I wonder how likely it is that Tesla continues shipping cars to Europe all the way to the end of the quarter (to be delivered in January). I'm aware that the end of Q4 is also the end of the year so even more significant in terms of maximising deliveries up until the last day, but the message from the management in the Q3 shareholder update letter was fairly clear that they're aiming for continuous deliveries throughout.

9 months watching and never known so many boats in transit! Q4 looks to be a bumper Q at least by comparison to Q2 and Q3 2022.
Yes the message was clear as if they deliberately decided to go down this route - the fact is they had little choice but to miss end of quarter deadlines. It was spin. If there was a baby to kiss, they would have done that too. You can be reassured that there will be minimal cars at sea over the quarter end and the famous Tesla end-of-quarter push is alive and well and coming to a theatre near you in a matter of weeks.
This doesn't fit the fact that Tesla said my car will arrive at Södertälje port, which is much closer to Stockholm and "middle" of Sweden. Can't find arrivals for the port that far ahead but will keep an eye on Vessels in port and look for ships arriving around the 3rd of December.
So that would be another scheduled service. That list of schedules that I linked actually has a service from Zeee to Södertälje. This week it’s Thames Highway, next schedule it will be some other ship. They update that once a week so on the 22nd, there should be an updated schedule. Maybe another Södertälje-bound ship will xome up there then.
@Mr Miserable : do you think it could be on another ship (not the second one I mean, because the EDD would be completely wrong in that case) ? Maybe a ship that has not been identified yet ?
It's possible I suppose that there is another, 3rd, ship but I have yet to find it.
Let's be clear nobody's S/X is loaded onboard yet and so there is still time for it to appear.
Repost once HOEGH TRANSPORTER has departed and in the meantime, enter the HOEGH TRANSPORTER competition to see if you can guess where your car will be on 24 Nov!
Same problem for me, unable to find my VIN in the HOEGH TRANSPORTER's VIN control system...so there is another boat with Plaids for Switzerland.Thanks ! Really appreciate the reply.
And I entered the competition
Clearly it depends where you are collecting from! If you are collecting from Southampton Docks you would think you would benefit from an earlier delivery compared to someone in Belfast.
When the cars come of the ship they are parked in compounds or the multi-storey car park at the docks and then they go through a preparation process. The process is pictured below.
Once they have gone through this they are then put almost directly on to transporters or are taken to the Southampton delivery centre. Clearly this centralised pre-delivery process could be regarded as a bottleneck but it would appear to be well staffed and the task is being conducted to a much higher standard than when the process was done previously at individual delivery centres. I'm not sure whether it is a 24 hr operation, I doubt it, but from what I saw earlier this year it does not appear to be a bottleneck at all and so transporter availability would appear to be the prime delivery scheduling factor.
Wait until the ship is loaded! In the meantime, enter the HOEGH TRANSPORTER competition to see if you can guess where your car will be on 24 Nov!
So GRANDE HALIFAX is now on her way! Again.
She spent just 12 hrs alongside the Haitong terminal (it couldn't have been much shorter because of the tide).
Her ETA for Singapore is early on 25 Nov (local time)
I estimate she should arrive in Southampton around 15 Dec.
DONG A GLAUCOS is preparing to depart to Singapore also but planning to arrive about 12 hrs behind GH.
We don't yet know where she is heading but we haven't had a departure to Koper for a while and so it would be my guess.
I reckon she could arrive in Koper around 11 or 12 Dec.
