2022 Shipping Movements

[CL65]

Indeed, and sorry to hear that.

Difficult to tell the difference between "improving data accuracy" (e.g. EDD narrowing) and "Gross incompetence" by either operator-error, or some poorly coded software in their back office systems.

Last car I bought had 4 invoices. Forgot the deposit. Removed that, but forgot the trade in. And so on. And a credit note for each such alteration.

If that happened in my organisation there would be blood on the carpet. The knock on effects from that proliferation of "transactions" causes all sorts of increased-cost-of-working. I remain surprised, over the years, as to how little Tesla has done to make their back office systems slick.

Tesla's sales invoices have to be manually generated for something simple like "Deposit exists" and "Trade in offer accepted"? Beggars belief.

That said, I have on more than one occasion assumed that "Posh accounting system data" would be accurate. Data feeds that I have taken from such systems have had "Postcode" containing anything from Surrey to "not sure" ... no idea why there would be absolutely diddly-squat data validation on such fields, in a high-end system. And I reckon Tesla will be using a "high end system"

I am very doubtful that there are "many" cars available this quarter. It could be that they are going to arrive very late for allocation to customers, and perhaps Tesla still want to do their normal "Convert every car to a sale" by quarter end (Twitter debacle not doing good things for share price, and investors will be taking Shanghai lockdown lost of production into account), so assuming there is a push to do that then order reallocation may be taking place ... Finance company? That one doesn't pay us fast enough. Pickup location - have we actually got Car Transporter available? Could it shift more cars to a closer location.

I remember somewhere (maybe Holland?) where they erected a tent on the quayside and anyone that could collect their car in the dying days of the quarter could have one! Shifted all the cars that quarter, and no car transporter costs!

But in spite all of that I still think it points to there being cars on the high seas for delivery at end of June ... just no idea which ones, yet.

For Tesla, its internally referred to Revenue hiding and Tax avoidance strategy by creating chaotic and confusing records which tally up to final credits in Tesla books (not the customer's). For many not all, there are multiple invoices and credit notes (up to 4 or 5) both prior to order and post-delivery of vehicle

TARIFA, another Ray Car Carrier will come to Shanghai tomorrow ... maybe another one to keep an eye on ?

It will be a while before any potential July ships will be setting sail. The ships we are watching now are June ships.

When I spoke to Tesla they said that mine was still on the production line but 'should' be in the UK for late June. I am still trying to get used to the way Tesla work. It is definitely a unique way of providing cars...

Huh?

You must be fun at conspiracy theory parties.

I ordered a M3LR on the 16 January and am beginning to think it was a figment of my imagination. I have been given an EDD
18 - 30 June

 

[tslmy]

EDD 18-30 June for my Model Y in the UK. Tesla said that they are waiting on an update from the port at Shanghai around shipment. Until then, they said that they won’t be able to narrow down or confirm 100% of your delivery window. They also said that as soon as they have an update for this, they will have me matched to a vehicle, which will then allow them to confirm my car REG details.

They told you porkies. Tesla UK advisors have no more information than we do. You will get a different story depending on who you talk to there.

 

[Darreno]

But it doesn't necessarily mean they are all for export (and what % of that is RHD)... Even if with the lockdown I doubt there are lot of people actively looking to buy cars in their domestic market right now...

That is correct, they have been shipping domestic cars the last few months. The Chinese forums have been tracking shipments like is done here

How long does it usually take for a ship which carries Teslas to arrive in the UK from Shanghai? Thanks.

My brother received a text saying his black MYP is on the way to dubai jebel ali, but for mine i didnt receive anything which is a white MYP ordered same time. Asked tesla SA and he replied : ship transferring only black model Y … how credible is his reply? How does he know?

Do you have an EDD on the app for your car? And what is it showing for your brother?

Waiting for a news article to confirm this but Shanghai made 26k cars since reopening.

Tesla’s Giga Shanghai Has Made 26,000 Cars Since Resuming Production - TeslaNorth.com

According to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory has only produced a total of 26,000 vehicles in the 30 days since it resumed operations on April 19 (via CnEVPost). The deputy Communist Party secretary of the Lingang free-trade zone...

Read post 1 of this thread, it gives you all the info.

 

[Pajo78]

Has anyone got the VIN issued for the cars with EDD of' July'? If not, any ideas as to when these will be provided? I assume it will be when they are on the boat...

Also has anyone ordered a red MY?

Nope not expecting it this month for sure.

Nope. Off to Japan and USA.

 

[Firebolt1000]

looks like MarineTraffic needs a sub to get closer to real time stats. i wonder if any of our sources in these forums work for in Lloyds

I work in Lloyd’s. Not sure what you need me to do though?

I could go and have a chat with the marine underwriters and see if they know anything. They may have been approached to provide insurance for Tesla ships already.

Yeah I was wondering if anyone worked in the Marine area and might have access to tracking software / news bulletins / cargo info
