Norwegian P566 got Finalize button today (reported on Norwegian forum).
My speculation:
* Elon Musk stated 40% of manuf. capacity will be for Europe = 200 cars a week
* Roundtrip time LA-EU for a delivery vessel sailling at 16 knots is 40-42 days - make it 7 weeks including loading/unloading etc.
* Taken together, I speculate that each delivery to EU will be around 1400 cars
* It could make sense to only call at one port each time, to avoid double paperwork and extra sailing
* So: 1400 cars delivered in Drammen, Norway in first batch. Seven weeks later, 1400 cars delivered in Rotterdam. Thereafter, alternating between the two according to demand.
Disclaimer: I have no other basis for this speculation than the reasoning above (and sea-distances.com)
EDIT: A person on Norwegian forum refers to quotes from Tesla representatives in Norway who have said that the cars will be shipped in containers, 4 at a time. A bit surprising, but I have no reaon to doubt this info.
