2022 Shipping Movements

[Mr Miserable]

@Mr Miserable Eternal Ace off to Singapore now. Possibility?

ETERNAL ACE is bound for the Gulf, so is of no interest to us in EU/UK. There is no indication at the moment that Dubai are expecting another shipment and so she is not even a suspect carrier for Tesla at the moment.

I monitor all the RoRo movements at the various Shanghai docks as a matter of routine and if I see a movement of interest I will feature it in my daily summary. Additionally it's worth remembering that not every ship that calls at even Shanghai South will be on Tesla business. In that sense I provide a filter which is not provided elsewhere on the internet which seem to just list ships without bothering with any research whatsoever.

 

[Mr Miserable]

MORNING CELLO should depart Shanghai South later this afternoon (UK time) and it looks like her arrival in Southampton has now been brought forward to 04 Dec. Although she is not yet confimed to be a Tesla carrier (she is likely to already have some Korean cars onboard) I think it highly likely that she will have loaded several thousand Teslas. We shall see.....

I must admit, I'm rather confused.

At around the time we would normally expect a VIN shower, we got one and correlated it to Glovis Summit for entirely predictable and explicable reasons. I was included in this VIN shower. However, days later, when people were getting VIN showers for what we thought was RCC Europe, a number of us reported being offered delivery dates for far longer after Glovis Summit is planned to dock (and we think it may be early!) than we might expect, with the earliest being after RCC Europe has docked!

Have I misunderstood something in the normal timeline from ship docking to collections/deliveries commencing, or is this an unusually long pause? If it's unusually long, does it perhaps indicate a change in working practices with Tesla, or are we all barking up the wrong tree with ships?!

I think you're probably correct that the Morning Cello is on Tesla business. I had a chat with a TA Today and they confirmed that my EDD is still December 2022. I haven't yet been assigned a VIN, but they said they expect to be assigning a lot of vehicles over the next 3-7 days. I guess that would tie in with them assigning vehicles on the Morning Cello?

RCC AMSTERDAM ETA Koper 15 Nov. I know the 15 Nov date for Koper is correct but at her present rate she will arrive there days ahead of schedule. Could she be visiting another port prior to Koper? GRANDE CALIFORNIA arrived there early too without any known reason.

Arrival of RCC AMSTERDAM to Koper now states 12 Nov

Same here, tesla have confirmed I'll get a text from them in the next week or so for an early December delivery. Mines a lease so I'm completely in the dark. OD 22 June.

Lease here too, so I feel your pain, absolutely no communication! Although I'll feel bloody lucky if I do get it in Dec. I only ordered mine on 11th October.

 

[Mr Miserable]

MORNING CELLO has departed Shanghai South earlier than I expected.
She is heading initially to Singapore (almost certainly for a refuel) ETA 09 Nov.
Although her ETA for Southampton has been brought forward to 04 Dec there remains scope for that to be brought forward, by several days.
Watch this space....

If morning cello has departed sooner than expected does that mean not as many Tesla's on board? Or still time to load a lot? I think it only docked late last night (UK time)?

 

[Mr Miserable]

Noted.
That's a much more realistic date and stops me thinking she might have had a stop off on the way. (Ashdod)
It also more or less cements my view that GRANDE ABIDJAN must be heading to Ashdod, Israel.

Yes.
She is certainly not full of Teslas.

Just had an email from the lease company confirming my vin. Morning Cello has just departed too.

Any likelihood of SUMMIT being early to Southampton? See it says 2 days to suez currently

 

[Roy asaraf]

I was told that MV RCC AMSTERDAM
Arriving in Ashdod 8.11
With model 3 2,922

 

[hoarp]

My EDD is currently 16-31st December, if Cello gets in on the 6th, this seems too early for my order, right? I wonder if there will be another boat behind Cello?

Could be...or your EDD may come forward a little (mine and many others has over the past few days as VINs were allocated.)

 

[Danzr]

I don't think you should worry about lining up EDD dates to ships at all. Just hidden VINs / VINs

EDDs are not worth the pixels they are written on.

By my calculations, I think she is more likely to arrive in Southampton on 15 Nov.

I don't recall you telling me this.
For days I have been fishing for this information and I have suggested it in my daily summaries. ie Could she be visiting another port prior to Koper?
This is an invitation for you to tell me what you have just posted!
Anyway, so we are now looking for RCC AMSTERDAM to transit the Suez Canal on 07 Nov, arr Ashdod 08 Nov and arr Koper 12 Nov.
Now is it possible to unload 3000 cars at Ashdod and still make Koper on 12Nov? I don't think so. If RCC AMSTERDAM exits the canal and routes direct to Koper she will arrive on 12 Nov.
I can no longer check the Ashdod port arrivals website.
I'm not convinced that RCC AMSTERDAM is going to Ashdod. Who told you she was?

I too feel your pain, I also have my July order through my work lease company. They won’t give me any info other than “we was told December“ and Tesla live chat won’t tell me much other than “ask your lease company”. I just hope I do get the car in December otherwise I’ll be looking at March judging by how Tesla operate.
