Bound for Singapore on Grand Hero according to WuWa’s video that I posted earlier.
Yes, it looks like Hoegh Trooper is blocking berth2 ie about one third of the Car vehicle capacity is locked up for another week. I don't think MYPs were destined to come this far south.Don't kill the messenger... Paglia now showing 13 March dock in Melbourne
AMSA detains Hoegh Trooper after Melbourne fire - Daily Cargo News
AMSA has detained the Norwegian ro-ro carrier Hoegh Trooper and is investigating the cause of a fire in the engine room

this looks glitch most likely - the whole next week - all 3 berths are empty...fingers crossed!Don't kill the messenger... Paglia now showing 13 March dock in Melbourne
Yes good point, perhaps they are expecting repairs to Hoegh Trooper to block the whole dock. Can't have cranes and ship unloading going simultaneously. Very interesting either way but we will have too wait and see.

Every time there's a photo or video of Teslas being transported there's one of these comments.
It amuses me because it suggests they've been around the Tesla community long enough to know they used to have chrome handles and window surrounds and don't anymore, and yet this is the first time they've seen one of these images and don't know it's just tape.
I have a RWD, MSM with Induction wheels on order.
In the Wu Wa video last night, I saw lots of dark cars but hardly any MSM's. What has been people's experience with ordering optional colours? Are the stock standard cars easier to come by? I suspect it won't make much of a difference, if anything lot more people would be ordering the white colour.

In many countries flat black is now the base colour (all Asian RHD markets). We are lucky that the multi-coat pearl white (PW) is the base colour in Australia or we would be paying a similar price to multi-coat red. The two multi-coat colours have 4 layers of paint whereas the black, blue and silver have only three layers. Supposedly the reasoning behind offering the pearl white multi-coat as the base colour is that Tesla engineers convinced Elon that it is better at hiding production flaws than the other colours (which is true) and that way with most people buying PW there would be less criticism of Tesla's production standards (there were still lots of early production criticism, imagine even more reputational damage if they had stuck with black as the base colour).
As these standards have improved Tesla has moved to the base colour being black in many RHD markets. Australia is fortunate not have had this happen as it does cost more to produce the PW compared to flat black. (which still has a reputation for being soft and easily damaged with scratches swirls and dirt being an ongoing maintenance issue)
Looks like Berth 2 is closed off according to schedule.
Paglia 13th March and Viking Passama now 18th March
If it makes you feel any better, Perth first MYPs are also now delayed. Their original schedule was Shanghai --> Singapore --> Fremantle with an arrival of 12th March which could have beaten you. But in an inexplicable move it's now going Shanghai --> Singapore (change ship) --> Laem Chabang/Thai (change ship) --> Fremantle which adds another 3 weeks and won't get here until 4th April.
It's a little frustrating as they were made at the same time as the NZ MYPs which are on a ship which stops in Fremantle on it's way to NZ and if the Perth cars were on the ship then they would arrive on 3/3.
We seem to be getting the dregs of the shipping options with no reason as our Port is functioning fine.
Tesla RHD vehicles spotted waiting for shipment at Shanghai port
The shipment of RHD vehicles from China would likely be a welcome update for customers in countries such as Australia, Japan, and the UK.

Hey! Me too! Exactly the same build date of 11th of Feb! My EDD is still the same.
Update: Wait, is this the 11th of February or the 2nd of November?
It's showing 2023 so it can't be 2nd of November LOL

Fortunately Tesla Australia doesn't use that weird US date format.
My build date says 28/01/2023 so it's definitely DD/MM/YYYY, and that's ignoring the possibility of time travel.
Yes makes sense, lots of Hoegh Trooper repairs/investigations on berth 2 which will be isolated from car unloading on the other two berths. Also sequential unloading of tesla ships rather than parallel as in the earlier schedule (implications for storage/transport resources I suspect). So we just hurry up and wait some more. My 3 march -24 march window in Tas just might make it as no delivery schedule centre step in melbourne maybe. Off Paglia then on a truck/ship to Devonport hopefully.

This would make sense that my car is on Paglia and EDD is 19/Mar-9/Apr
