So excited for our fellow Tesla Europeans! Look forward to hear more accounts once in your hands and on the road.
Glovis Captain left Zeebrugge already within less than 24 hours and is now heading to Bremerhaven/ Germany. Was that sufficient time to unload all M3 or will they stop again later eg. in Dramen/ Norway? Questions over questions.
Morning Cindy has left for China, ETA 2/20.
Hot candidate for next vehicles carrier to arrive into SFO is Glovis Courage on 2/7.

Interesting to note that "Glovis" is a Hyundai company!!!
<< The meaning of the name Glovis comes from a portmanteau
that combines together the two words "Global - Vision". >>
.. so how many Model 3s in that ship ? Still a mystery? Was there even one?
At least 200 for the Netherlands. Also a bunch for Belgium..

Hyundai Glovis is a separate company from Hyundai Motors.
Hyundai family owns a lot of different businesses, they also own Hyundai Heavy Industries which build cargo ships.
Interestingly, the first China shipment, Glovis Symphony, is en-route to Xinhui which is near Macao. Morning Cindy is going to Shanghai.
A new vessel is at Pier 80. Emerald Ace.

At the time Glovis Captain was still in SFO and the drone photo was shot someone counted 1.140 M3 which may have been right. Problem though is that this was just a snapshot which doesn’t account for the amount of cars that were already on board nor the cars that still were in route from Fremont and that still made it on the vessel.
InsideEvs is stating some 1.400 M3 and 350 Model S but they have no specifics on the source.
I’d expect the next vessel (Glovis Cosmos) to have more M3 loaded. Between the two vessels there were almost 7 full days for Tesla to stage cars and there must have been already some routine with the EU version car.
Meanwhile the german forums are going insane about the still outstanding type approval for M3 EAP, with the usual trolls giving their usual spiel about Tesla "CANT SELL M3 IN EUROPE AND WE TOLD YOU SO"
To be honest I'm surprised this hasn't spread to this forum here. Surprised and delighted.

It's on Electrek. "Don't panic" is even in the headline.
