OK perhaps I should have been more specific, using battery cells from China.Nope, they use batteries from LG located in Poland, close to German border. I live close this factory

Looking up that factory it comes up as a battery cell factory by LG Chem.
What!!! We’re customers advised of this by Tesla, or did they have to work out for themselves what bits were missing?
I had a family member who received their M3LR in December with this being the case. USB C ports and charging pads were yet to be installed. Was notified of this by the delivery driver on drop off. Service centre team came out to their place of work and installed in less than 10mins.

Over in San Francisco, the 2nd ship of Q2, IRIS ACE has now departed to Taiwan.
I'm not expecting any more ships to call at Pier 80 this quarter.

Tesla cut a steering component from some cars to deal with chip shortage, sources say
Tesla omitted one of two electronic control units in the cars' electrical power assisted steering systems. Tens of thousands of cars are affected, sources say.

His name's Mr Miserable...bit I'm sure he'll take the compliment
Both.
Haitong has two berths for RoRo's and is the principle vehicle import/export port in Shanghai. This is normally incredibly busy with up to 4 ships per day. Delays to dock here can run to over a week and so Tesla also use Hangzhou Bay aka Luchao or Shanghai South. There was a plan for Tesla to develop this facility but it seems those plans have been shelved. The narrow channel has however been dredged and large RoRos can now use it. Loading times are a lot slower than at Haitong with ships taking about 48hrs to load here however it is much closer to the GF and there aren't the delays. Last quarter photos emerged of Tesla using the bulk of the car holding areas for this port and we saw a total of 11 Tesla ships use this facility. It's use is not exclusive to Tesla however and we have already seen two non-Tesla vessels use the facility this month.

Noticed that THRUXTON goes to Southampton via Shanghai arriving within the window a lot of us seem to have been bumped to. Is it a likely candidate or should I just chill for a few weeks?….(i think I know the answer)

Didn’t realise Haitong was that far away from GF3. Logistics of moving cars, each of which has to be driven from the factory, parked, loaded onto transporter, unloaded and parked at the docks and then driven onto the ship is quite incredible, particularly for over 4000 cars per ship. Now I also know why Tesla’s have valet mode. It’s not just for the rich at a hotel!
Good one @Zeit93 . Looks like a previous Tesla Ship in 2021 looking through @Mr Miserable previous posts.
She won't arrive in Shanghai tomorrow (IVORY ARROW and BALTIMORE HIGHWAY will pitch up tomorrow) and I know where she is going (S.Africa) which is probably why I haven't commented on her.
Just sit it out - I'll tell you when to get excited.
PS I know IVORY ARROW is heading to the UK and Zeebrugge but Rule 1 applies - she is not going to be carrying any Teslas.
Rule 1 = Don't get excited until I say so. Stay miserable!

She may have featured as a suspect vessel at one point but she will have been ruled out for some reason or other, as she has never been positively identified by anybody as a Tesla ship at anytime.
