It's been a wonderful day here in S England and so I haven't been following ships.
VIKING ADVENTURE does appear to have loaded some vehicles from the draught figures but I'm still not convinced she is carrying Teslas.
Her destination is also an unusual one - only the 2nd RoRo to head there from Shanghai this year according to my records. The port itself is a very busy container port and I suspect she is going there to load/unload vehicles to bypass the severe Shanghai COVID lockdown restrictions. It just adds more weight to my doubts about this ship carrying Teslas. In fact, I'm not even going to add her to my (empty) suspect list.
Rule 1 is back in force.

This evening I'm going to try an identify the ship that is heading to Pier 80.
I emailed our 'San Francisco dog walker'last night however he is away in Vegas this weekend and so I will have to dust off my old Pier 80 west coast trawl method. It could be a long night....
Happy to go to Pier 80 for you all? Perhaps if everyone throws in a tenner each?

Greets from german Tesla-Forum ... :)
 
My shortlist of Pier 80 suspects.

VIKING DESTINY
GLOVIS SUNLIGHT
DREAM DIAMOND

ALTAIR LEADER - not likely in my opinion
ANTARES LEADER - not likely in my opinion
PRESTIGE ACE - an outsider

The San Francisco port schedule should reveal the actual ship when it is updated hopefully tomorrow.
So why is San Fran so important for shipping from shanghai to Southampton?

At the moment nothing is coming from San Francisco to UK/EU.
That will change with MS/MX. Quite when that will happen is anyone's guess. (Much like when SF stopped supplying Model 3 to UK/EU).
You can be sure however that it will be spotted here first.
At the end of the day, it's a Tesla shipping movement and therefore more relevent to this thread than "when did you order?" or " what colour did you order?"
 
OK, you've lost me. As per @Kingpopsy question what is the significance of the 3 ships in SF then if nothing is coming to the UK from SF? This is a shipping thread in the UK&I group. Before anyone gets all defensive, I am just asking out of ignorance as I'm fairly new here.
No significance at the moment until Tesla start shipping their European S and X backorders, but as no one knows when that will happen it makes sense to keep an eye on it.

Whilst this thread lives under the UK forum it is used worldwide for people trying to understand Tesla shipping movements due to Mr.M arguably being the world's authority on the subject. E.g. movements from the US to Taiwan.
 
Hi, I’m also new to the forum and read this thread with interest . I ordered via Leaseplan in early April. With a July delivery as a guide from them & tesla’s website at the time. I rang Tesla last week. Although they couldn’t confirm as a car isn’t yet assigned to my RN. They said July is likely. Is this likely if ships start to move soon or an i being feed a load of cock & bull?

Tesla arrange allocation against date ordered and specification. Only they know if the spec you ordered is unique enough to not have many people in the queue in front of you. However, April is quite a late order date, so depending on what spec you have ordered July may be a very optimistic estimate.

This is THE PLACE to get early intel on incoming cars though.
 
To discuss what / when you ordered / your order status / colour / lease etc why not use the orders to delivery general discussion thread?


Leaving this thread clear to hear about Tesla Shipping Movements (as per thread title)
