Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[IshaalK]

A 13 storey floating car park essentially. I had no idea how the cars were stowed in such a vessel. So great that you shared this. Thank you. I wonder how the cars (especially Tesla's) are tied down to prevent movement in rough seas? Tie-downs over the tyres perhaps?

They aren't tied down or anything, its the parking break. Vessels like these don't really move a lot in rough seas, they also take different routes to prevent sailing through rough seas.

While we wait another few weeks months.... quite a nice video showing what our favourite container ship looks like inside

Interesting! So how they do the fumigation? There obviously a lot of openings on the vessel. Do they fumigate each car one by one?

One day it will be our turn.

Yea but where are the bugs?

They are actually lashed down. There are a number of videos on youtube showing this, and also mentioned on the Hyundai Glovis website. The little circle things on the floor are D-clips to attach the lashings to. It would be very irresponsible to rely on the brakes out at sea.

Also, commercial shipping companies do NOT take smooth seas.. they take the route most economical.. as that is what it's all about. Lashing costs next to nothing compared to a longer route + extra crew time costs.

I talked with ISS and they said this fumigation taking place would only take 24-48 hours since it passed inspection, the NSW Agriculture has a *must fumigate* policy even after stink bugs have been cleared. This fumigation should end today night and should unload at Brisbane. It will make its way to Port Kembla on Wednesday.

@IshaalK - I know this post from you is from a while back, but I just wanted to ask who at ISS you spoke with at that point? Were they wrong, or were they just the wrong person to ask. Did you phone them, or was it an email?

I realise it doesn't matter, but I'm just trying to figure out if something changed, or whether there's just a whole lot of misinformation going around, intentionally or not (not from you specifically, but the relevant authorities/Tesla etc).

and since we all have nothing better to do, here's the engine room of the GC - which hasn't been getting much action lately. Still pretty cool - and I watched it carefully and again saw no bugs.

The Don Juan is slowing and is scheduled into Port Kembla at 2:30pm

Scheduled to leave for Melbourne early Friday morning...

(Sorry, Stinkship guys)

That is impressive.

Any ideas the typical length on long from the text saying "Arrived in Australia" (which suggests it's been unloaded, and is now enroute to the dealer), to receiving the car? I cannot contain my excitement.

From what we saw of the cars that GC managed to unload a couple of weeks ago, it was about a week to the schedule pickup message and another week to delivery day.

Has anyone had any further updates from tesla following the email from yesterday? Wondering if the stink ship has had a once over from DAFF

I just picked up my MY yesterday that was on Morning Cello so I've got some recent timelines to try and outline below.

• Morning Cello docked in Melbourne at 12.30am on 9th of November
• Received "Your car has arrived in Australia" text on 9th of November at 3pm
• Received "Schedule Delivery" text on 13th November at 6pm
• Picked up car yesterday at 10am which was the earliest delivery date/time I could choose

Hope that helps.

Excellent thank you. So ~ 2 weeks from the text

I got my scheduling sms on the 3rd of Nov and my earliest pickup is 1 Dec. So it varies a lot.

I honestly don’t understand how I got saddled with a pickup date so far out. I bet there are people that had their vehicles arrive after mine on other ships, that got earlier delivery dates.

Turns out the car that I've recently been assigned to was on the Morning Cello which arrived to Port Kembla weeks ago (I thought it was on the Don Juan). Just got off the phone with Tesla to ask about scheduling delivery - they said the VIN transfer has been complete and it's initiated a request for logistics from PK to Alexandria (Sydney) - once the logistics has been scheduled to Alexandria then apparently the text goes out to the owner to schedule in a pickup. He said it could happen any day now.

He also mentioned there's another ship that's come in the meantime so there's apparently a lot of cars there.
