Hi Max - can you please confirm 5th Dec or 12th May? Thx

Seeing he’s from Australia I assume it is 5 Dec.

That's what I would think, but seems weird for a demo to be built in Dec and not ship until now

Morning Clara draught at 9.5m (from 7.6m). Let's hope fully tesla laden

 

[Jarrodbarr]

What does Draught mean? Howe do people know there may be cars on this with this stat?

Draught is how deep in the water its sitting, more cars = more weight, higher Draught

They are referring to the ship’s draft or draught, depending on US v English spelling.
It is the distance between the water line and the bottom of the ships keel. The more load on a ship, hopefully the more cars in this case, the further it lowers into the water and the bigger the draft. See Wikipedia for more details.

Rather than weigh each vehicle or whatever it is, that is how the determine the weight and therefore cost.

So some good news from China. The attached is a table showing Tesla Shanghai(named ‘T’) is able to produce over 40k cars in May. Company ‘A’ and ‘B’ are both suppliers of Tesla and are 50~80% of full production capacity.

But none for for NZ or Australia.

A solid ramp now means when we get RHD production in July they should be able to push out a lot of cars

Im pretty hopeful that a ship leaving at any time in the next week or so will be full of 14-20 week orders, and hopefully the early stages of the 5-7 month deliveries too

They exported many RHDs to the UK and Japan which points to them not following the BAU production schedule. Those were built in mid-late April.

My interpretation of what Tesla said when they cancelled all NZ and Aus production for q2 is the restart is subject to full production again. Hopefully it happens.

Because the UK is more important.

Which is why I’m continually looking at my options. I won’t be prioritising Tesla if I find a better option.

I hope so! But looking at previous build dates / delivery dates, would July be the next manufacturing run for AU/NZ cars? Could have all shifted due to the shutdown I guess..............wait and see I suppose.

Not sure about Oz but in NZ importing a UK model Y is probably the best option right now...

Yeah there are some people going down the grey import road. For me I’m not interested in the Y at all and I’m getting towards the front of the queue for a model 3 so I’ll probably hang on for that now. That’s unless a better option comes along first.

Yandex has this for those with weaker Chinese than me...
