On the Tesla Ireland ordering site it still gives Estimated Delivery: Apr – Jun 2023 for custom orders, if they dock elsewhere before landing in Dublin and take a few days to register it after landing that woukld suggest the ship should already have departed Shanghai at least... Notable that all the inventory cars seen the other day are no longer on the website

That's interesting if only because once again we see Irish cars being loaded onto UK- bound ships. The Tesla charter is only as far as Southampton and so they may be offloaded there and then transhipped on to a Zeebrugge-bound ship later. This is what I believe happened to the "900" Irish cars that recently arrived in Dublin. At the moment I don't know where GRANDE MIRAFIORI will depart to (UPDATE: She will depart to Antwerp) and we may be lucky and it heads to Zeebrugge.
The normal state of affairs is for Irish cars to be shipped direct to Zeebrugge from Shanghai.

Over in Shanghai, it looks like the next ship of interest to arrive will be MORNING CAROLINE tomorrow. I have not yet found an intinerary for her.
That makes sense if Tesla wishes to delay allocating cars between UK and Ireland until the last moment, would also allow them to be made as a single batch in the factory without needing to separate them in China.
Yeah from chatting with Tesla things have changed for Irish deliveries in H1 2023. Normally there would be two deliveries a year to Ireland - one in March and one in September. Since the price cuts in January the interest is such that there will be be a total of 4 ship loads of cars in total! Two of which have arrived and two of which are apparently on their way.
As things stand, anyone with a VIN for a MY has an EDD of end May to start of June (presumably on Grand Champion given timelines and timing of VINs at Suez Canal). People with a VIN for a M3 have for some reason had their VIN and EDD for same dates removed and changed to TBD with no hidden VIN anymore. According to the above they’re expected to arrive on a later ship in June. Hard to keep track now!
Not entirely true. I have an order for an M3. My EDD did change to TBD but I still have a hidden VIN. Most people I’ve heard from haven’t had their VIN removed
Off the Pacific coast of Mexico at the moment and heading north are JASPER ARROW and RCC COMPASS. Both these vessels will call in at Pier 80 in San Francisco next week. I have asked my local contacts there to see if they can see what will be loaded on to the ships.
You may recall I mentioned the other day about the early arrival of GRANDE CALIFORNIA, well it seems that she has gone into a dockyard opposite the Haitong terminal for some routine maintenance. I think it safe to say she will be in the dockyard for just under 2 weeks.
Hi Mr.M
The ship has left Izmir and going to Egypt. Just after she left, I received my VIN and engine numbers for MY LR order.
I am sure it is this ship, but also have doubts about the source harbor as you mentioned.
GRANDE MIRAFIORI Competition
Where will GRANDE MIRAFIORI be at Midday UTC on 16 May 23?
She should be sailing somewhere between Suez and Southampton.
She should be sailing somewhere between Suez and Southampton.
All you have to do is choose a major square and then one of the 25 minor squares within it, that you think the ship will be located in. (I realise they aren't actually square!)
Only 1 entry per person
In the event of a tie, the person who chose the closest small square first will be declared the winner.
The competition will close for entries at Midday UTC on 11 May 23 or when the ship enters the Suez Canal, if earlier.
There is no prize - it's just bit of fun! It's free to enter.
Results will be announced on the shipping thread on 16 May 23.

Hi, new member from Sweden here and really appreciate all the updates. I try to understand how it works in Shanghai, is it only the south harbour that is used for Tesla Europe exports? Because I think Hoegh shanghai loaded from another place and if so, why is not Morning Peace that left yesterday to Zeebrugge on the list?
How accurate is the map? Marine traffic website seems to update differently
Tesla do indeed use Haitong and Taicang ports as well as Shanghai South.
MORNING PEACE's 1st stop will be Antwerp which is not a port Tesla use and so we can say that this is not a Tesla charter. Lots of other marques, increasingly EVs, are made in China too and so not every ship is a Tesla ship. Additionally, there are the buses, trains, cranes and farming equipment that are loaded on to RoRos for export too.
That's not to say there will not be Teslas onboard this ship because her second stop is Zeebrugge on 31 May. Tesla have been buying up all available space to ship their cars and so there is a chance there may be some onboard. The key word here is 'some'.
If I see a VIN shower that fits with MORNING PEACE's arrival I will tag her as a suspect
