First boatload of M3 to Europe

[PDX-JP]

Have to say, this is a fun thread to follow.

There's satellite AIS but you don't want to know how much that costs.

Some very interesting videos about those RoRo carriers:

Here's some look inside the crew interior, but sadly the guy decided to change his mind and switch to landscape orientation in mid shoot...

Here's a stowaway sweeping service on board a Glovis carrier:

Interesting stuff, thanks for posting!

Less than 100 hours till first arrival. Countdown has started!

First AIS signal after a week. Glovis Captain is now passing the Azores Islands.

 

[Erpel]

Next vehicles carrier is moored at Pier 80, CSCC Europe. Where is the journey going to, Europe or Asia? I am sure we will know soon.

Is CAPTAIN's captain drunk?

Is CAPTAIN's captain drunk?

Autopilot mistook the exit for a lane...

 

[Erpel]

Marinetraffic now states a new arrival date, 2/5 8am. That’s a bummer and it seems like the drunken captain on the CAPTAIN is indeed a possible reason for the delay.

Glovis Captain had to slow down because of a storm waiting after the Azores. The waves were 10m high.

Conn, Sonar, Crazy Ivan!
All stop! ... Which direction?!?!
Port, sir!
(Since this happened at the top of the hour...)

Nice, vessel #4 now on its way to Europe, CSCC Europe. It took a long time to load, probably this one is particularly full with M3.

3,000 Model 3's at ASP of $60,000 would be $180,000,000. Better a two day delay than those beautiful cars sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean

Morning Cindy next ship for Europe? Hope so...

 

[Erpel]

ETA for Glovis Captain improved by 5 hours. Now it is scheduled to arrive on 5th Feb. 3am. 35 hours to go.

It's past Normandie now, almost at the Dover-Calais strait - wow!

 

[Electroman]

Wow.. a ship sailing in the ocean. What a concept !

 

[Waiting43]

Wow.. a ship sailing in the ocean. What a concept !

That's not "a" ship, that's "THE" ship!

Which European buyer is going to head over to the port and grab their car while it is still rolling off the ship to claim the "First European Delivery" of a Tesla Model 3?

Seriously, it would be good to know if anyone has a friend who either works at the port or has knowledge of how many Model 3's are on that ship. If there is a nice parking space where one could sip on their coffee and count them coming off, I'll spring for the Octuple Espresso that would be required to tally the count...

Shouldn't Tesla Bjorn be covering this?
