Ordered a MYP in the UK last week through a company scheme. No VIN assigned and no hidden vin, however I had a text this evening asking me to collect the car tomorrow at 3pm, 3hrs away from my house. Had to decline it as no way could have taken a day off work at that short notice and arrange travel etc. end of quarter push I guess…

2023 Shipping Movements
- Thread starter Mr Miserable

I had a phone call on Tuesday stating that there were no cars of my specification available currently and would I be interested in changing to a different specification which they have available. When I said no rather bluntly he was a bit taken aback, I wonder how many people do go for that just to shave what could be a week or two off delivery.
I told him that I had been assigned a VIN which had since disappeared so I had confidence a car was on its way for me, he said that was the case and they were expecting it earlier than originally planned. Since then my EDD has gone from 08-28 July to 04-20 July.

Edit: I just googled it, nothing newer than the 72 hour strike notice. They'll take job action on Saturday unless they come to an agreement before then.
It happened with the WestJet pilot's union, so that gives me hope that we could see the same outcome here.
I think GOLD KOCHAV was indeed the one, I just received a text message for collecting the car 10/07 in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

Just in case it is useful for tracking shipping, even trains. Might explain Made In Germany (MiG) going the wrong way to ports (Taiwan also).
Turkey is a new market that seems to have huge demand - Tesla expected 1000 units and got orders of 10,000 in less than a month in April when orders began. No reports of May/June orders but someone else said Tesla website says sold out to end of 2023.
Several hundred delivered to Safiport port in Kocaeli around 21st June. Looks to be about 100 km from Istanbul and 354km from Ankara.

21st June
Yes either that or perhaps they rejected it as they weren’t happy with it…I guess we will never know!
I suspect that MiG cars are being moved by rail from Berlin and then exported via Antwerp to Turkey and Israel.
I don't track these shipments which I regard as being intra-European. (yes, my old geography teacher is rolling in his grave).
However I will if the ship continues on to Taiwan or seems likely to.

It's the end of the quarter - they will ring around to get anyone to accept a delivery - very unlikely to be a rejected car though.
These stories abound but there is no evidence of this practice occurring.

Today is June 30. I’m curious from a shipping standpoint, are these 3 ships the complete worldwide list of ships carrying Teslas over the Q2/Q3 boundary? I’m trying to roughly determine inventory cars for end of Q2. Are any destined for Canada besides the light load on VIKING SEA? [reference to the cars seen in message #2331 and excellent commentary in #2325 and #2336.]
Probably not, it starts on Saturday and ends on Monday which is when the ship is due to arrive. We'll still be getting our cars in early July.
It’s not a 72 hour strike. It’s 72 hour notice for the strike to begin. But hopefully won’t last long or at all.
Yeah, they're not gonna go on strike just for 3 days, that wouldn't be very effective, lol.
Hopefully they come to an agreement at the 11th hour like WestJet did with their pilots - in any labour dispute, no one actually wants to see a strike happen.
If a strike does begin, though, ships are not just going to sit there and wait. I would like to think they would send ships south to places like Seattle to unload, and bring cargo into Canada by land. However, the American ports will already be extremely busy, so adding ships destined for Canada will only add more congestion, so it's not going to be a magic solution.
Even if Tesla sends our ships south of the border, we're still talking a minimum 2 week delay before the vehicles are offloaded and on their way to their final destination.
I suspect GOLD KOCHAV which arrived in Zeebrugge yesterday has a bunch of cars that won't get delivered by quarter end.
I would hate to put a figure on it but I don't think it was a full shipment for 2 reasons:
1. She only spent 13 hrs loading and
2. I didn't detect a VIN shower.
So put it down for about 500 cars.
I'm not confident that the UK delivered anywhere near the amount of cars it would have normally and I suspect the inventory is larger than ever. This is the 2nd quarter when the UK has been left with inventory.
Otherwise VIKING SEA you are aware of (250 cars), CRYSTAL RAY unknown but prob around 1500 at most, and there is the possibility of GOLD STAR which is heading to Turkey with MYP. No VIN shower seen but then again not many Turks on this thread. Loading time might suggest 1500 - 2000 cars.
I'm not sure about Australia - DON JUAN may have a load and shipments to Perth have been by all accounts crazy this quarter. The Perth shipments are not shipped direct and so are difficult to nail.
All in all I don't think we are talking huge numbers at sea, relatively speaking.
Hope this helps.
@Mr Miserable Any info to suggest which ship would carry the next Tesla shipment for Canada, and when?
I remember seeing a rumor that MORNING CECILIE could do so in the coming days, but it just sailed from Vancouver to Ulsan, Korea, and is now about to arrive in Pyeongtaek, which Google says is a major shipping port for Kia.
So unless she's taking Kia vehicles to China, I'm not so sure that she'll be carrying Teslas anytime soon...
Like I said, I am trying not to go insane tracking ships, but I know for sure that I'm not getting my Tesla from VIKING SEA, so my brain is wondering when the next ship might sail, lol

At the moment I am looking at MORNING MARGARETA which should depart Shanghai on 3 Jul arr Vancouver 15 Jul. Best shot for the moment.
