Found a LOT of Model 3's in a Tesla lot - Pictures inside

[Zorg]

Lot is full again. Probably some down time over the weekend

From last week, seen at the Port of San Francisco: Massive Tesla Model 3 shipment spotted ahead of first oversea deliveries

There's another boat, Glovis Cosmos at Pier 80, someone go take a picture!

Do you work out of a blimp? Neat!

Older picture. Most likely not Model 3, definitely wrong ship.

Those are model 3s and if not the exact ship it’s a sister roll on roll off ship.

U sure those are Model 3? I can't tell. The picture shows ro/ro car carrier Opal Ace. To my knowledge that one was last seen at pier 80 in May 2018, probably shipping Model S and X to non EU international markets.

Gloves Cosmos left port today from port 80, replete with Tesla’s. Likely headed for Norway, but possibly Amsterdam or zeebrudge. Should arrive somewhere about February 10th with anywhere from 2000 to 5700 cars. Gloves captain had only about 2000 cars, apparently (I didn’t count them).

That aerial photo of the cars and ship reminds me of the MV Cougar Ace that was shipping about 5000 Mazda vehicles before it lost stability in the Northern Pacific or Bering Sea and had to be tugged in. Most of the Mazdas were fine but ended up having salvage titles.

Because they were Mazda’s or because they were damaged?

Interesting, the tonnage is 9% smaller than the Glovis ships. Someone said 2000 cars on the first glovis, but it would not make sense to load halfway. Weight isn’t that much different vs a Mazda.

I recall the event on seeing the picture. That would definitely smash up some cars.

1/21/19 around 8:30am - employee lot is pretty empty so probably another shutdown for the holidays. Not too much going on at the production lot except for workers finishing up a permanent fence.

1/30/2019 around 9:45 am - 11 carriers in the lot, saw a full one leaving and an empty one coming in.

Either they produce less or they ship faster, but I don't see the lot full anymore

 

[kengchang]

I would figure the throughput of shipping to Pier 80 is much higher than to other further location

I think shipping to pier 80 is easier and faster. The pier has a new boat every few days, but we don’t know if they’re taking full boats or sharing with other mfrs.
