HERE to see a wonderful map of the world. Superimposed on it are the latest positions, updated via satellite, of confirmed Tesla ships. It's gone a little quiet at the moment!
Those ships are:
GLOVIS COURAGE is alongside in Barcelona and is scheduled to depart later tonight. I'm interested to see where she heads to next.
HOEGH TRAVELLER is bound for Le Havre (12 Oct) and Zeebrugge on 15 Oct.
She is presently crossing the Bay of Bengal and is heading for Suez.
She is known, so far, to have a few Model 3s onboard. We don't know how many in total but I don't expect it to be many.
Although the cars are being shipped over a quarter-end this is clearly not a full scheduled shipment but rather a shipment of a few cars that failed to be shipped, for whatever reason, on their scheduled ship.
I'm still keen to get an idea of the number of Teslas onboard and so if you have your VIN enter it
HERE and it will tell you whether your car is onboard. This only works for cars onboard Hoegh ships. Do let me know if a search is successful and please provide me with at least the first three numbers eg 620XXX. I haven't been inundated with VINs and so I think it reasonable to conclude we are not talking big numbers here and to describe the quantity as a few is valid.
The Southampton arrivals board for the 27th has been published and there is nothing there of interest (you may recall the rumours of a mystery ship arriving on the 27th). Before writing it off completely let's see where GLOVIS COURAGE departs to and see what appears on the arrivals board for the 28th.
With the start of Q4 on the horizon I have tasked our San Francisco dog walker to take a meander passed the office with the whiteboard planner to see if anything is being forecast to depart from Pier 80. (For new readers, there is an office somewhere in San Francisco with a whiteboard visible from the street which my correspondent recognised had names of ships due to arrive at the pier Tesla use scrawled on it. The board can't be seen in daylight but if the office light is left on overnight, which it often is, our correspondent can read it whilst he is out walking his dog!) Troy Teslike is forecasting 7,250 Model S/X will be shipped from Fremont to EU in Q4. At the moment we don't know how they will be shipped but the figures look about right for 2 boatloads to me. Stay tuned....
