargo 'lost' as ship sinksIf each ship cost £50m and they each contain 3500 cars @ £35000 average, that would make the insurance claim about £345m.

GLOVIS CENTURY This ship is loaded with the first MIC RHD Model 3s for UK and Ireland. I also believe this will be the only shipment that will arrive in the UK this quarter.
She is making her way northwards 50NM off the coast of Portugal and is currently abeam Porto. The Southampton port schedule has delayed her arrival to the Western Docks a couple of hours to 0530 on Wednesday.
I have no idea of how the cars were shipped to Ireland before Brexit and I have no idea how they will be shipped now. It would be good to know - your friendly Tesla contact may well know the answer and may well reveal it during pillow talk. Good luck Sean!Out of interest, how long after docking in Southampton do shipments normally take to arrive in Ireland? Delivery dates in Ireland start on March 4th so 15 days after docking in Southampton... Seems quite long. Iget the reason for not delivering cars in the UK until March 1st because of licence plate change... But in Ireland the plates change on 1st Jan and 1st July so don't have same restriction
Just had Tesla phone me. They wanted info re: my part exchange. The woman I spoke to said my was in arriving on March 4th and will be ready for March6th, either she really doesn't know much, or another boat is heading over from ShanghaiI have no idea of how the cars were shipped to Ireland before Brexit and I have no idea how they will be shipped now.

Well that's interesting.Just had Tesla phone me. They wanted info re: my part exchange. The woman I spoke to said my was in arriving on March 4th and will be ready for March6th, either she really doesn't know much, or another boat is heading over from Shanghai
I then spoke to a different advisor who said that the computers may not show if they have departed or not. They also confirmed the long range will have a 74kw LG lithium phosphate battery..Well that's interesting.
That timing fits with MORNING CAPO. Her departure from Shanghai ties in with a limited RHD production run too. (I thought it was for AUSNZ only)
The only problem is that she's not heading for Southampton unless her schedule has been changed.
We'll have to wait until she is through the Suez Canal next Monday/Tuesday to find out where she is heading, but MORNING CAPO may be back in the frame.
Thanks for posting the information.
UPDATE: I've just checked her schedule and there is no change, she's due in Zeebrugge on 6 Mar.
Is the LG lithium battery the new type?I then spoke to a different advisor who said that the computers may not show if they have departed or not. They also confirmed the long range will have a 74kw LG lithium phosphate battery..
Is the LG lithium battery the new type?
Tesla battery supplier LG Chem shares jump 10% on upbeat outlookLFP are the new batteries, which seems to go against everything i've read so far saying the long range will not have them.
Guess we won't know till they arrive. But there are pros and cons to both batteries so it is what it is.
Tesla battery supplier LG Chem shares jump 10% on upbeat outlook
From the article:
LG Chem said its batteries have an edge over the cheaper, LFP batteries from Chinese rival and Tesla supplier CATL, saying the latter’s lower energy density makes it difficult to be used for longer-range, large cars.
“The LFP batteries can be used in relatively short-range cars which are sensitive to prices... We believe that our nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries can be mainstream globally,” said Chang Seung-se, senior vice president at LG Chem, referring to its nickel-based batteries.
