2021 Shipping Movements

[Mr Miserable]

I had a chat to Tesla this morning and they mentioned a VIN was allocated and confirmed my vehicle is on the first ship, any ideas what ship has already left Shanghai?

Thanks for posting this. I take it you got the impression from Tesla that the ship has sailed and is on the way.
If anybody else is speaking to Tesla do please try and get the name of the ship or when it is expected to arrive in Southampton or when to expect delivery.
Then, most importantly, let me know please!

Yeah certainly got impression it's on its way, I tried for a ship name but unwilling to give it up saying head office will have that info but not us. But did say it's on its way from Shanghai. No arrival date given I'm afraid

 

[Mr Miserable]

No idea why my previous post looks so weird...

Yes
Yes I can see ALTAIR LEADER is coming to Europe - hence my interest in her but importantly I can't find her current itinerary which may suggest she is chartered.

Vessel Tracking by Name From Japanese Shipping Companies this is what I could find

I am fascinated by this thread.. yes, I have my M3, so why do I read it every day? It is like a never ending detective story, frequently with a surprising twist. Far better reading than the general media!

The only problem is that depending on which website you use the itineraries of ALTAIR LEADER and ASTERIA LEADER are the same! Just to complicate the issue!!

I've just spoken with Tesla on the chat, They've text me the VIN and confirmed the car is on route on a ship - Wouldn't give me the ship name so I asked for an ETA for the ship to arrive in the UK and they said 'Its too early to tell which is why we haven't started scheduling deliveries yet'

When did you place your order? Just interested as I placed mine 1st October and haven’t heard anything yet
Thanks

Think it was around the 28th August from memory - got all the forms from my lease company the same day and the order was 'confirmed' with Lex and finance was approved on 1st October.

Yeah, there's not much to be found on the ALTAIR, almost all schedules I can find mention only the ASTERIA.

They don't seem to give out this information anymore, mainly because they "don't know". Whether that's true or not is another story, but the person I spoke to on the phone told me they're no longer given the names of the ships. It makes sense as no one else has been told what ship either.

Either they no longer see this information, of they've changed their policy to not share it out.

 

[Chris1981]

I spoke to Tesla earlier I still don't have a VIN but he said there are more ships coming to the UK this quarter than ever before.

 

[NoIceButEV]

I have expected delivery in december of a TM3LR. Tesla told me that it is MIUS.
In Denmark the range is 614km WLTP. In UK the range is 580km WLTP.
I guess it means that all LR to UK are MIC and all LR to rest of EU are MIUS.
So we can expect boats from SFO to Zeebrugge at the end of Q4.

We don’t know that yet. There is a rumour there is a new battery that will give the extended range for mainland Europe vehicles but the UK will continue with the old one for a while longer (or is software locked to the lower range).

Mr Miserable is keeping an eye on the US though just in case they are going to start shipping to Europe again from there.

 

[Chris1981]

Tesla told me today that only Shanghai produces RHD cars now. US no longer produces any apparently

 

[Mr Miserable]

ALTAIR LEADER is scrubbed from the watch list, she's off to Thailand.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Over in California RCC TIANJIN is making her way to Pier 80 and should arrive alongside in the small hours (local) of Wednesday morning.
She won't be staying long, I understand it is only a 24 hr stop.
Destination will likely be Taiwan or S Korea, or both.

 

[Mr Miserable]

I note that LAKE GENEVA has joined the waiting throng off Shanghai. Since she has been chartered by Tesla on at least 3 occasions I will be very interested to learn where she is heading to.

Meanwhile, LAKE FUXIAN is on the move and heading up the Yangtze River. She also has been chartered by Tesla in the past.

 

[RobM24]

My lease company has today said “literally a boat load are on their way as we speak” I’ve asked them if they or their contact at Lex have the boat name but I’m not holding my breath!

Edit: they’ve emailed back saying they don’t get given that information

 

[Bertiebasset]

Spoke with tesla again and they've confirmed my car is on the boat and the boat is already on its way to Southampton. Sorry I couldn't get the boat name off them but nice to know its at sea somewhere.
