Has anyone been successful in finding out which ships they are on.

Usually it’s a “best guess” - work out your build date from the invoice, then work your way forward to the likely Armacup vessels or MOLACE vessels.

This is how I guessed mine was in the Don Juan. Once the Don Juan reached the first Australian port (Brisbane), even though it wasn’t unloaded there, my VIN showed up on the RAV site. Finding this helped confirm my guess.

Since then, as the Don Juan has made it to my local port (Port Melbourne) with delays at each stop, the Tesla EDD range updates, tracked against the movements of the ship, meant I’m now 99% sure this is the one I’m on.

I suspect services and other forums that you pay for go through I similar process of deduction, albeit with more historical knowledge.

You can track the location of ships when they’re near the coastline for free with apps like MarineTraffic. You can also view the schedules of incoming and outgoing shipping movements at each Australian port via their respective websites.

Some have tried to figure out which tugboat is used to escort the ship into port, but I think that level of tracking is unnecessary.

Totally agree. I did the same..

I don't have a build date yet as the invoice isn't out yet. Working through the EDD, I can guess it's on morning crystal or the Viking passama, but since we know edds slip, it's not a good enough indication of which ship its on without using a vin tracker.

I have vedaprimes ship tracking service but he doesn't know yet.

 

[derek1218]

I've read here and elsewhere that you get an email (or text) and I think that has instructions? I've not got any email or text yet, but I'm guessing I'll have it once I get the invoice.
I'll be contacting the SA if I need any further clarification after I get the invoice.

Thanks fkr the good information. please let us know after

I don’t think any paid service / forum has access to VIN-specific information that isn’t available publicly anyway.

If it ends up on a MOLACE ship, MOLACE have a public VIN search page that anyone can enter their VIN into.

 

[neilg]

Don Juan from williamstown ...

Don Juan from williamstown ...

Looks like you are about to launch something and sink it…

 

[Minties]

Me too, does it mean the delivery centre will be open during xmas for us to pick up ??

When I spoke to Zander at the Fortitude Valley dealership, he said they'd be trying to get them all delivered prior to Christmas, but who knows...

OD: 17/2/22 EDD: 19/12 to 31/12 VIN: 25/11

Yeah I found that out now, I was of the impression that if you give him a vin you would get tracking info. It seems like just generalised ship information? Not sure I personally see the value in it but.

 

[Jusebert]

Yeah my best guess is that the 19th - 31st December cars in Brisbane will be on the Viking Passama. Probably a bunch of Sydney and Melbourne cars as well?

 

[neilg]

Looks like they started unloading.. lots of white and blue spotted

I was thinking that about Brisbane deliveries.

I don't want to start the whole debate/debacle that's associated with discussing these services (of which I don't subscribe to) but from what I gather is they know where the info is via various sources and can more easily give you a good idea of where it will likely be, much quicker than an inexperienced person could do themselves.
Although, as more people start to share the tracking info/sites (e.g. shipping schedules, VIN searches), it may well get easier for the inexperienced.

 

[No EV]

Have people that got the EDD update and Vision prompt on Friday got their invoice yet?

Nope

Understood, it's neither my intention to start a debate around it, as we've done enough of it. My best guess is if your dates are 16-30dec, and you're in nsw your on the crystal, if you're 19th-31st and you're in Brisbane you are on the passama?

Update.... I have now had my EDD changed to 15-Dec - 29 Dec! I found the vin on the Tesla account in the ''Ápplication for Vehical Registration" section after accepting the Tesla Vision prompt but not sure if this constitutes an "Ïnvoice"or not....

Is this the Invoice? Do others see this?
OD: 23-04
