First boatload of M3 to Europe

[Erpel]

Viking Adventure is now on the way to Europe as ship #8.
Assuming an average of 2.5k-3k units per vessel the overall deliveries for Europe should add up to ballpark 20-25k for Q1-2019.
Looking back at the US ramp last year end of March in Europe will probably feel like end of April in the US in 2018.

Glovis Countess is now loading at SF Pier 80.

Glovis Countess is now loading at SF Pier 80.

Glovis Countess is now heading for China, TIANJIN.

 

[miimura]

Glovis Courage is due in Zeebrugge tomorrow morning, 6 March. It is currently south of Weymouth, England.

 

[miimura]

Glovis Courage has left Zeebrugge and is now heading for Oslo, due to arrive on 14 March.
Grand Venus is due at Zeebrugge on 16 March.
Glovis Star is due at Zeebrugge on 18 March
Viking Adventure is due at Zeebrugge on 24 March.

I have not seen any vehicle carrier vessels at SF Pier 80 this week. Perhaps the factory has been producing cars for US consumption recently.

 

[miimura]

Grand Venus is docked at Zeebrugge
Glovis Star is holding offshore, likely waiting for dock space at Zeebrugge

Still no sign of any vehicle carrier vessels at SF Pier 80 in the last week. Tesla must be concentrating on US production now that SR variants have been ordered.

TeslaBjorn's YouTube channel also had some video clips of Glovis Courage unloading in Oslo. He commented that the lead times for new orders suggest that Tesla may have speculatively produced some AWD and P-AWD Model 3's for Norwegian inventory.

 

[Arpe]

Anyone knows why Grand Venus have been docked in Zeebrugge for 3 days?

There must be some kind of hold up, usually they are a lot faster, right?

Grand Venus is en-route to Oslo now.
Glovis Star has taken its place at the dock at Zeebrugge.

Perhaps it took longer to sort out which cars were supposed to be unloaded at Zeebrugge and which stayed on board to continue on to Oslo.

What does EARLY 2019 mean? ... Day 4 reservation holder, Q1 2019 almost gone. Czech Republic/Other Europe

 

[Erpel]

All of the eight Q1-2019 vessels have arrived into Zeebrugge in the meantime. Would expect to see even more arriving into Europe next quarter as China may not be as viable any more due to the tax conflict.

I think it will take far into April till all the M3 will have been delivered to the final customers.

 

[Erpel]

New quarter has just started. Curious to see how many vessels are going to ship to Europe. My guess would be 12?

 

[Arpe]

So first International ship in Q2 seems to be Glovis Sonic,
First Q2 international shipment will be aboard the Glovis Sonic : teslamotors

But this ship is going to Japan, anyone knows more about this?

 

[mick4545]

Japan is left hand drive. No model 3s aboard.

 

[miimura]

Japan is left hand drive. No model 3s aboard.

Should be "Japan is Right Hand Drive. No Model 3s aboard".

The assertion is correct. Just because the vessel stopped at San Francisco, it doesn't mean that they put any Model 3's on it.

 

[Aryart]

any news about a ship going to europe ? waiting a LR/AWD so pretty hype to get it

 

[banned-66611]

Depends where in Europe... You can buy them already in Norway, delivery takes a week or two from stock. In the UK the configuration page isn't even available yet.

 

[Aryart]

the version that I ordered isn't in stock for the moment : LR/AWD,blue , black interior with FSD and aero wheel

 

[Erpel]

Finally a vessel (Cornelia Morning) has docked at Pier 80 for loading.
Gut feel tells me it’s going to China. I have no further proof for it than that the other “morning” ships also went to China.

 

[Aryart]

Finger crossed
