It doesn’t say which May. Could be 12 months awayThanks… checked the app for the 100th time and it still says May… anyways I was told expressly by Tesla that the dates are estimated and they could go either way… first time I am experiencing this kind of change … date slippage was my previous experience
Ask in the delivery thread, this is all about tracking boats
19th-30th June an hour ago now no EDD shown M3RWD white black interior. Ordered 3/2/2022. Tesla really do suck at communicating information regardless of macro/micro environmental circumstances.
Glovis Splendor is heading to the port now.
Yes I agree, this thread is about shipping, not ordering/delivery's. You should all keep this going over on that thread
As has been spotted already, GLOVIS SPLENDOR is heading in to dock at Shanghai South/Luchao/Nangang/Hangzhou Bay/Pier 4 - this pier has lots of different names. It's not used exclusively by Tesla or even cars. A regular product shipped from here are blades for wind turbines although I doubt they are exported to EU/UK.
GLOVIS SPLENDOR is about 12% larger than a standard Panamax RoRo. One of the major limitations for shipbuilding for many years was the size of the locks in the Panama Canal. A Panamax ship is designed to fit (just) through the locks and most of the global fleet of car carriers were built to this specification. The long planned Panama Canal expansion opened in June 2016 and allowed for longer, wider and ships with greater draft to navigate the canal via the new locks. GLOVIS SPLENDOR is an example of a ship which would have to use the new locks. She is by no way the largest of car carriers but she is pretty big. (Of course, she will not use the Panama Canal on her journey from China to UK/EU, and there are no locks in the Suez Canal, which she will use, to worry about.)
The capacity of a car carrier is measured in RT43 units. One unit is based on a 1966 Toyota Corona. So, GLOVIS SPLENDOR can carry 7,353 Toyota Coronas. Needless to say a Tesla is longer, wider and heavier than a 1966 Toyota Corona which is why she will only be transporting about 4,000-4,500 Teslas.

Very informative, thank you! Let’s hope she is carrying 4000/4500 Teslas! If or when people start to get VINs are we to let you know?

Apologies, was trying to track the boat but EDD keeps changing so getting frustrated as to when / where vehicle is
