It's protective film for shipping! You can see it more clearly here:Interesting that these model 3s in this video got chrome all around windows.
Isn't it the thing that they removed chrome in late 2021 models and for and 2022??

Lurking offshore is GLOVIS COMPANION
Just Google 'Flags of convenience'This isn't relevant to anything, but I'm curious why she sails under the Liberian flag? Seems so random to an outsider.

I’m sure Glovis is the first ship with RHD Y’s on it for Southampton as the date would line up with my 10/02/22 delivery date.Loading in Shanghai at the moment is MORNING CLARA. This ship will be heading to Australia and I expect Tesla to use her.
This is a good indication that RHD is in production at the moment.
Lurking offshore is GLOVIS COMPANION and she is now on my watch list.
How do you have a delivery date? I have not managed to get confirmation from Tesla, but am expecting my M3RWD in February too.What’s this?

My model y was ordered via leaseplan as it is a company car. Leaseplan sent out emails before Christmas confirming delivery dates (home delivery) to myself and a colleague of 10/02/22 and 11/02/22 (both same standard spec). We have both contacted leaseplan who have confirmed that this date came directly from Tesla; a Tesla rep at Bristol confirmed that the date is in line with what they are being told but he can’t confirm a VIN yet and that leaseplan may have landed a group of the first deliveries as he knows that they had a lot of us lined up to order.How do you have a delivery date?

That's really good to know. I guess it's possible my M3RWD is on the same shipment. I have been dealing with Bristol too although my lease is direct through Tesla/ALD. Might be worth chasing them to see if they can confirm also? Thanks!My model y was ordered via leaseplan as it is a company car.

I think that Gracious Ace is out of the running. Looks like this is elsewhere now.Mr M, I see there are a number of vehicle carrier vessels at an anchorage off Shanghai (assuming that the positions are up to date).
In your experience is this often the case? or is it a case of preparing to ship as much as possible pre- Chinese New Year?
I see:
Goodwood
Daedalus Leader
Capricornus Leader
Hoegh Target
Hoegh Traveller
Glovis Stella
Elegant Ace
Gracious Ace
This 'matching' usually happens around the time the car is loaded on to a ship.
All Model 3s for Europe are currently made in the Shanghai Gigafactory and are shipped to Zeebrugge, Belgium or Koper, Slovenia through the Suez Canal in a journey taking about 30 days. All Model 3s for the UK are currently shipped from Shanghai direct to Southampton.
GRACIOUS ACE is coming from Japan, so definitely not a Tesla carrier ...I think that Gracious Ace is out of the running. Looks like this is elsewhere now.
Interesting. Well let's see. Sounds like some TAs are more hopeful and forthcoming than others. Let's see what Mr Miserable has to say on the shipping front in the coming days.Hello everyone - new here. I've a Model Y on order in UK, and just spoken to Tesla - they told me that they'll get shipping information over the next few days and I should get an update with delivery information (I ordered the morning of Day 2) in the next 5-7 days Not sure if that is helpful..!
