Ok, so I've been geeking out over how my MY is being shipped by rail to the East coast and thought I'd share what I've found for those of you who are also waiting.
The below info is by no means definitive since I've put it together based on what I've heard from my SA and what others have been told by their SA. Here's the data "input" I used:
The below info is by no means definitive since I've put it together based on what I've heard from my SA and what others have been told by their SA. Here's the data "input" I used:
- Tesla ships by rail from Fremont to the East coast. It seems like they use either or both Union Pacific (UP) and BNSF.
- My SA told me my vehicle will be shipped by rail to Chicago, then truck to MA.
- For those in southeastern U.S., I've read others being told their MY is shipped via rail to Birmingham, AL, then truck to their SC.
- My MY was last pinged in Milpitas, CA...which is where UP has a rail yard for loading and transporting vehicles by rail.
- The rail yard in Milpitas, CA is operated by Union Pacific (map)
- BNSF has a rail yard in Richmond, CA (see PDF for their rail routes for shipping vehicles in the US and Mexico)
- List of automotive loading/unloading rail locations in the U.S. You'll find "Tesla" listed on here as well as the Milpitas, CA location.
